Children: 3 children: Shalyn, Misha, and Shad. All grown and married. 11 grandchildren and another on the way, from ages 12 to 10 months.
What's Been Happening: Life has been an extreme adventure for us. Steve is a pastor and has for a number of years been involved with helping hurting, dysfunctional churches or churches in transition. Due to this fact we have had the privilege of seeing and enjoying many different parts of the country and the wonderful people that live there.

We've lived in 13 different states from Washington to Florida and all in between and moved more times than I can keep track of.
At times life for us has seemed sort of like a whirlwind. I have been involved in differing areas of education
from teaching in a private school to home-schooling and tutoring. Most recently I was a nanny for 2 little girls who had to travel between France and Texas regularly. What fun. Most of my time has been spent in Christian
education where I've served a Director of Children's Ministry in several churches.
A highlight for me was getting to help write a character-based children's curriculum to be use in the church setting. We have just recently moved back to Washington state and Steve is pastoring a church on the Olympic
peninsula. The beauty is breath-taking, the people are wonderful and best of all - all of our children and grandchildren are close by. Life couldn't be better and I hope that the same is true of you.

The church where Steve pastors in Gig Harbor, Washington … a wonderful, quaint, maritime city with a pleasure boat harbor… very touristy. Population in area around 25,000, pretty close to Tacoma, WA.
