A Bit About Me:

I’m a North Carolina native who moved all over the state thanks to my dads job.
I attended the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and received my degree in Secondary Education.
I taught high school Social Studies for eight years before I became a full time homemaker / mommy.
I’m married to an awesome guy named John and have two wonderful kids (ages 7 and 2).

Favorite Books:

The Bible, The Great Gatsby, The Scarlett Letter, Wuethering Heights, and other 11th grade English class American Classics. Now I read lots of kids books, many of the same ones hundreds of times

Simple Pleasures:

A nap (sleep is good!), chocolate chip cookies, a fun family night at home with my peeps,
and a movie / ice cream night with my girlfriends.

I’d Love To Visit:

Dont like planes . . . Do they sell tranquilizer guns for use by the flight averse? If they do,
then maybe Paris, London, Sydney, and Jerusalem. The tropics are nice too but not during hurricane season.

Loaded In My I-Pod:

No iPod – - Im such a loser I know. If I did have one then it would have a variety of genres on it. Disco (love ABBA), Hard rock / Heavy metal like AC/DC, Broadway show tunes, Contemporary Christian, and Veggie Tales

What I Typically Do Around Radiant Life Fellowship:

I’m the Family Minister @ Radiant Life.
I work with the childrens leaders to make your child’s time here at Radiant Life the best part of their week. The Grove rocks and our kids love it! I also work with the youth leaders to help our students experience God in a personal way. My main job is to equip and encourage parents as they guide their children towards God. When a child / student hears the same thing from parents and their Life Group leaders, at church, it has a big impact on that child / student. I’m into big impacts!

Most People Would Be Surprised That I met my wonderful husband in high school…in Physics class. I was in the 11th grade. He likes to say we had Chemistry in Physics. Ha, Ha! That’s one of the many reasons I love him so!
