I’ve always loved watching people. Put me in an airport, an amusement park, the beach, or heaven forbid, a long line at the Department of Motor Vehicles, I find the human species immensely fascinating, but as much fun as I have observing complete strangers, nothing comes close to what I’ve been privileged to experience beholding my own family. My Kevin, a rare and exceptional man who keeps the real happenings of a moment, a day, a span, our marriage and my life worthy of some chuckles, a few standing ovations and an endless prayer of gratitude. Together we’ve raised five children, added three daughter in laws and as of this writing, tally five grands. Everything that makes up the sum of who we are and how we’ve become can only be explained in one word - God. Through His might, authority, humor and grace, I’m now taking on the adventure of sharing my story - Jesus and me. As your sister, my hope is you find connection. As His child, I pray God is glorified. Enjoy!
Much of my life has been observing and listening to people’s stories. I’m remembering that some from my five sons were likely altered or even omitted for their self preservation. Many in my professional life have involved joy, trauma, and sorrow. All stories have allowed me to see nuggets of wisdom, inspiration, and gratitude. I married an extraordinary man - my Stan - that I partner with to shoulder and share life’s highs and lows. Our blended family of seven adult children also includes spouses, grandkids and a menagerie of critters. Our stories bind us together and help us navigate the path of life. There’s a lot I’ve yet to learn, but this I know - I am deeply loved by The Creator of the universe. You are too! I like all things chocolate, working out, and time with family. An added bonus is the circle that forms with neighbors in the evenings on the driveway under the stars.
