Apryl Christine Johnson

Our family spotlight for this week is Apryl Christine Johnson. She is the beautiful daughter of Randy and Janna Johnson. She was born February 14, 1979 and is the third grandchild born to Grandma and Grandpa Johnson. When I asked her about some of her favorite memories of Grandma and Grandpa's house she said, "I would say some of my fondest memories would be at Christmas time when all of the cousins would dress up and put on a play of the night Jesus was born in the basement, I also enjoyed when my cousins and I would gather in the basement to watch a movie on the big tv down there. Or trick or treating for halloween in their neighborhood." Currently, her favorite color is bright fuscia pink. She loves to shop, especially for shoes. She also is a talented photographer - check out her photos on facebook. Apryl is artistic - she likes to draw, paint, make cards and jewelry and any other crafty type things. She loves to go to Catalina Island - she has gone there lots of times on vacation and she says it is so beautiful and peaceful there that she wishes she could live there. She also enjoys a good bonfire with friends and likes camping on the beach. One of Apryl's favorite foods is salmon sashimi - that's right folks, raw salmon! Apryl says, "Being out here in California we have so many influences from so many cultures. There are sushi restaruants everywhere! I am also a sucker for a chicken quesadilla with avacado. "

So, what is Apryl currently up to? Well, she and her best friend Scott founded a theatre company called Apricott Productions about 11 years ago. They have put on a few plays and are hoping to put on one of Scott's favorite pieces in the near future. Apryl also worked for many years in the mortgage industry before the economy took it's turn. She loves spending time with her friends and family and working on her crafty projects.

Apryl says, "Although my family moved to California when I was just 8, I still have some great memories and still have a strong bond with those we left in the snow. I wish we could have stayed in touch better and I am so sorry that we just now started to make the effort, we really have missed so much in each others lives. But if anything, the passing of our beloved Michelle have done, it has brought us all closer, and has taught us all not to take each other for granted. We might not be here tomorrow, so let's share today."

Thanks for being our spotlight this week Apryl! We are glad you are in our family!
