I was born in Jerome Idaho on a Dairy farm. My family owned about 60-80 cows and two family farms. My Dad and Grandpa farmed and dairied throughout my childhood. As a child I loved living in the country and spending my time outdoors riding horses, gardening and jogging around our farm. I also enjoyed cooking for the family in the summer time. My brother and I started working on the farm in early elementary; feeding calves and picking rock in the spring. As my grandfather aged we took over his job of milking the cows once a day. Usually we milked the cows in the evening after school and sports. Then we would make our way up to the house and eat a yummy dinner and do our homework and go to bed and start the day all over again. We were taught to work hard, play hard and we slept hard as well. My mom was a farm wife. She spent her time gardening, running errands for my dad and driving us to Christian School every day as well as picking us after all our school activities. I was the oldest of my siblings. I enjoyed my family and having siblings. We were all pretty close growing up and enjoyed being together. There are always those rivalries and issues, but as a whole we enjoyed togetherness. Our home was always open to family and friends traveling through or even a stranger who was stranded in town. My dad was a friend to everyone and taught us to be aware and notice the needs around us.

I enjoyed being around people, but always have struggled with my shy side. My husband and I have been married for 20 years. We have 4 children ranging from 19 years down to 6 years. My life is very busy and eventful. My husband is a full time realtor in Twin Falls Idaho. I assist him in our real estate business. I do all the Internet marketing of our listings and corresponding with our clients. I photograph all of our listings and other realtors listings as well. I market our listings in magazines and websites all over the nation. I also enjoy photographing nature and when we travel I spend a lot of time photographing the areas in which we visit. I make cards and framed prints. I sell them to customers and at Seasonal Open Houses and in Local Stores. I have recently started a blog connecting nature with everyday life experiences and spiritual insights. Attempting to encourage whomever reads my blogs or looks at my photographs. I love my family and am very committed to helping them succeed in their everyday life and future. I believe in God and daily search to know Him and love Him more. I find peace and joy in the world He created. It is so nice to look out the window or take a walk outdoors and see a beautiful cloud, flower or sunset and be reminded of His love for me. I can thank my mother for her consistent reminder of the beautiful world we live in and constantly telling us to look at the moon or look at the Nevada Mountains today or a Sunset or Rainbow, whatever posed itself to us at that moment. Life is Good and I strive to remind others of that fact.
