Day 1: The Story of My Life

I was born in Kansas and have lived here my whole life.
My parents are amazing people who work hard and give abundantly.
My brother is younger than me but way smarter.
I did not grow up around my grandparents.
I went on my first date when I was 15.  I married him four and a half years later.
My mother is the most faithful person I know.
I went to college and got a degree and then started out in the profession to find that college had prepared me for maybe 10% of the real world.
I teach seventh graders because they are among the most interesting people on the planet.
My father is the most devoted person I know.
I am a musician who can't (really) read music, aka: a vocalist.
I have two beautiful children and they are the best things about me.
I love my church.
My husband is the most wonderful person I know.
I learned to love Jesus at an early age, but I didn't begin to follow Him until much later.  And sometimes it's with my head hanging, or kicking and screaming, or racing up ahead. Rarely am I in complete step with Him.
I am a work in progress.
