In December of 1998, I married Rick, a great guy! It is hard for us to believe we are already in our 10th year of marriage. Life together has had its ups and downs, but one constant remains to keep us focused on each other: God is the Head of our marriage and the One to Whom we turn to keep us on track.

Rick and I moved from central California to northern Arizona in September of 2004 and are constantly in awe of our beautiful surroundings. My children, Kathy and Alan, live in the Phoenix area so we are only about 2 hours away from each other.

Our Sheltie, Bleu Boy, joined our family in 2003 and turned 10 last September. He's a handsome guy and is still full of pep and energy. He loves it here where he has a great backyard view of everything that goes on around him.

Most of my family lives on the East coast. My sisters, Palma and Julie, live in the Northeast; my other 2 sisters, Nancy and Maria, live in Florida near my father. Mom is with the Lord now but her spirit lives on in all of us.
