Comments:

In 1992 I was married to Ryan. We have three beautiful, well-rounded children who are the center of our life. . Aside of my current educational aspirations I have enjoyed singing/writing music with my sisters, however as parents, Ryan and I believe our most successful job/hobby to date has been raising our children. I finished my degree in Human Service/Management and started Doctorate school to beome an industrial/organizational psychologist in Feb. 2010. I have been the Executive Director for Legacy Pregnancy Resource Center since August 2009. I was the Chairperson for the board for six months prior to my new position. Very rewarding work!

School Story:

Any memory I have with Jennie is great and I continue to treasure our frienship. When I actually think of a story, I will post it!

Where else have you lived?

Only Sheridan!

What's your favorite vacation?

The road trip we took as a family a few years back to the "Mall of America", and homestead of Little House on the Praire. Up to this point we had always flown to our vacations and when we offered the list of possible destinations this was their choice and it really was a blast!

New York

What is the hardest thing you have ever done?

Supporting Jennie through Christy's illness.

What's the oddest thing you have ever done?

I guess now I would say, taking a huge leap of faith by quitting a job I knew inside and out after 16 years. Giving up a good paycheck, benefits, lots of vacation days, all the things I worked so hard to achieve, but couldn't stay on principle alone. To know me and how controlling/ritualistic I can be, this was out of the ordinary yet the right decision for the right reasons!
