Madelyn, Laura, and Oscar Bersoza
What do you enjoy most about being a Mom?
I think the best thing was the instant love I felt when Madelyn was born. I have never experienced that kind of love. The love for your child is so intense. Of course I love my husband, but its a different kind of feeling and love. I also love making Madelyn laugh and seeing her happy!
Where did your husband propose?
We took a trip over Christmas break to Riudoso, New Mexico with another couple to go snow skiing. On Christmas Eve, Oscar and I were sitting by the fire and he proposed. He had been asking me some serious questions all night, so I was starting to get suspicious. The other couple got engaged too! We will be married 6 years in July.
What are your secret snacks?
Chocolate, Chocolate, and Chocolate!
What is your fondest memory of your grandmother?
My memaw was very loving. I always liked to sit on her lap and rock, even up to a few years ago before she passed away. She was the best cook! She always had lots of food and desserts! She made the best chocolate pie-my favorite
What is your most memorable family vacation?
When I was in 8th grade we went on our first cruise to the Bahamas. It was for my sisters graduation present from high school. Well first we went right after school was out in May and there were lots of kids that just turned 18 that were there to party. Some were our neighbors and they were loud all hours of the night.
My sister and I were at that stage where we fought alot and I wanted to do everything like her. We got into this huge fight one day b/c she was wearing a hat and I wanted to wear one too. It was so dramatic! Also, while we were docked at the Bahamas, my dad was exploring the town and all of a sudden this women comes out of an alley and pulls out her breast b/c she was a prostitute. My dad ran away as fast as he could! We still tease him about it. It was a really fun trip overall!
Best piece of parenting advice you have received?
My mom always tells me: This too shall pass! Short, but sweet!
What is your favorite home cooked meal?
My moms homemade chicken fried steak with mashed potatoes and gravy-yum!
When do you sense being most alive?
When I have consistently had my quiet time with the Lord and been in prayer. It makes such a huge difference!
