Other

Mike and I got married about 6 years after being the nerds together in the YA 50's number. I did my MFA at the U of U and then we moved to Chicago where I taught at the University
of Chicago and Mike earned his PhD. We came back to Provo as our dreams came true of being able to teach at BYU. It was a wonderful time and so humbling to try to help these incredible young people have the same kind of experiences we all shared at BYU. Let me tell you that the students I was blessed to work with were some of the finest young people on earth and I love them dearly. I was able to tour to Southeast Asia and to the Caribbean with the Dancers' Company and to see God's hand as we met His beautiful children.
Now we are loving a new home, Mike works as a consultant and travels tons, I get to be home a lot more doing the regular mom things. Coulsen is at Timpview and a 4.0 merit scholar semi finalist, plays lacrosse, is a student body officer, and is in a techno band playing the keyboard! Kelsey dances (of course!), loves to act, plays the violin and piano and is the best cook in the house. Connor is the king and is so full of life we can hardly keep up. I love his little face and hug him whenever I can catch him.
