We've decided to try something new: Sister Spotlights. Each month we will be sending out emails with a small questionnaire attached with a request to have them filled out and returned. We will then showcase that Sister in the newsletter, and with her permission, here on the blog. So please keep your eyes open for that special email from us, and please feel free to attach a picture. :) We want to thank you in advance for participating and helping making our newsletter fun and exciting!
This month we will be showcasing Sis. Budenbender! Thanks, Shannah! :)

Birthday: March 1
Birthday: March 1
Where are you from: Arlington, Texas
How did you meet your spouse: We met in college. While in ROTC I was also playing soccer; but missed about 3 weeks of ROTC in a row due to out of town games. Seeing as I wasn't there to defend myself, I was voted in to the worst position for Arnold Air Society. My first day back I was getting yelled at by a commander of this "extra curricular" ROTC event for not doing my "Job" that I had no clue about. I was blindsided and getting yelled at in front of everyone. Phil stuck up for me and tried to cover by volunteering the fact that I had not been there to know I had this job - she somehow made it his fault for not telling me (a girl he didn't know - the hour before the meeting). I followed him to his car trying not to cry and noticed a sticker "LDS" on his car. When I inquired if he was Mormon and got excited saying "I AM TOO!" .... he quizzed me..... "oh ya? Then name a book in the Book of Mormon". When I pronounced Moroni and said it correctly he believed me. Weird boy thinking I'd lie about being Mormon. haha
Tell us about your family: I am the oldest - It's a his/her/ours family. My youngest sibling is 9.
What is your favorite hymn: As Sisters in Zion (sung with the men doing Army of Heleman is soooo cool but even without that I enjoy the song) - and primary has to be A Childs Prayer
What is your favorite scripture: Hard to say right now: Philippians 4:13 , John 15:19 , Alma 26:27

What is your favorite treat: cookies, cake, smores, muffins, ice cream, butterfinger, reeses, oh I'm sorry am i still listing - basically anything that is NOT for allergy kids
Tell us any 3 things about yourself: 1. When I'm alone I love to crank the music up (to some girl approved pop music or old classic ie: don henley) way to loud and dance like I just don't care. ... And man I love it.
2. I forced myself to step back from politics 3 years ago because I get so heated/passionate about what was going on - I'd sit in the car and be late to class to finish listening to talk radio segments. I used to want to do politics, but ironically suck at/dislike "Playing politics" (being politically correct has NEVER been my strong suite - too blunt. aka no poker face!
3. I'm not good at decorating or gardening, but I can play just about any sport and love the home improvement stores.
