Directly after our honeymoon, we worked at a fishing
lodge. After those difficult 4 months, I
didn’t have a job again for almost 8 years, other than being a housewife. In the summer of 2013, I started working from
home as an independent rep for a catalogue company, which I did until the end of 2015. Throughout our marriage Lee has held a
variety of jobs, including boat assembly, semi truck driver, flight instructor,
and dispatcher. He is currently working
as a gravel truck driver as he waits to get hired as a pilot.
Both of us love cats, although we currently don’t have any. The cat that was our "baby”, and we still love, was Smacky. He lived with us from March 2006 – August 31, 2012. We had another indoor cat as well, Chilla, but we were never as close to him. He lived with us from July 19, 2008 – Summer ‘10. We have also had many, many outdoor cats and kittens from the end of ’05 to the end of 2012. The outdoor cat I was closest to during this time was my sweetheart, Buddy, who lived with us almost that entire time.

My hobbies include scrapbooking and making cards, gardening, identifying wildflowers, and reading. I also spend my time doing normal housewife stuff and spending time online. I love eating chocolate and I enjoy cooking. Although a messy person, I love organization. I enjoy being outdoors and spending time with Lee and our families. Lee’s passion in life is aviation; he loves flying. He also enjoys birding, flowers, reading, and fish-keeping.
Our first home was a very tiny, old house on 5 big beautiful acres where we lived for about 7 1/2 years. Our yard & property were gorgeous, our house was…cute. We subdivided our property and sold both halves and bought a condo in town. We moved into it, our second home, in the beginning of February 2013. Although not large, it had enough room for future Baby. We did a lot of renos inside our condo and loved the way it looked. In August of 2015 we moved into a bungalow with a nice yard in town. We're renovating the house and plan on staying here for many years. We're actually not minding living in town, but both of us will always remain "country-people".
I became a Christian in my mid-twenties; you can read more about that here. Lee became a Christian in his early to mid-twenties as well. My faith is very important to me and I desire to be used by God as He reaches my loved ones and strangers alike with the one true gospel of His Son, Jesus' birth, death, and resurrection.
We were approved to adopt on May 14, 2013. You can follow our adoption journey here. It is also the main topic of what I write about on this blog. I love talking about anything adoption-related and I am very eagerly awaiting "The Call".
