Our Mom in the Spotlight for the week of September 11th - October 17th is: Date of birth: August 16, 1959 Number of children: 2 living and 3 in heaven (2 miscarriges, 1 eptopic) Names and
ages of children: Amanda
Marie age 5 Elizabeth Anne age 3 Where you live now: Glendale, Arizona Where you are from: Born in Sumpter, South Carolina. But my father was in the Air Force for 23 years so we moved every 18 months to 2 years. I am really from "everywhere", but spent the most stable time in Denver Colorado where my grandparents lived. Where you
would like to live: I
love California, we spent about 3 weeks around the Orange
County area last summer, and I just fell in love with the
weather and the beach. But, my family is here in
Arizona, so here is where I will probably stay :-). Hobbies: Sticker Art (especially Mrs. Grossmans), I do most all my gifts and cards with sticker art. Scrapbooking, but I have not gotten far because I do not have time .....someday, sigh. Sewing, I used to sew alot, but then again, someday, I can do it some more. Reading, I love, love, love to read! I love to read about whats going on around my community. (Someday I hope to help with the school board, or city council) Favorite flower: Roses, Carnations, Asters, Daisy's Favorite color: Pink, Magenta, Favorite food: Lobster Favorite place: My home, California Favorite actor/actress: Mel Gibson - I really like that he is a practicing Catholic with lots of kids, and uses NFP, is totally against abortions, and is not afraid to say so in public. Favorite movie/s: Since I have not seen many lately I will have to say the last favorite I have had was Apollo 13, it keep me interested the whole time. We also saw Mulan, and I really like it, alot. I do have Titanic I am going to watch some day. I also enjoy all my girls movies, especially the CCC and the Francesco ones, we have most of them and both my husband and I enjoy them :-). Favorite singer/s: Bob Seager, and some others but I cannot think of the names! Favorite song: Cherish (its my husband and my favorate). Favorite television show/s: Darma and Greg (I know its probably not a great show as far a morals go, but it really makes me laugh), Majic School bus, Arthur. I really do not get much of a chance to watch much regular TV, most of the time we only let our girls watch PBS and some tapes, so thats what I watch. Favorite author: Dr. Sears Favorite book/s: Child rasing Books, Why do Catholics do that. Favorite Saint/s: St. Anthony, he has helped me an unbelievable amount of times. Because of him I have started to study the lives of other Saints also. Person/s I admire most: Fr. Mario Lopez. He helped me through RCIA, he validated our mariage, he babtized my first daughter (with the most sincere and moving ceremony). He has heard many, many of my confessions, and truley help me to be absolved of many of my sins. Fr. Mario is very dedicated to our Lord and has made a profound impact on my life. We even named Amanda's middle name after him (sort-of, her name is Marie, Mario just did not sound right for a girl, but they are both forms of Mary) Favorite quote or Scripture Verse: Give thanks for all things always.
Here is a gift for our mom in the spotlight. †May our
Lord let His face shine upon you.†
