I love the warmth I feel by the staff at Front Range and truly feel they care about me and my family. I also love that it is a place where little one’s faith in God can take flight and soar.
Five books, other than the Bible, that have impacted my faith or career.
- Transforming Grace by Jerry Bridges
- Lord, I Want to Know You by Kay Arthur
- Loving God with All Your Mind by Elizabeth George
- Conscious Discipline by Dr. Becky A. Bailey
- Shepherding a Child’s Heart by Ted Tripp
I love taking walks and bike rides with my husband when we get the chance. Most of my time currently is spent with my vivacious and sweet little girls who I simply adore. We love reading books together, dancing our sillies out, discovering bugs outside, and chasing the neighborhood bunnies in circles. When not with my kids, I really enjoy reading a good book while sipping on a warm cup of coffee.
I love music and movement. This is one of my favorite things about teaching early childhood education. Kids just want to sing and dance and I guess that makes me a big kid too. Long before teaching though, my passion for singing and dancing was spawned from watching the old classic movies with my mom and sisters. Movies such as “Meet Me In St. Louis”, “Calamity Jane” and “White Christmas” set my heart a-sailing and I hope to one day share these classic movies with my very own children.
