Happy Birthday Erica Lambert!!


Name: Erica LambertStudent’s Name: Reed LambertStudent’s Graduation Year: 2016Your Birthday: 02-18-87Blog: reedericalambert.blogspot.com
-Tell us a little bit about yourself:I was born in North Dakota, but have also lived in Montana, Nebraska, Idaho and now Missouri! I am an elementary school teacher & reading specialist. Currently, I am at home with my 1 1/2 year old daughter, Elliana.  I plan to stay home for a few years, but look forward to getting back in the classroom!  I am trying to remember to enjoy the journey as we continue on the road through medical school!
*How did you and your significant other meet? I graduated from a very small school. Because the schools are so small, it isn't uncommon to have a prom date from another town. During my high school years, I went to 6 proms. I went to a prom in the town Reed is from and became best friends with his sister. She is older than me, and when she left for college, Reed and I began dating! 
*What was the best job you ever had?   Before Reed and I moved to Kirskville, I was a Junior Varsity girls' basketball coach.  I was only 21 when I started, so although the age difference was very small between me and my oldest players (18) I absolutely LOVED those young ladies. I would have definitely done it for free. Besides my family and friends, coaching was the hardest thing to leave behind! I could cry just thinking about it.
*What is your favorite season and why? I love love love the spring.  In North Dakota, where I am from, it's not uncommon for the temperature to stay below zero for weeks at a time in the winter. We generally have endless frost bite warnings, and the wind chill can easily get to 50 below!  When the temperature starts to rise in the spring it's awesome! I'm usually in shorts and sandals by 40 degrees!
*When was the last time you cried? When do I not cry? I probably cry at least once a week, if not more. I cry about everything. I cry when I'm mad, sad or happy. I cry at movies, commercials, and especially when Elliana does something cute! If you haven't seen me cry, you will.
