I live to serve my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I am reminded daily of His perfect love and am always striving to know Him more. I was blessed to marry the man of my dreams August 4th, 2007 and our love for each other grows with each new day. I am a high school chemistry teacher, and my husband is the high school youth pastor at our church, so most of our free time is spent with teenagers! I love to cook and my husband loves to eat (but he can also hold his own in the kitchen)! :)
