About Me:

  My family is a wonderful gift.  My husband, Luke, and I live on a farm northwest of De Smet.  We have been blessed to have 4 daughters Amanda, is a registered nurse at Avera Hospital in Sioux Falls, SD.   Kelsey, a senior education major at Dakota State University, is student teaching in Colman, SD.  Shannon, a freshman at MNSU in Morrhead, MN is majoring in physics and astronomy.  Kristen is a junior at DHS .  We are proud of them and enjoy spending time following their various sports and music activities.  When home we enjoy playing board games and watching movies and of course with 4 girls shopping in the malls!

Some of my hobbies include cheering on my daughters  in their activities, scrap booking, gardening, taking our dogs for a walk, and baking.
