I am a believer in Christ who is grateful for the life I have found in Him. I am also a loving & loyal wife, mother, daughter, sister, and friend. I have been married to Jeffrey for 10 years, and we have three wonderful, yet wacky, children. Ali is 9, Josh is 7, and Meghan is 5. I earned my degree in Elementary Education from Southern Illinois University at Carbondale, but I have yet to teach in the "real world." Thankfully I have three kids to torture with everything I learned. I enjoy reading, collecting cookbooks, scrapbooking, and spending time with friends and family. I also love to meet new people, so please leave me a comment. :-)
