Favorite
childhood memory- Family vacations , trips to the library on Saturdays,
too many too name. She will do anything for her kids.
Favorite adult memory- How
excited and at peace she is when all 3 kids are home at once since it doesn't
happen very often.
Something I admire about
her: her
wisdom. She's Always right! It's creepy. I Trust her advice so much. Her advice
is usually spot on with my guts tell me to do.
Her best piece of advice- To
Treat people equally. Never leave people out.
funniest memory-
is going whitewater rafting and falling out of the boat and not being able to
get back in the raft because of laughing so hard and losing the energy and just
floating there for 30 minutes until people threw her back on board.
Nicest thing she’s done
for me was:
always supported me in music and is still genuinely interested...
Something
she always says- : Always
says "nip It in the bud" when a problem arises.., always...
Time she
was right: She's
right a lot.. But probably most to respect people. When people teach you that
as a kid, you continue to respect people as an adult. That's what she doesn't
have any enemies, she's easy going and nice to everyone. She's a great mom! Can't imagine not having
her, as I wouldn't be who I am without her guidance, support. She's ALWAYS
available, always there. Like a rock.

My favorite childhood memory of her – There are so
many I don’t know where to start. From the numerous vacations we got to go on,
to my Dad always filming her butt as she ran out of the room. Every home video
has this on it! Haha We are so lucky to have so many home videos of us growing
up.She would always say “Are you having a happy childhood”? To which we would
all reply yes! Sometimes annoyed at the question, but she always cared that we
were happy.
My favorite adult memory of her- All of our family
gatherings, she spends so much time cleaning her house, cooking all the food,
and coordinating things. I always know that we’ll have a great time at her
house because she puts so much work into it.
Something I admired about her- She has always worked
full time and taken care of 3 kids too. She was involved in all of our
activities from sports to music, etc. I know it had to be exhausting. She
always took us to church even when we didn’t want to get out of bed.
Her best piece of advice-In my yearbook the year I
graduated she wrote the verse “ For those who exalt themselves will be humbled,
and those who humble themselves will be exalted. Matthew 23:12 “ I have always
remembered that. She encouraged us all to work hard and do well in school,
watch our money wisely and just be good people.
Funniest memories- There are so many. I have to agree
with Jordan that she does speed through parking lots pretty fast… one time we
were in the car together and me and Jordan are looking at each other like “is
she going to stop?!” like seriously terrified. I’m pretty sure that every meal
for the last 20 something years of my life she has left baked beans, corn, or
any other vegetable in the microwave while we’re already eating.. she always
finds them like hours or days later. Never fails! And she always used to burn
the bread and we would all make fun of her. Another thing is that she always
used to sleep in this old denim shirt, like long sleeved, button up! And then
she started wearing the denim shirt with jeans around the house so we would all
say “oh no, she’s wearing DOUBLE DENIM!”
Nicest thing she’s done for me was- being such a good
grandma. She would buy whatever my kids ever needed, or drop everything and be
at my house on a moment’s notice. She’s never missed a birthday, special event
etc of theirs and keeps them pretty much every weekend. She texts me every day
to see how my kids are doing and never misses a day of talking to them.
Something she ALWAYS says- Wear your seat belt! 30 is
the new 20! lol
Time she was right- Pretty much always, and as I get
older I realize that more and more.
Jordan
Favorite
childhood memories-
Countless trips to libraries and bookstores, having her try to brush through my
hair that was always in knots/needing to have objects cut out of it
(sunglasses, headbands, etc.)
Favorite
adult memory- The
time we went to my orientation at OSU and someone kept scooting their chair
around really loudly… which for some reason got us laughing and we could not
stop. We finally had to exit the room because we were making a scene with our
giggling, and the director of the Honors College gave us a very stern look for
being so distracting.
Something
I admire- I've never
seen someone so willing to sacrifice for other people. She will do anything for
her kids/grandkids, regardless of what she needed to do for herself that day.
Best
piece of advice- She
often reminds me not to compare my life to others'; never wish for someone
else's life because you never know what's really happening behind the scenes
with them.
Funniest
memories- She drives
at least 50 mph through every parking lot. This is always a scary experience.
Also, sometimes her texts are impossible to decode because there are soooo many
typos! haha
Nicest
things she's done for me- Dropping whatever she is doing if
I call her and am having any sort of problem, whether it be serious or pretty
insignificant.
Something
she always says-
"Wear your seatbelt, drive safe"… even if I won't be getting in the
car or driving for the next 24 hours.
Time she
was right- The day I
moved into my dorm freshman year, I was suddenly terrified to start college and
was afraid of the "big city" of Stillwater. I was literally frozen in
the parking lot of Chick-fil-A and did not want to get out of the car.
(Dramatic, I know.) She just told me I would have the best 4 years of my life,
all I had to do was get started. And she was right.
