Christmas Speech

Intro Speech

Who is Lauren Williams?

Here I am!

I love to scrapbook!

I recently started gardening (this is not my garden, though I wish it was!)

I love music, like most people, but rock is my favorite.

I love animals, and have 5 cats (not my cat, but isn't he adorable?!)

Boston Terriers are my fave, and I have two of my own.

I love ALL food! =D
