Chris and I met at a telemarketing company. He listened in on the calls I made, so he could "get acquainted with the company my group called for"….I didn't have to make very many calls because he just wanted to talk. We have been married 23 years now.

Something unique about me….growing up in Alaska allowed me to camp and fish a lot! I really enjoyed living on the Kenai River in the summers to fish. I also became good at ice skating since all of the elementary schools in Anchorage have a skating rink on the play grounds. Don't know the last time I put on skates though, so don't be expecting anything at the next ward talent show!
