Comments:

Living in Colorado since March 2007 when my husband Seth retired from a 30 year Army career. We lived in GA, VA, AL, CA, MD (DC Area), Korea and Panama. I earned my AA in English from Wallace CC in 1990 before moving to Korea.
We adopted our two beautiful children as infants. We homeschooled for ten years.
I also worked doing various jobs including writing for a newspaper; being an innkeeper, manager/projectionist of an army post theater; developed photos in a mall; water aerobics instructor; and an English teacher to Korean soldiers. It has been a wonderful adventure!!
I have spent countless hours volunteering for our children's activites/sports, churches, communities and supporting my Army husband's career. I've had many opportunities in different ministry areas to grow spiritually.
I gave my life to Christ right before we graduated and really began to grow and get on fire as a Christian when I went to Panama in 1991.
While in California (2000-2004), I worked in Women's ministry and was part of a team that began a mentoring program but I was also heavily involved with homeschooling.
From 2004-2007, in Maryland, I worked at the movie Theater, homeschooled, ran a Homeschool suppport group for the Post and was a liason between the County and the Post for the Homeschoolers on the Post.
Seth retired, May 2007, and we moved to Colorado Springs, CO area and LOVE it.
The kids went to public school and I had to figure out what do with myself!
September 2007, I went to work at Pikes Peak Christian Church and I totally enjoy it. I work as a Connections Coordinator. It is a job that uses all my skills. I get to Chat - alot!! Who knew they would pay me to do what I do naturally! I help new people get plugged in and find their God given design. It is a joy to be a part of such an awesome team!
I have been completely in love and infatuated with my husband for 26 years. We met and married 5 months after we met. We will celebrate our 26th anniversary this November!
I am just learning how to Facebook. Not sure if that is a verb - but I will use it as one! hah
Our daughter, Gabrielle, graduatedwith her Cosmetology Certificate on August 1st. Our son, Seth, is a freshman this fall. Both kids have been very athletic. Sethie continues to play lots of sports. These days he is playing soccer. So, I spend a lot of time going to practices!
I think we are done moving, unless God has a different plan. So, if you are ever out in Colorado Springs please give us a call. God Bless!
