Mommie Moments

Mommie Moments are just that... special moments that I thought I would share about my life as a mom or even the things we experience, from my perspective of course!  I hope you enjoy all of the stories that you read here at The Mommie & the Missionary, but to me Mommie Moments are simply the sweetest!  To read about these special moments go to the "Our Adventures" column & click on "Mommie Moments."

       My degree was in the area of Occupational Therapy & my ministry experience came predominantly in the areas of children & youth ministries.  I spent my childhood learning Sign Language from my mom & helping with Deaf children at the Deaf School where she worked.  Little did I know that I would be homeschooling my children & living as a missionary using all of that knowledge for overseas ministry.

        I am a definite girly girl in a house full of BOYS!  I like singing & listening to worship music, scrapbooking (not that I have the time anymore),  being creative & original, cooking, decorating, hanging out with my fellas, anything PINK, and watching QVC online.  I love musicals & chocolate is a must! Jewelry is of upmost importance though it doesn't have to be expensive.  My favorite food has always been & will forever remain PIZZA, although I will admit that living overseas has opened my taste buds to a variety of new foods. I am gluten intolerant so I am having to get creative these days to be able to have some of the foods I once enjoyed.  I enjoy time with my special "Mama friends" though those times come few & far between since we are all serving as missionaries in different countries.

I miss my family deeply but know that we are doing exactly what the Lord has called us to do.  I am detail oriented & like to plan & make lists & I have always been on a quest to keep things fair. My birthday is December 20.  I am married to the best guy in the world!  We have been married Since March 27, 1999, and my life has not been the same since!
