Shay & Winnie

Meet Winnie


I am a very active, sensitive, loyal and sincere individual.  I love to serve others and enjoy seeing tasks accomplished.  I love to create things. Decorating is a big hobby of mine, as well as doing different crafty types of things (such as sew, paint, etc.).  I have a very strong faith in Jesus Christ.  I am an elementary teacher by trade and have done very well in my vocation (2011-2012 I was selected as "Teacher of the Year" at my school).  I love teaching every age group and feel it is one of my greatest strengths.  I have often been asked to speak to junior high and high school age girls on a myriad of topics.  I have enjoyed this opportunity and love being around them.  Education is extremely important to both Shay and me. I am a very trusting person.  I enjoy meeting and talking with people and getting to know them.  Although most wouldn't know it, I am a bit shy at first and sometimes need a moment to "warm up" and feel comfortable and safe around others.
What Shay Loves About Winnie

Winnie truly cares about everyone.  She has a special ability to teach.  I am amazed at her talents as a teacher.  Winnie is more spontaneous and is more comfortable in a fast-paced environment than I am.  I have learned countless things through her example, most important of which is a stronger testimony in Jesus Christ through her example.  I have learned to be more considerate of the feelings of others as Winnie is always keenly aware of the feelings of everyone around her.



Winnie's Goals, Hobbies, & Interests

Goals:
My greatest goal, hope, and aspiration in this life is to return to my Father in Heaven.  I want to do all that He asks me to do and become what he wants me to become.  I am not perfect but I aspire to be. Second, I hope that when my life is over I can look back and say I did the very best that I could, I was the best spouse and mother I could be, and that I accomplished much good.  Third, I want Luke, and any other children that enters our home, to know they are special, cherished, valued, respected, and deeply loved!  Finally, I want to love, laugh, and enjoy each day of my life!

Hobbies:
I really enjoy expressing myself through decorating, art, design, sewing, quilting, music, etc.  I love to entertain and have family and friends over for parties, games, and various other activities.  I love to travel and see new place (I have lived in 3 countries and have been to 14). I also enjoy watching and playing all different kinds of sports.

Interests:
I have always been interested in people and the world.  I enjoy giving service and participating in various humanitarian efforts.  I love to read, watch movies, play games, and learn about anything and everything.
