Day 3: Mum and Dad

World, Meet My Mummy and Daddy...

This picture of them was from the mid-1980's. Aren't they adorable??? They were married on November 22, 1985 in the Salt Lake LDS Temple.


Mum and Dad are the parents of six crazy children. They sure are brave...
They like to take to the Anchorage Temple. And go on road trips.

They also like to do outdoorsy things with the family such as hunting, fishing, camping, chopping wood, picking berries, gardening, and riding fourwheelers and snow machines.

They like to take us kids on fun outings to tourists attractions, Alaskaland/Pioneer Park, museums, etc. They encourage us to learn many things.

My mum's name is Kellie Anne (Price) Lathrop. Her birthday is July 15 but I won't disclose her age. She comes from a family of 13 kids. She is a stay-at home mom, which keeps her pretty busy. She loves children, animals (especially dogs and bears), reading, being outdoors, music, and spending time with her family. She is an awesome cook, teacher, counselor, housekeeper, entertainer, chauffeur, among many other jobs that come with being a mom. She is amazing. She's taught me so much.


My dad's name is William Richard Lathrop III. His birthday is March 27, and he is "over the hill." He works at a power plant. He enjoys outdoorsy "guy stuff," such as hunting and fishing. He is good with technology and figuring stuff out. He has a goofy sense of humor and loves torturing our dog. My dad is rad. He's also taught me so much.

My parents are amazing people. They helped me become who I am today.

Days 1 & 2

I'm not sure if I'll have time to get on tomorrow, so I'll do days 1 & 2 right now. Bwahaha I'll be weird and start with Day 2: Your first love.

I'd have to say mi familia is my first love, but I'll be talking about them in another post. So I'll talk about another great love of mine: I love books. Church books, children's books, biographies, and of course the classics. I love to read historical fiction, especially about World War Two. I even like to be a nerd and re-read TEXTBOOKS!!! Please don't judge.
I'm the kind of girl that used to keep a book and a flashlight under my pillow so that I could read late into the night without my parents finding out or keeping my siblings up. Now I have my own room so I don't have to worry about that. I can read to my heart's content. Yep, that's me: the bookworm.

And now Day numero Uno: Introductions!

Hi! I'm Tabitha Kay Lathrop, but my friends and family call me a variety of nicknames, including but not limited to: Tabby, Tabby Cat, Kitty, Tibbers (short for Tibber Tabbers Jibber Jabbers), Strawberry Muffin, and Twin. My birthday is October 18, but I'll let you guess my age. It may even be higher than you're thinking.
I grew up in Fairbanks and North Pole, Alaska. I have 2 brothers, 3 sisters, a dog, a cat, and mom and dad, but you'll get to hear all about them later. I'm Alaskan-grown and love it! I love to fish and go moose hunting. I love camping, hiking, being outdoors, as well as riding four-wheelers and snow machines (some people refer to these magnificent pieces of machinery as snowmobiles.
I love children. I have about a semester left of my Early childhood education Associates when I get back from my mission. I work at a daycare with young toddlers. They are funny. They crack me up and teach me so much.
I love photography. I fail miserably at drawing, so photography gives me a chance to express myself. I love nature photos. I also love to do photoshoots with the sibs. Maybe someday I'll have a little business I do on the side.
I love reading, but I already talked about that. I love to write poetry, though I haven't written much in awhile. I play flute and violin. I dabble in piano and lap harp. I hope to be able to learn guitar someday. I love to sing and dance (although I usually prefer to dance in the safety of my home, mainly for the sake of those who would otherwise be forced to witness my pathetic display).
And that's basically me in a nutshell.... You'll have to read my other posts to find out more......

I hope they call me on a mission...

My papers are in. The wait begins! Holy Cow I'm super excited! In a few weeks I'll find out where I'm going. Today two guys that I've known for a long time got their mission calls: Elder John Altig to the Phillipines and Elder Mitchell Price to Montana. It seems like a lot of people from my stake have been called stateside or to Brazil lately. It'll be fun to see if I'll be going where everyone else is going or somewhere completely random, like Australia (my number-one vote!!!) or somewhere in Europe.
My guesses are as follows, listed by continent/area lol:
North America- NYC, Boston, Washington DC, Halifax Canada
South America: Rio De Janeiro Brazil, Argentina, Peru
Europe: Berlin Germany, Kiev Ukraine, Switzerland
Asia: Russia, Thailand, Japan
Pacific Islands/Australia: Adelaide or Brisbane Australia, Phillipines, Samoa


Feel free to submit any of your guesses. I guess we'll know in a couple weeks :D
