-Tell us a little bit about yourself: I was born in Tokyo, Japan in the car enroute to the hospital.  I spent most of my childhood in foreign countries due to my Dad’s job. We lived in Japan, Canada, and Belgium and I loved every minute of it. I graduated from Brigham Young University with a degree in Dietetics. Here are some things I love in no particular order—black and white movies, classical literature, critical analysis of classical literature, vegetable gardens, pretending to practice the piano, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, crusty bread with honey butter, fall weather and fall fashion, people, and my wonderful family.  Nate and I have two girls, Ada, who will be three shortly, and Lydia, who is ten months old.

*If you could go anywhere in the world where would it be?

Right now it’s a toss up between England and Boston. I love American History and would like to actually see the places where much of it took place.  Most of my ancestors lived in England and I love so many British-based stores so I would love to see my ancestor’s homes and do some great shopping in the UK. 

*What is your favorite tv show?

This will reveal how truly old-fashioned I am. Nate and I both love the Donna Reed Show and The Dick Van Dyke Show.  Both originated in the late fifties/sixties and I adore them. 

*Best birthday memory?

When I turned 18 several of my friends surprised me by lining a tunnel that I walked through every day on our college campus with hundreds of pieces of paper—each with something kind that someone had written about me on it.  I was stunned by their forethought and felt very loved. I would recommend doing something like this for anyone you appreciate in your own life.
