Blog Challenge - Day 1

Introduce, recent picture of myself and 15 interesting facts about Moi.

Hola, I'm Dedra. and I'm a Mormon. I've been married for almost 15 years to mi esposo, Ken. I'm a mom of 3 awesome kids, I work full time as a care giver for developmentally delayed adults, and I really like it. I'm the mom who enjoys being out of the house working and for the most part, I don't feel guilty about it. It makes me a better mom.

Recent Picture of myself: not the highest quality shot ever taken but I like it. It was taken 1-29-2012.

1. I hate cats.
2. I'm number 4 of 8 siblings, 1 of 4 girls, and my Dad's favorite.

4. People who chew their gum (and/or food) loudly make me physically nauseated and I gag and/or throw up.
