- My husband, Bryan, and I have been married since May 1994. We have

has a wonderful sense of humor!.

MISCELLANEOUS:
-
The most important things that I have learned since high school are:
what a prideful, selfish human being I was then and often continue to be. I think I was pretty snotty about being in AP classes and probably acted like I was better than others...which I wasn't and am not. I obsessed with wanting people to like me and to praise me.
I have learned, by God's hand, what a terrible sinner I am. He has given
me GRACE (unmerited love and acceptance) when actually I deserved
the opposite. He has done this because of what His Son, Jesus Christ did: lived
a perfect life on earth and died on the cross, a death He did not deserve, to
pay the penalty for MY sin. I wish I had grown up knowing this. But, I am
SO glad to know it now! If there is (or was) anything GOOD in me it is
thanks to our Wonderful God.
