Ten Sunshine Award Questions (and answers):

Favorite color: Pink, no question!  I have always, always loved that color!  That is the color I even choose for my bridesmaids dresses this past summer :)

Prefer Facebook or Twitter? I only have Facebook, so that's the one prefer. 

My passion: It has to be teaching.   I love being able to help students out and seeing "the light bulb click".  It can be a challenging job, but it is soo rewarding:)

Prefer getting or giving presents: Giving.

Favorite pattern: Ummm...not really for sure.  It used to be damask, but I don't know what it is now!
