My full name is Breanne Laurel Quist. I am happily married to my husband Nick (married Sept. 6, 2009) and we have a daughter - Aliyah Laurel (born Sept. 15, 2011) - and we are also 6 weeks away from welcoming baby #2 into the world. Aliyah and I have the same middle name, as does my mom, it was something I wanted to pass down. With Nick's family the second born of the second born gets to have two middle names so when we have our next child, he or she will be the fourth generation of this tradition.
The picture that I have included is a picture from Aliyah's first birthday party. It is very rare that we are all in a picture together, ususally I am trying to hid behind the camera instead of being in front of it but I am glad we took these. We also took pictures of Aliyah with all of her grandparents and great grandparents; She was very lucky to be born with all 8 great grandparents still alive and well but unfortunatly my grandpa passed away when Aliyah was 7 months old.
I currently live in Nanaimo and I am teaching all subjects in grade 8 and 9 through Anchor Academy. I love my job because not only am I able to teach and do so while staying at home with our daughter, it is also a Christian school and as a Christian (since I was 5) this is a great fit for me!
In my spare time my husband and I host a lot of games nights (mostly because we are the only people who have kids that we play games with) and we cannot wait for Aliyah to be old enough to play games with - right now playing usually involves forts, duplo, play-doh and dolls. We also like to watch movies and the Big Bang Theory (the only show Nick will watch with me). We also take a lot of walks, mostly around our neighbourhood but also mini hikes in Nanaimo and Ladysmith. I am also currently persuing my Masters of Education at Vancouver Island University.
The pictures below are:
1. My mom, Aliyah, me and my grandma (my mom's mom)
2. Aliyah with all of her grandparents, greatgrandparents, aunts, uncles, Nick and myself (missing one set of aunts and uncles and her pregnant in the picture aunt now has a twin boy and girl)
3. A picture of my grandma and grandpa before my grandpa got sick (he passed away April 1, 2012). Growing up I spent a lot of time going to visit them whenever I had the chance and I still visit my grandma whenever I am in Ladysmith.
4. An ultrasound picture of baby #2
5. A picture of Aliyah and I on one of our many walks (this one is at the Nanaimo waterfront)
