About Me

Daughter of the King

This is the most important role I play.  Saved by grace and trying to live it out on a daily basis.  I stumble, I fall but I keep going.  The joy that I have is undeniable.

Wife

We got married in our 30's after meeting online.  He only lived 45 minutes away!  He does the dishes for me every night and complains when I want to dirty up one more pot.  I, in return, bake him homemade chocolate chip cookies.  Endless amounts.  But then he gets to wash those dishes.  It's a never-ending cycle.

Mom

Some girls grow up just only wanting to be a mommy.  That was never me.  Now that I'm a mom I totally understand.  It's one of the best jobs I've ever been gifted with!

Working Professional

I have two accounting degrees and I still use them both.  Before I graduated from college I figured in five years I wouldn't be using my degree.  It's been over ten years and I'm still going strong.
