About Me
Fun Facts about Van Walton
My favorite smell: The way the earth smells after it rains.
My favorite sound: The first notes of a grand symphony.
My favorite way to relax: Sitting anywhere outside - on my front porch, on my deck, or by the lake, early in the morning with my first cup of coffee.
My favorite birthday dessert: a Peach cobbler baked by my husband. He’s my fave chef!
I will not eat: Avocado. They turn my stomach into a volcano that never erupts.
Technology I couldn't live without and why: My laptop - it takes me anywhere I want to go.
One thing that makes me smile: My sons' faces!

Mission accomplished!
The reason I have been away from home? There are many- since I teach 10 months during the year, if I want to see family, I go for long periods of time in the summer.
My awesome and wonderfully fun loving mother celebrated her 88th birthday in June so I threw her a surprise party- in her own home. Two of her best friends helped me and we had 18 singing happy birthday to her.
During this time away from home my husband and I also visited his family.
The highlight of visiting family is the time I get to spend on the lake at my mother's home. Oh! I spent so much wonderful time- talking with God, being still, listening to him, and enjoying the works of His hands all around me.
Now I am refreshed and ready to get home.
Tomorrow- I walk through the doors to my house and begin to prepare for She Speaks. I am so excited about the second part of my summer.
Family visited- msision accomplished.
She Speaks- around the corner!
Shine!

You are the loveliest daughter, mother and wife I've met!
You inspire me in every way!
I pray grandma is doing well, and I'm really sure she loved the surprise!
I can't wait for the second half of your summer!! Not only because of the She Speaks, but because of the days I'm gonna spend with you!
I love you!
