I grew up in a small town in South Dakota, just outside of Aberdeen, and married my high school sweetheart. We moved to Lincoln, NE so I could attend the University of Nebraska. Go Big Red! An opportunity came up to relocate to Des Moines, IA so we took it and have raised our girls here. I love being a show choir mom, that era came to an end after 10 years in March. My girls are my everything. Our 2 Schnauzers make us laugh and bring in way too much grass, mulch and leaves with their escapades in and out all day/night long.
