Spotlight

I love to read all of your spotlights, but am finding it very hard to talk about myself!! But here it goes...



I was born and raised in Sacramento California, and am the oldest of 3 kids. I have one sister and one brother. I had a pretty normal childhood, and we only moved twice. The first time I was to young to remember and the second time in high school, we moved about 5 miles away. My parents still live in that house today.

I graduated from high school in 1992 and went to Ricks college that fall for 2 years. After I graduated I wasn't sure what I wanted to do or where I wanted to continue my education. So I ended up back in Sacramento where I met Bob!!



After coming back home I enrolled at enrolled at Sacramento State. I got involved with the local institute program and a chapter of the church sponsored sorority. It was through this group I met Bob in a round about way.

The first few weeks of that summer he was still at BYU during a summer session. I was interested in a friend of his, well that went no where.(thank goodness!) After he came home he joined our large group that did everything together. We all worked full time, and did things together every evening.Those were the day, staying out to 2or 3 and then being to work or school by 7 or 8!!!!
After a few weeks,and a few bad dates I a wrote in my journal, why can't I find someone like Bob or one of the other guys we hang out with. And well the rest is as they say history. We got engaged at the end of summer and got married in the Oakland Temple on December 30, 1994.



We lived in Provo, Utah for 9 months while Bob finished up his engineering degree,I worked part time for the first 4 months at a really awful preschool. It was so bad that I quit and the last few months we lived like really poor college students. We spent our days playing and watching the OJ Simpson trial,and I played homemaker at night while Bob worked.

In Septmeber of 1995 we moved here to Arizona when Bob was hired by Intel. We live in Mesa for a year before buying our first home in Gilbert. We moved here to San Tan Ranch(our second home) in October of 2002.

We have 3 awsome boys now. Brandon is 11 1/2, Zachary is 9 1/2 and Ethan is 5. Number four a GIRL is due in about 4 weeks. We are so excited, we can't wait.



I love to read, if I have any down time you will probably find me with a book. If you have any recommendations bring it on. I am always looking for new things to read.

I love to cook, but hate to bake. I know it doesn't make much sense, but I don't like to measure,and to bake you have to be so precise. I love to try new recipes on my family. Recently I haven't been much of a cook either, but I am hoping after the baby I will enjoy cooking and food again.

I love to go out to eat!!!! My one craving this pregnancy has been sushi and Japanese food. I will eat about anything(once).

Things I don't enjoy- cleaning bathrooms,public speaking and being up front of a large group,folding sock, and kids who whine!!!

This is the most current family picture we have. It is at the top of the list after the baby.



Next time lets hear from ...... Katrina Webb!!!!
