| Introduction | I am a thirty-something Utah girl. My amazing husband and I met in Miss Miller's 10th grade English class and we married each other anyway. We've been married for eighteen wonderful years and have two daughters, Alexa (11) and Grace (9). My beautiful daughters are doing a highly admirable job of raising their mother. I try my best to act smart, be respectful and pick up my socks. I teach Writing and Rhetoric 150 to the most fabulous, brilliant, and funny students to grace the BYU campus. I am doing on-the-job training as the Stake Relief Society President and recently made my first batch EVER of freezer jam, so I am now more eminently qualified. I love being in love with Mark. Life is good. |
