After High School I took some time off to have a little fun. I moved to San Francisco, CA for a couple of years, took in all the sites and fun that was offered out there. In 1994 I graduated from NDSCS with a degree in Graphic Arts. I landed a job in Thief River Falls at the local newspaper as a Graphic Designer and within a year was promoted to Advertising Sales. I am now the Advertising Sales Manager. Here in Thief River is where I met my husband and had 3 awesome kids.

My "free" time is consumed with youth hockey. My 10 year old daughter has been playing hockey since she was 5 and now my son is getting the fever. I had been very hopeful that our youngest daughter would be my girly girl but she too has already gotten the "hockey fever".

I have a lot of fond memories of school, I probably shouldn't post any of them, as most of them were things I wouldn't want my kids to do. HAHAHA If Julie (Ludwig) Dallmann reads this she will remember senior math class and taking turns going to the "girls room".
