1.Tell us why anyone would want come to your hometown?
You would want to come visit Fargo, North Dakota because of the beautiful nature scenery, the vast cultural representation and the amazing opportunities to join in community with others! Fargo has a way of getting people together for family friendly events, fundraising opportunities and community building activities that are sure to get you out of your house and around other people all year round!
2.What are the (2) most important things in your closet and why?
My two most important things in my closet are my Grandma’s Authentic Norwegian sweater and my childhood blanket. Those two items constantly remind me of where I come from, the comfort and joy of my childhood, and the heritage I am so proud of. My grandmother was my best advocate, my closest family member and my safety. Since her passing I’ve held her memories close and I’m grateful for the sweater that holds so many memories with it.
3.What do you love to cook and why?
I love to cook homemade lasagna because I can involve my kids in the process, and we all enjoy the final product! Nutrition and healthy cooking are so important in our family that we take any opportunity we can to cook and create together for dinners with family and friends. Building community is a big deal for us and we know a great way to do that is to have a meal with others!
4.If you had an extra hour each day, what would you do?
I would spend that time with my Bible and Jesus. In the hustle and bustle of life it becomes so easy to let go of things that matter to you and sometimes those are the things that matter most. My story includes mental health struggles and crisis that I firmly believe healing wouldn’t have ever been possible without Jesus and the knowledge that I was created on purpose. I would an opportunity to spend more time with Him and in His word to keep myself fulfilled, alive and thriving!
5.Describe the dirtiest job you have ever had to do?
I was so fortunate to be able to work alongside my husband at Texas Roadhouse in college before we began dating. I was SO grateful for him when we had to clean out the bar well; hands down the dirtiest job I’ve ever done; even worse than full on baby diaper blowouts on a road trip! We had to clean out all the slime, sludge and things that were accumulated over months. That meant digging slime and grime out of pipes, tubes and hoses and reassembling it all back! We did it, learned how to work together and even have a little fun while getting dirty!
