I am a Midwest transplant, originally from California, married to a strong and handsome guy who is Daddy to our seven children. Together we are doing the most challenging work of all: growing closer to our Heavenly Father, each other, and our children. Sure, it sounds easy, but after being married for 16 years I have found it to be the challenge of a lifetime. Between all of the outside commitments pulling us in different directions, the inside commitments to our very active family, and the daily friction that is inevitable in any family, it has to become a quest. That pretty much sums up my life, and it is a great privilege!
