I am family oriented, coming from and having a large family of my own. My life is centered around the gospel of Jesus Christ and my family. We spend a lot of time together. We participate in plays, theater, Community Concerts, violin and piano lessons, music festival, 4-H, livestock, gardening, canning, traveling, camping, fishing, movie night in the livingroom with the "popcorn blanket" and the list goes on.

I run a small livestock operation. Also have an acre of raspberries that we sell to clients. Boy, does that keep you on your toes with the marketing!

I'm confident and value communication. Have learned how to scuba dive and been to the ocean 3 times to practice. Like to travel and enjoy my pioneer heritage. Went to Europe with my 2nd daughter in 2005 for 17 days. Loved Germany and Switzerland the best. The ruins of Italy were breathtaking. The castles were awesome!

I participated in a community play in Feb of 09. It was good to get me out of my comfort zone. Would you believe I even sang a number? Needless to say, it was scary to sing as I haven't done solo.

I have been through the refiner's fire. It has strengthened my testimony in God and the gospel. It has definately refined my personality.
