WHO I AM
I'm a transparent, easy-going person. I kinda work against myself in that I try to keep life as simple as possible, but my perfectionism often works against me. I have eight kids...and yes, I know what causes it! I have a strong Christian faith, but don't feel threatened by other beliefs and actually enjoy talking over the differences. I'm studying web design and graphic arts at Montana State University Great Falls College of Technology. An old fart in college...WAY cool.
FOR THOSE I'M TRYING TO FIND AND VISE VERSA, MY HISTORY...
I was raised in Thermalito (Oroville), CA until I was around 12 when I moved to OR. When in CA, I attended public school gr K-4, then St Thomas Catholic School gr 5-7. In OR, I moved to Lyons and shortly after to Stayton where I attended public school gr 8-12. I joined the Air Force in 1982 when I became a Security Specialist. The bases I lived and worked at were Spangdahlem AB, Germany; Mather AFB, CA; Lajes Field, Azores, Portugal; Ft Leavenworth, KS; Keflavik NAS, Iceland; Minot AFB, ND. Here I cross-trained into Readiness (Disaster Prep/NBC Specialist). I then lived in Anderson AFB, GU and Malmstrom AFB, MT. The deployed places I've spent time at that I can remember and can mention are Thumbrait AB and Seeb AB in Oman; Al Dhafra AB, UAE; Al Udeid AB, Qatar; Bahrain AB, Bahrain; Prince Sultan AB, Saudi Arabia; and Al Jaber, Kuwait.
I'm seeking to find those I can remember that effected my life in a positive way and find out how life has been to them. Hopefully I'm not an intrusion.
Eight Arrows Academy is the name of our in-home school. Yes, we're homeschoolers. We've determined it's the best way to educate our children. The term "Alternate Educators" might better describe what we do as we teach A LOT outside of the home. Our way of teaching is creating intelligent citizens capable of critical thinking. Man that sounded good! Yup, I'll keep it!
IN MY WEAKNESS, HE IS STRONG
One of the things that effects my life the most (other than Christ) is I have Chronic Myofascial Pain Syndrome/Fibromyalgia which is chronic pain throughout my body. I also have repaired but still damaged both knees and finally nerve damage to my right shoulder. All these pains often make me grumpy, but I try to behave myself. If you see me and it seems I'm holding back in some areas, this is the reason.
