About Me

Welcome to my profile!!My family and I call the Northern Plains of the United States of America home, and what a wonderful place it is! Who would of imagined a girl from Long Island, New York would come to live in the middle of the country? But we have, and I love it here!!My husband is the Minister and Teacher of the Congregational Church in our town, which is a United Church of Christ church. He is a man of bold ideas, and bold vision...I am so blessed to be married to him!!My father came to be with us when we moved out here, but he lives in a place nearby.On February 18, 2008, we were blessed with a new member being born into our family - when our son George (or G.R. as his Dad calls him) was born via cesaraean surgery in Fargo, North Dakota. He is the light of our life, and our angel and blessing. And, on May 18th he was baptized by his father into God's family and faith.Kater that year, something else that was wonderful happened. On that date I was ordained and offically installed as the Associate Minister of Spiritual Care and Youth Ministry of the Congregational United Church (UCC)where Carl is the Minister and Teacher. So, now I can be called Reverend and Mommy and wife. And in June of last year I also began leading worship at the 1st Presbyterian Church of Colgate, ND. I have been doing this for over a year now, while also working as the Mission-Spiritual Care Leader at Mercy Hospital here in Valley City, ND where we live.In closing, I wish send an invite to our friends out there in MySpace land, and around the country and world, you know who you are -- we wish to invite you to come stay a spell with us in the Northern Plains, and to meet our George and to just relax. We have a sofa/futon bed waiting for you, with a television with cable, so there is no excuse for no visits from all of you. We miss you guys and hope to see you soon!!
