In 16 years …
I graduated from Colorado Christian University.
We each earned a counseling certificate … and are hoping to continue that education.
We traveled to 4 countries together … and I to 4 others.
We traveled to 20 states.
We served on Staff with Campus Crusade for 6 years.
We were involved in church planting for 2 years.
We’ve had 4 beautiful kids!
We lived in Montana for 3 years – 1 in Bozeman, 2 in Kalispell.
We lived in Albuquerque, NM for 1 year, where Sawyer was born.
We lived in Washington for 2 years, where Liberty was born.
We have lived in Colorado 10 years, where Shiloh and Landon were born.
We have bought 4 homes, sold 3, and finished 2 basements.
We have never lived in the same house for more than 3 years, until this one.
We have only owned one pet, a dog named Murphy for 4 months, then because he started biting, he went back to his owners.
We started a non-profit.
… and that’s just the ones I can remember right now.
Since meeting Steve, I’ve gained new interests and new likes …
Baseball!
Football.
Writing.
Peanut butter on french toast.
Walking around quaint little towns.
U.S. history
Politics
