I am married to the love-of-my-life. It seems as if we were married just yesterday, and yet at the same time, a lifetime ago. I would do every single day of it again. We have two children, a daughter-in-law, and grand-dogs. They are all our treasures! We have been a part of the LCA community for 18 years.
Among my favorite Bible verses, Psalm 91 stands out, especially verses 1-4 & 9-12: “Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust. Surely he will save you from the fowler’s snare and from the deadly pestilence. He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart…If you say, “The Lord is my refuge,” and you make the Most High your dwelling, no harm will overtake you, no disaster will come near your tent. For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways; they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone…”
I grew up in “Colorful Colorado.” After receiving my BA in elementary education, I taught first grade in Wisconsin. I never imagined that my compass would point me south to the “Friendship State” of Texas where I have taught 3rd, 5th, and 6th grade.
Growing up in Colorado, I fell in love with nature and the mountains. My dad ran an outfitting business. We “packed” guests into the Rocky Mountains on horseback. It was basically a “mountain cruise.” Being surrounded by God’s splendor and glory on these trips will always be counted as some of my most fantastic adventures! Today, I love to hike with my family, especially when the hikes take us back to my beloved Rockies. I am a lover-of-books and cherish every minute I can weave myself amid the yarns of a great tale! My grandest love & hobby is my family…FAMILY-anything is my go-to! My goal is to focus on CHOOSING JOY!
Beyond a shadow of a doubt, the people & the firm foundation of FAITH & TRUTH that are laid for our students are two aspects of LCA that I hold dear. LCA has been a “home” to my family for many years. Both of my children have grown up walking through these halls, playing on these fields, and growing in faith & life-long relationships. My husband & I have treasured the families, teachers, & staff that have walked alongside of us while we raised our family. As a parent and teacher, I believe the common beliefs and goals of the families we have partnered with have enhanced life’s JOYS, as well as held us during the challenges. I know there is no such thing as a “perfect,” but in my opinion, LCA comes pretty close. We have been blessed to be a part of this unique community.
