Interesting Facts About Me
• I’m a PK (preacher’s kid)! I was born in the cornfields of NW Indiana (near Chicago, IL), and our family moved to St. Paul, MN for my dad to attend seminary for four years. We moved back to Indiana, where he started a church. After 3 years, we moved to Valdosta, where I have remained. My dad now resides in Florida, and my mom retired back to Indiana.
• I enjoy reading, writing, gardening, bird watching, and crafting (especially painting)!
•I am a Fibromyalgia Warrior! May 12 is International Fibromyalgia Awareness Day. Join me in wearing purple on May 12 to raise awareness. Hopefully a cure will be found!
