I graduated from High School in 1979 and attended the local community college to earn an AA degree in Early Childhood Education. 

In 1986 I met and married my husband Charles.  We have four children -- Mark, Heather, Eric, and Rachel -- who range in age from 11 to 21.  Daily they continue to challenge and inspire us. 

I lead a fairly uneventful life . . . I am a stay-at-home mom and I enjoy reading, playing the piano and writing poetry.  I like being around people of all ages, shapes and sizes; playing games; chatting with my friends; and shopping for a great bargain. 

Though I've had my share of trials in life, life is good and I am very happy.  I'm grateful for the love of my Savior, Jesus Christ, and I have a firm testimony of His gospel here upon the earth.  I am eager to share and serve and bless the lives of others as He has blessed mine.  May you also feel His love as you ponder my "Lessons From Heaven."
