: About Me

Growing up, we lived on a small farm. There were always adventures to be had! I was, and still am at times, a tomboy. I have one sister and one brother. My mother was diagnosed with multiple schlerosis (MS) about 20 years ago. If I were to pick one person that I respect and admire, it would be my mom.

I have many interests and tend to be a bit adventurous. I enjoy hiking, rock climbing, writing and spending time with family and friends. There are so many interesting things in this world to try and discover. It's a bit difficult to narrow down and state my interests when there are so many! My interests change almost daily. I recently discovered that I enjoy dirt track car races. We went to a track and I instantly liked it. I believe that you should always try new things. Not dangerous or immoral activities, but interesting and unusual things. A few examples: parasailing, new foods, traveling to a new area, rafting the rapids, skydiving. Activities that expand your mind and give you insight.

I am married with two children. We also have two dogs. Family is a very important part of our lives. I believe in being involved with your children. Answering those tough questions, the ones that make you cringe inwardly when they are asked, are a important part of forming a good, long-standing relationship with your child.

Holy Cow! Literally. My just completed flower bed was just smashed and eaten by a cow- and we lived in town! This huge walking, sometimes stampeding, behemoth of a beast crushed my daisies, tulips, irises and miscellaneous shrubs to smithereens. In my red lined vision, I was dreaming that this beast would be laid upon the grill for dinner. During the time that this steak on legs was making my flowers into dinner, I was trying to keep my three-year old from the same fate that my flowers had just suffered. After working for several weekends, the proof of our labor looked as if should be a co...
