I blame and credit my brothers for my competitive fire within me. Growing up, I lost at everything! My brothers are quite a bit older - 10 years and 5 years - so it was a challenge, but I have some of the most amazing memories with my big brothers.

College softball each year reaches new levels of interest.

My goal is to never lose. That may not be realistic, but I'm going to try.

Have unconditional love to your children no matter what happens. Give them time even in the midst of this busy life - be one on one with them.

I loved being on the field playing and teaching softball. I didn't like the fact that a camp had my name on it and I didn't know the logistics of what was going on. I wanted to make sure I was involved in a camp that did things right.

Try not to get lost in comparing yourself to others. Discover your gifts and let them shine!

A miracle is really the only way to describe motherhood and giving birth. It's unbelievable how God has made us women and babies to endure and be able to do so much. A miracle, indeed. Such an incredible blessing.
