Some of Celia's Favorite Things:
Reading is one of Celia's favorite ways to relax at the end of a stressful day. She enjoys to read
many different types of books, but particulary enjoys mysteries and thrillers. Her favorite authors include Dean Koontz,
Dan Brown, and Amy Tan. Her favorite book is Watchers by Dean Koontz. She can hardly wait to introduce
our child to the magic of books, and has saved most of her favorite books from childhood for story time.
Writing is another
of Celia's favorite hobbies. She enjoys writing short stories and hopes to one day write a novel. Writing
is a family trait shared with her father, her sister and her cousins. Because this creative outlet has brought so much
happiness to her life, Celia is really looking forward to teaching Shia about the fun of storytelling.
Celia loves to travel,
and is always dreaming of new destinations and adventures. One of her favorite trips was a week-long horseback riding
and camping adventure in the North Dakota Badlands with her sister Sarah. But even if the trip is only across town,
Celia is always up for seeing something new. She has already got many destinations picked out for family outings!
