About me

Introduction Dennis and I were married on May 6, 1978 in the Oakland Temple. We met at Ricks College, even though he lived in the same Stake in California as my Dad. My step-sister, Juanita, knew Dennis and introduced us as soon as we got to Ricks. I found out later, Dennis would come over when he knew I was home and Juanita wasn't, just to see me. We dated and the rest is history! We have lived in a lot of places since being married; Vacaville, Calif., Boise, Idaho, Springville, Utah, Seattle, Washington, Provo, Sandy, and Draper, Utah. We currently are living in West Linn, Oregon, by Portland and loving it! We have 4 children, Erik, Kevin, Beth and Tyler. I have three of the cutest grandsons; Dylan, 5; Brock, 4; and Kaden, 2. I love being a grandma and getting to see the boys! The oldest are all married to wonderful spouses that we have welcomed into the family and Tyler is still at home and looking. We have been married 30 years this year and they have been the hardest and the happiest. My favorite things to do are to sew, do flowers, be with my family, anything outdoors, and travel. Dennis and I are enjoying our time in Oregon and love to spend weekends on the coast.
