I Try To Not Be Too Hard

Growing Up, I Watched Softball And U.s.a .softball, And That Was My Goal Of Being Able To Represent My Country And Wear The Red, White, And Blue Out There, And I Think It Is One Of The Highest Honors To Be Able To Go Out There And Compete For Your Country, And It Was Something So Very Special, And It Was Everything I Dreamt Of And More.

A Miracle Is Really The Only Way To Describe Motherhood And Giving Birth. It's Unbelievable How God Has Made Us Women And Babies To Endure And Be Able To Do So Much. A Miracle, Indeed. Such An Incredible Blessing.

For Softball, We Need The Olympics. For Young Girls Dreaming Of That Olympic Dream, That's Where It's At, And That's Where It All Started In '96 For Our Sport.

My Parents Were Born And Raised In Iowa And My Two Brothers Were Born In Iowa Before My Family Moved To California Where I Was Born So I Still Really Feel Like I Have Those Midwestern Roots.
