Mary Zaccaria Johnson

Let me see if I can think past what we had for breakfast. I went to school, jet skied, drag raced, went to some more school, got a BA in Sports Medicine for Whitworth '87. Met the love of my life in '88. Went back to school and graduated with a BS in Physical Therapy '92. Work,got married '92, had Nathan '95, work part time, homeschool and have Jacob in 2001, move to Vancouver Washington, more work and homeschool. Move back to Spokane area in '04. Let's see, homeschool both kids and work as little as I can. Throughout all this my loving husband keeps on working and providing. We love the Lord and He has blessed us with our 2 children, the opportunity to raise them to love the Lord, and to be blessed with a great life.

Oh Yeah, I forgot I am a 4.5 year cancer survivor. I had ovarian cancer in 2006 and was healed with surgery and chemotherapy. I believe God allowed me to have cancer because since then I have had many friends or their families that I have been able to help through their health issues. My parents died in 2007 but I know we will see them again in Heaven with Jesus.

If you are still reading you will notice that I am out spoken about my relationship with Jesus Christ my Lord and Savior. He is the best thing ever and I would love to talk with each of you about Him. He doesn't come into your life and take away all the bad but He makes it so we here on earth can go through things with Him and it is all right. He has been with me and my family through all kinds of happy and not so happy times.

There are a few things that I fondly remember like: slipping on my crutches in the commons and having the Jocks score the fall.

I remember Mark Rypien holding up a fetal pig in anatomy class and chasing girls with it.

I remember the one and only day I wore a dress to high school. It was a dare.

I loved the hamburgers for lunch. Sorry if you didn't but yum.

I remember swimming class in a bikini sitting in the life guard chair thinking I was fat, now wishing I was so "fat".

I remember borrowing Kari Winters' brother Steve's Cordoba and driving around with her thinking we were cool smoking his cigarettes.

School plays were awesome. I thought it would be cool to be in one, but I was too shy to get up on stage. Now I speak in front of women's groups about Jesus and have less shyness.

I remember skipping MR. T. Kelly's English class the was 4th preiod to go to lunch with his son and a friend.

I went to 1 semester of college out of state then came home and worked my way through college.
