I grew up in Oklahoma where I got involved in running track and cross country with friends. I loved the challenge of a long race and the accomplishment of beating my goal time. Running is my favorite hobby because of the sense of freedom and strength that I feel during a run. I ran all through high school and my freshman year of college. Now I run for leisure, though occasionally I have to sprint at the end of a 5K race just so an old man doesn't beat me.
On my mission in Brazil, I gained a huge desire and passion for learning. I thought that if I could learn a language then I can learn anything. I studied the gospel principles deeply and applied them to people I worked with. In school at Utah State University I found the study of human communication very intriguing. I read a lot of books on communication behavior and have found it useful in every day life. I was able to teach a lab for the Public Speaking class which I loved!
One thing that drives me is progression or always improving so that you can look back and see how far you've come. I love the challenge of going into a work project or a failing office and turn it around and being able to make a positive impact. The most important thing that I carry with me at my work is an easy going, positive attitude. During a high stress day at work, I just tell a few jokes, get some laughs and call it a day.
Missy about Brad
I like lists and I like Brad so I thought I'd combine the two:
Missy about Brad
I like lists and I like Brad so I thought I'd combine the two:
- -I love that Brad is so dedicated to our family. He works so hard for us. After I had graduated and he was still in school, he worked three jobs while going to school full time just so I could stay home with Abi.
- -I love that he always makes me feel pretty, even when I haven't showered in days.
- -I love how good he is with kids. The moment I realized I loved him was when he was playing with his little sister (she's 13 years younger than him). Every little kid he's ever met is drawn to him.
- -I love what a good dad his is to our little girl. He'll get down on the floor to play with her, dress up like a princess for her and make all sorts of humiliating voices and animal noises just to make her laugh.
- -I love how much he loves the church and the scriptures. His testimony is an example to me every day.
- -I love his desire for learning and bettering himself. He is very goal oriented and is not easily swayed from those goals.
- -I love that he makes me laugh. He is really funny and can be so silly sometimes.
- -I love how much he loves to run and push his body physically. I'm a huge wimp so I really admire his "mind over body" attitude.
- -I love that he loves chick flicks just as much as guy movies (his favorite movie is "You've Got Mail" - don't tell him I told you that).
- -I love how easy going he is and how he can calm people down. And I love his ability to get things done without stepping on toes or hurting feelings.
