Favorite childhood memory:  My favorite childhood memory was playing on our swing set we had in the back yard.  Every winter when it snowed, my sister and I would race out to the swing set to see who could get to the slide first.  For some reason, the slide seemed more fun when it was covered in snow. 

Something interesting about you or your family others may not know:  My mother works at a nursing home in my home town.  On holidays we all go to the socials they have to help the residents get their cake and punch and find a seat.  It’s fun because the residents are so nice and they always love to have people visit them.
