What I would like to receive for Christmas is…..

What I would like to recieve for Christmas is the same thing I get every year, family time. Every Christmas, we wake up and go to my father-in-law's house so my children can open their gifts. We hang out with all my husband's brothers, sister, and father. Luke, my father-in-law, always cooks a huge lunch and we all sit around the table and reminisce and spend time with neices and nephews.
Then, we go to my mother's house. All 7 of my mom's kids, including myself, gather at her house for the rest of the night. We laugh, cry, drink, and eat a huge dinner. It is a little chaotic, but she wouldn't have it any other way. Between all of us kids, our significant others, and children, there are 22 of us.

The best book I've ever read was.....

The best book I've ever read I can't even remember the name of. It was by an author named Sydney Sheldon. It was about a woman with multiple peraonality disorder who had no idea of it. Not only that, but she would kill and castrate men. The book then goes on into her being caught and going to a grand jury trial for the murders. The book felt so real. It actually felt like I was one of the jurors on the stand. In the book, they had all kinds off health and psychological professionals testifying that multiple peraonality disorder wasn't real. All at the same time, the woman being tried for the crimes is scared to death because she has no idea what is going on and why she is there. It wasn't until she actually changed personas in the middle of the trial, one of her other personalities confessed and told the court that she had no idea someone else was driving her body. At the end of the story, surprisingly, they found her not guilty.

The most amazing thing I've ever seen is......

The most amazing I've ever seen is watching the birth of my niece. Witnessing a new life being brought into this world is one of the most precious moments in life. To realize how delicate, how fragile, how tiny. Although I have children of my own, I wasn't able to see or experience like I did that day. Even though not all aspects of childbirth are glorious and beautiful. There is a little bit of ugly with the whole process, but I couldn't imagine anything quite as amazing as it was that day. She was healthy. She was happy. And most of all, she was welcomed into this world by a huge loving family.

When you were a child, what did you want to be when you grew up?

As a child, I always dreamed of being a veterinarian. The idea of helping sick and hurt animals sounded amazing. Who doesn't want to help somebody or something? But the more I looked into it, the less it appealed to me. Some things you just can't bring yourself to do. I dont think if somebody brought me their pet snake, I would be very apt to take it. Granted I like pet snakes and am not afraid of most of them, you never know how someone treats their pets. And especially one as temperamental as a snake. Another downfall would be getting called out to someones farm to work on their cow. Generally, cows are rarely messed with while in the pasture and it makes them very difficult to be up close and personal with.
