My husband, Kris, and I live in Manchester. Our daughter, Keeley is a Labor and Delivery nurse at St. Luke's Hospital in Cedar Rapids. Kalen, our son, attends and wrestles at Wartburg College in Waverly. We also have a black lab named Annie, a yellow lab named Teal , and a Chinese Pug named Nogin. We were also adopted last summer by a terribly indpependent cat who is named Anchovie.

In my spare time I like to watch wrestling meets, read, exercise, hike, and fish. My family and I also enjoy our yearly trip to Canada.

 

I have become quite adventurous since my children have grown up and are doing their own things! I have completed a 5 day hike in the Appalachian Mountains in northern Tennessee/ North Carolina and a 4 day Boundary Water trip in Northern Minnesota! This summer's adventure involved a 9 day mission trip to Haiti with Mrs. Anderegg and Mrs. Gatto. We went to help out at the Hands & Feet Project Children's Village. Our trip was July 10- July 19. You can read about our adventures while we were gone by checking out our blog at http://haiti09.blogspot.com/. This trip was a truly life changing and fabulous experience. I can't wait to share it with you.
