I am a CHRISTIAN. I am a WIFE. I am a MOM. And the more I serve in these three great capacities, the more I learn about myself. I am BLESSED!

I am a child of God, A wife, A mother of six children, A freelancer, A daughter, A grandaughter, An aunt, A niece, A cousin, A sister, A friend, A misunderstood person at times, A person who prefers peace over conflict but will confront injustice and try to resolve issues even if it means a little conflict to attain TRUE peace and not contrived peace, A flexible person, A truthful person, A person who actively pursues adventure, A forgiving person, A homeschool educator, A theologian, An avid reader and researcher, A professional Googler, A woman with PMS at times, A person who hopes to leave some lasting positive mark on this world, A person who cares more than most people know, A person who has learned not to be so concerned with what other people think as I am with being authentic.

i'm all about walking outdoors in the midst of a leaf fall with no shoes on (or perhaps a really pretty pair to dress my jeans up), my favorite pair of jeans on that fit just right, with maybe a braid or two in my hair.... my daughter makes my life worth living. my books keep my dreams alive & well nurtured. my poetry keeps my emotions in check. my friends... well, you're the glue that helps me hang on when it seems too hard to try on my own. i'm just a country girl at heart & miss living near the good ole country folk.

Wife to an awesome man - 13 years and counting. Mom of four boys, three girls. Yes, to all those at youbemom, I am a Jesus freak.

I have recently celebrated my 30th birthday. Short story of my life: I was born in 1979, grew up in Switzerland, became a Christian, went to law school, became an attorney, got married, had a son. Becoming a SAHM was quite a change, but I am loving it more and more. We have found out in May 09 that we're expecting our second child ! The baby's due date is 01/28/2010, plus/minus a couple of days of course :-).
