...and I'm a Hancock.

I just watched (too many) of the "I'm a Mormon" videos spotlights on Mormon.org. Of course I started thinking about what I could say about myself..

"I am a mother. I can kinda do a lot of things including acting and sewing. I am a displaced Idahoan and I am a Mormon."

I recognized, more so than that things I do in a little video clip to define me, the majority of what comes to mind comes from my family, that of which I am almost more proud of than being a Mormon.

For you who understand it (this is just the script, maybe one day I will make the movie version when I get my camera back fixed)....

My name is Nancy Hancock Button.

I live in Arizona but really wish I was home in Idaho. I love au gratin potatoes on Sunday. When I am concentrating I stick out my tounge.

I try and make toddlers sit still for 'religious instruction' every Monday night around 6pm.

I jog, sometimes regularly, but always habitually.

The only rolls I have ever made work, or really tried to make work are Grandma Ruby's rolls.

I garden. I can fruit in mass. I cook homemade meals and make my family eat yummy leftovers to clean out the fridge.

I call all my girls 'Sis.' My kids all have cubby cheeks and blue eyes that twinkle like dad's.

I don't think it is Christmas without snow and a picture on the stairs.

When I get upset I use a very logical tone and try to tell you that 'I'm not upset.'

I regularly attend the temple and never miss Church on Sunday unless someone is throwing up. I accept every calling that is given me and always pay a full tithe.

I play the piano, a couple of other instruments, and sing in the ward choir.

I catch myself saying "well no one really appreciates...'

I served a mission in Brazil and stuck it out. Whenever someone says "Sister Hancock" I still turn around.

I think family is the best part of life and would do anything, anything for them on any day.

Even though I married man that gave me his name, I am what I am because of who raised me. My name is Nancy, and I am still a Hancock.
