After 15 years as a military wife, I am a Gold Star Wife, grappling with life as a newly-single mom to two boys. I am a lover of learning-- currently working on master's degree #2. I hold my dream job of teaching high school girls health. I love being the woman that gets to talk to them about things they might not talk about otherwise. My job is to teach them the beauty of their self-worth and where that is found. I recently became a lover of fitness as a means of therapy. I am finally learning to love myself for who God made me to be. We are crafting a new life - full of GRIT and GRACE. I spend most of my free time on the baseball field watching my youngest or on the golf course watching my oldest. When we're not racing around getting everyone where they need to go you will find us on the water with the biggest smiles on our faces. I am continually coming up with new DIY projects, mainly because I know I can make it myself for 1/2 the cost. Sometimes I'm right.
