Guess Who?
I have been married for almost nine years to my handsome husband Jeremy. We met at the singles class here at Cypress Bible Church. Very unexpected! We have two children, Jasmine (almost 4 years old) and Seth (almost 2 years old) that are such blessings from the Lord. They melt my heart on a daily basis, but they also make me crazy too! :) This will be my fourth year at MOPS and third year on the steering team. I think this year will be the best one yet. Q-What is your favorite childhood game and/or childhood memory of playing games with your family. A- I enjoyed playing Sorry and Uno. Q When playing a game, is there a color piece that you will fight to get? A - No, I am too easy going for that. :) Q- What is your favorite thing about MOPS A- Meeting other moms that have the same job as me and learning different ways we all do things. Oh and the breakfast buffet is yummy too. :) Q-What is one of the things you like best about being a mommy? A- I love SO many things about being a mommy, but one of my favorite things is to hear them giggle uncontrollably. Such a pure and beautiful sound!

Erica has been married to Brian for 12 years and is a home schooling mother of 2 girls...a task which keeps her quite busy. In her free time, she loves to write, a passion which began as a little girl, and also loves to share stories with anyone willing to listen. Erica's blog, "Amazing Adventures Await," chronicles the journey God has blessed her with. She knows His plans are good and the adventures her family enjoys, result from living life to the fullest. Read more at http://www.amazingadventuresawait.com/ . http://www.amazingadventuresawait.com/. Last September, Erica's first book, "Those Silly Sisters: Swimming in the Rain," was published. Through the story, she hopes to encourage moms to be intentional with their children, while making lasting memories in the process.

Lets Get Together!

Having the best of intentions is a thing of the PAST! Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. Isaiah 43:18
