Getting to know me...getting to know all about me...

Okay, so the title of this post is a throw-back to the musical "The King and I" and also a good beginning to a little self-introduction to all my readers (the Young Women) since I'm still kind of new in the ward. I love music. I don't play an instrument, but I like to sing. When I was a young women, I would participate in the stake and school musicals that were performed where I grew up. I also studied voice in college and got a BA in music. So, yeah, I really like music, and will probably ask you all to be in ward choir a hundred times, or until you say yes, whichever comes first. I grew up a member of the Church, but my parents were converts. I have 2 brothers, 3 sisters and a half-sister and brother. So there is a total of 8 kids. I am 3rd to the youngest. Besides music, I love to read. I'll read pretty much anything as long as it isn't too mushy or vulgar. I am trying to read all the classics I either missed or took for granted in High School and most recently re-read Wuthering Heights. In Fiji, I used to paddle on a 6-man outrigger canoe, and pretty much just having a good-time with my family and friends. I like to travel and have been too a few places, and hope to travel to more in my lifetime. My husband and I hope to someday serve a mission together. I have two kids, Jada who is 5 and a half and Gabe who will be 1 in November. So now you know a little about me, and I hope that I will be able to get to know each of you as well. Your humble servant, Sister L.
