My husband is my 1st Boyfriend, 1st Date and 1st Kiss. We met half way around the world and he still makes me laugh everyday.

Culture

I’ve gotten muddy in the Dead Sea, ridden a camel around the pyramids, and walked in the footsteps of emperors.

Education

5.

I went to North Central University because it had scoop ice cream and an Intercultural Studies Degree. I graduated as Salutatorian of my class. My Master’s of Arts in Language Teaching came from the University of Nebraska Omaha. I’m currently pursuing a Mental Health Coach Certification.

Infertility & Natural Living

6.

I wore the same Wool& dress for 100 days straight, had 2 natural births, and cook with cast iron. Infertility led me on the path to more natural living and becoming gluten and dairy free.

For Fun

7.

I’m an Enneagram 1.

I read all the rules making me great at winning contests, love competitive swimming and baking with a scale.
