Interrogation Station #3

Allow me to introduce...

Veronica, my sister-in-law. Pretty, funny, smart, and a great mom to Lily.

(I like how 99.9 % of this picture is brown)

1) Any nicknames?

Yep. Most of my family calls me Vern or Vernie.

2) 3 things you want to do in your lifetime?

Tough one… I would like to live in another state with my family - probably won’t be able to take them all with me though. I will continue allowing God to work in my life - I’m under construction you know. I guess I would also like to be brave enough to have another child someday.

3) What’s your favorite memory of your little brother? (Jess, of course)

There are several that come to mind. We used to play this game we made up where I would lie on my back with my feet up and Jess would lean his armpits on my feet. I would launch him onto the couch. The funny part about this game is before he launched, he would pretend to strap his arms onto my feet and would say “bug on”. It was so cool because we thought that was a line from one of the Back to the Future movies. Ok, maybe you had to be there, but Jess knows it was hilarious. We also used to play a strange game entitled “Sisters” while brushing our teeth. Uh, don’t ask. Which leads me to the time I made Jess play dress up with me. As I recall he wore a white fur coat, accessories, and a hat of the Kentucky Derby persuasion.

4) What is your best quality?

??? I’m going to let Jess answer that one.


Jess and I both immediately thought of the same one, and that is that she is "thoughtful". Jess has kept some very nice cards she's given to him, like when he went to college, and when we found out I was pregnant. Also, she often brings me my favorite Starbucks drink, a pumpkin spice latte. Mmm. When we first moved home to Kingman, she was waiting for us when we arrived late at night, to help Jess move our heavier furniture inside, since I was pregnant with Paige. Then, when I was pregnant with Cason, I had a little bit of morning sickness in the beginning. Veronica showed up most days with meals and drinks for me, that she knew would be easy for me to keep down. She also brought Lily over a lot to play with Paige, while I wasn't feeling well enough to play much, and she watched the girls so I could nap, or just lie down or whatever I needed. She did ALL of those things without us ever having to ask. She's very thoughtful and caring.

5) What’s your worst?

I am very impatient and get angry easily. I’m working on it though.

6) Dog or cat? Why?

Cat all the way. I love that they cuddle and are soft and fuzzy. My cat Rudy sleeps with me every night. He’s super smart and likes to play fetch. Dogs are not my cup of tea. They are dirty and stinky and jump and slobber on you.

7) What’s something most people don’t know about you?

I got to do an internship at a Hollywood production management company where they had me read movie scripts and tell them what I thought about them. One script I read actually became a movie - Final Destination 2.

8) Name a talent you possess.

I am actually quite good at singing, but I don’t sing in front of anyone except my husband and daughter. No, I’m not one of those people who think they can sing and go on American Idol to make fools of themselves. I really can sing.

9) What’s your favorite memory?

Can’t really think of one in particular. I enjoy all of my memories of family time. I guess you could say giving birth to my daughter was a pretty amazing memory. Not a fun one, but awesome in the end.

10) If you had a day to do whatever you wanted, (with someone babysitting for you), what would you do?

At this point in time, I would really just like to sleep in. I would relax and read. I would like to go out to a nice dinner and then enjoy sitting in a hot tub.

11) If you could move anywhere, where would you go?

I would definitely like to try Washington or Oregon. I don’t like the hot summers and the boring cloudless weather of Kingman. You see, I have reverse seasonal affect disorder (self diagnosed). I like what most say is gloomy weather. It makes me happy.


12) On a scale from 1-10, with 1 being the worst thing ever, and 10 being mind-blowing(in a good way), how would you rate having us as family?

LOL Well considering Jess is about the best dang brother anyone could have. I say 10+ It also helps that he has the best wife and kids around too. And I might add that I predicted the Jacobs/Bradley marriage some months before a proposal.


Thank you Veronica, even I have learned a COUPLE things I didn't know about you before.
