We actually started planting shrubbery and trees before the foundation to our home was dug. People thought we were crazy and asked if we were putting in a park.

We would bring home about 100 bushes at a time, then realize we still needed more.

I thought we were a little flat. I don't know what energy I thought we'd get playing at home, but it wasn't there.

I was kind of a frustrated cook. Being at home with the kids I wasn't working so I thought what if I enter a contest and win $50,000? Wouldn't that be cool. So I just tried it.

I know the population. It is coming home. I just thought that it would be a good fit.

That hits close to home because we'll be there. We'll definitely feel that sense, probably say a prayer and give everything we can to make that situation a little better.
