I’m a Colorado native and I attended a Lutheran Church with my Mom between the ages of 10 and 14 – I learned about God and Jesus but it was only religion to me, not personal. As a teenager and young adult, I chose to walk away and TRY to live my life without God. After losing my Dad in 1997 and going through a divorce in 1998 – I realized I couldn’t go through life without God and I returned to Church. I came to Grace in the summer of 2001, heard the clear Gospel and I finally got IT and now have that relationship that I was missing for so many years. God brought a wonderful man back into my life and we were married in 2021.
What is your favorite season & why?
I love that we have all four seasons in Colorado but my favorite is definitely summer – sunshine, warm weather, outdoor activities, visiting Glenwood Springs and spending time in our beautiful majestic mountains – Colorado is definitely God’s country!
What is your favorite treat or snack?
Chocolate Chip Cookies & Raspberry Chai from Ziggi's
What is your favorite movie?
It would be hard for me to pick one favorite movie - I love all kinds of movies, especially about real people and events.
One thing people don’t know about you?
When I go to the dentist and have to get a shot, I wiggle my big toe, seriously.
