After graduating from York College in York, Nebraska, with a A.A. degree, I transferred to Lubbock Christian University in Lubbock, Texas and graduated with a B.S. Ed.
When I returned to Iowa, I met and married the Love of my life, David. God had written our love story, and I know from the moment we met that he was the one.It wasn't love at first sight by any means, but I was sure he was the man I would marry--and it scared me to death. I didn't tell a soul, but I did write about it in my journal.
Two and half years later, we pledged our hearts and lives to one another. I taught high school English until my oldest child was born. After that, I began my career as a professional wiper. I wiped noses, counter tops, tiny tushes, tears, and the scraped knees of my own kids and the ones others allowed me to care for.
Once my children were older and less in need of my constant supervision, I started pursuing my first love again--writing. David and I have three adult children, but no grandchildren yet. He's an elder in our church, and we both teach Bible classes and are involved in 4-H.
