Where are your three favorite places<br />
to eat in Clinton?<br />
Froghead Grill, The Bank, and 303 Jefferson.<br />
What are some fun things to do<br />
in Clinton on the weekends?<br />
We love Indian Lanes bowling alley and going<br />
to the brick street markets that are held every<br />
few months in Clinton that highlight local<br />
vendors and craftsmen. We also love the nature<br />
center and parks in Clinton.<br />
Share some things you enjoy doing<br />
in your spare time.<br />
My two boys keep us very busy and I love being<br />
involved in their activities with their theatre<br />
groups, homeschool groups and friends. Lee and<br />
I enjoy spending time with the boys when we<br />
all have some down time and watching movies<br />
or cooking. We also all enjoy playing games.<br />
What are three things on your bucket<br />
list?<br />
1. To take Luke and Charlie to a “real” concert.<br />
Neither have ever been to a real concert and<br />
want to go. Both of them love classic ‘80s and<br />
‘90s rock, so we have been looking for the<br />
perfect concert to go to.<br />
2. To have a successful garden in my backyard.<br />
We have tried some container gardens with<br />
small vegetables and herbs the last two years,<br />
but I want a real, in the ground garden and<br />
grow fruits and veggies.<br />
3. To go on a 10-day Disney Cruise. Our 4-day<br />
Disney cruise has been my family’s favorite<br />
vacation to date, but it wasn’t long enough!<br />
Who is someone you admire and why?<br />
My mom was the person I admired most on<br />
this earth. She was an amazing mom, wife,<br />
sister, daughter and her favorite was being a<br />
grandmother. She taught me so many things<br />
about life and how to live it to the fullest while<br />
honoring God in all you do. It has been almost<br />
10 years since she passed away unexpectedly,<br />
and I still think of something just about daily<br />
that I would love to share with her or ask her.<br />
Where do you see yourself ten years<br />
from now?<br />
Probably still in Clinton, I don’t think we will<br />
leave unless one of our boys, someday, buys us a<br />
house on the beach! That would be one reason<br />
we would consider leaving our home in Clinton!<br />
My sister and I have always dreamed of one day<br />
having a party planning business, so if we ever<br />
had the opportunity to do that, I think we<br />
would love to do it. I will still be supporting<br />
Lee and Luke and Charlie in whatever they are<br />
doing. I will always be their biggest cheerleader<br />
and prayer warrior in all that they do.<br />
What is your favorite childhood memory?<br />
My favorite childhood memories are trips<br />
with my mom, siblings, aunt, and cousins to my<br />
grandmother’s house on the beach. We lived on<br />
Otter Pops and stayed on the beach building<br />
sandcastles and searching for “butterfly” shells<br />
and sand dollars for hours! We would also go to<br />
the library there and rent old musicals and<br />
watch them over and over. That is where my<br />
love for musicals began that I have passed on<br />
to my boys.<br />
If you could give us one encouraging<br />
quote, what would it be?<br />
Not a quote but my favorite Bible verse is<br />
Exodus 14:14 – “The Lord will fight for you,<br />
you need only to be still.”<br />
What is your favorite thing about<br />
Hometown Magazines?<br />
I love that they highlight local families and<br />
businesses that many people might not know<br />
anything about until seeing them in the<br />
magazine.<br />
