I grew up on a farm in Eastern Idaho. I am the middle of
three kids- I have an older brother and a younger sister. I spent a lot of time as a kid riding
with my parents on tractors or in pickup trucks and I actually drove a tractor
for the first time by myself when I was eight but drove a car for the first
time when I was five- you’ll have to ask about that story- my spunky little
self got in some trouble for that. My parents have always been supportive of
whatever project I am working on or dream I am chasing. They are excited for us
to add another grandchild to our family for them to love (and spoil)! I was so blessed to grow up so close to
my grandparents-they only lived nine miles from my home. I spent a lot of time next to my
grandma in the kitchen learning how to cook – I still haven’t mastered grandma’s
dinner rolls but I’m working on it.
Before JD and I met I attended college for several years in
Idaho, spent a year in New Jersey working as a nanny. My “kids” are now almost
18 and 16- time goes way to fast!!
I worked as an account executive for a trade-show decorator and
eventually managed the company’s office in Phoenix, AZ. I enjoyed my job and it was full of
amazing opportunities but it also included long hours and limited time to meet
and date anyone. I knew I wanted
to get married and start a family so I made a major life decision in 2008 and
quit my job and moved back to Salt Lake and enrolled in massage therapy
school. Just six months after
moving back to Utah and starting school J.D. and I met. I graduated two weeks before we were
married. I am currently working at
a local hospital on the mother/baby floor and get to cuddle with sweet new
babies every night at work. Simply
stated- I L-O-V-E my job!
I enjoy learning and have several classes that I’m looking
forward to taking- photography- I can’t wait to take a picture not in auto
mode, sewing, pottery and Spanish language. I have to admit I’m learning a lot about most of those
things and more via Pinterest! (I may be slightly addicted to pinning.)
