I'm Not The Perfect Bride

I'm Aware That Not All Kids Can Pick Up And Fly To Panama. I'm Very Lucky.

I'm Sure There Were Times When I Wish I Had Thought, 'gosh, That Might Really Embarrass Mom And Dad,' But Our Parents Didn't Raise Us To Think About Them. They're Very Selfless And They Wanted Us To Have As Normal Of A College Life As Possible. So Really, We Didn't Think Of Any Repercussions.

I Had Always Loved To Write And My Mom Was My Editor For My School Papers.

As I've Gotten Older, My Mannerisms Are More And More Like My Mom's. Also, She Was An Educator - She's Extremely Passionate About Education And Children. I Guess I Inherited That In Some Way.

[my Mom] Had Always Wanted To Write A Children's Book. She Was A Children's Librarian And An Elementary School Teacher, So Of Course She Loves Children And Children's Literature.
