I was born and raised in the state of Kansas where my dad worked for the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks, and so I spent my entire childhood in the great outdoors! I have been married to my Pastor husband Jeff for over 27 years, and he and I have 3 grown children, 14 grandchildren and 2 great grands - they live in Texas, Missouri, and Montana. We also have a very smart and very stubborn 13 year old Siberian Husky named Jericho who is of course also our "child"!! Jeff and I love to travel and have been to 45 of the 50 states. We also love to fish, go four-wheeling and RV camp, go to all the new movies, as well as sing and play in our church praise and worship band. I have been in education for 24 years and counting... 🙂
