| Occupation | Homeschool Momma |
| Location | Seattle, WA, United States |
| Introduction | I'm Liz, wife to Brian, and a homeschooling Momma to our seven wonderful children. We believe that children REALLY ARE a GIFT from the Lord, and have been blessed incredibly by trusting HIM with the number and timing of these gifts, trusting Him to provide financially, spiritually, emotionally and practically in the raising of them. We also homeschool them(sometimes more in theory than practice! haaaa!) I was born and raised in Skagit Valley, WA. and met my amaaaazing better half Brian, at the tender age of fifteen. By seventeen,I didn't see any point in refusing his proposals any longer! We were engaged in October of my senior year of highschool, invited the whole school to our great big happy wedding,got hitched the friday night before Spring break. (Now that's the way to do Spring break ;) We both always knew we wanted a lot of kids, but our conviction to actually release the timing and number of that to their Creator, came graaaadually. My big "15 minutes of fame" came this January when I gave birth to my seventh, a little daughter Juliet Mercy, in the passenger seat of the family van while driving to the hospital. (Don't miss the news clip on that one!) |
| Interests | Glorifying God, relaxing with my husband and children, a little bit of Homeschooling but not too much, Writing, (mostly about how my kids torture me and how hilarious they are), writing songs and fiddling with Garageband, singing with my SISTAS!, playing piano and attempting guitar and other various instruments, abusing my husband (ohhhh, he likes it), reading, sleeping, occasionally bathing, STARBUCKS, sitting in the hot tub, FREEbirthin (wahoo!), being entertained by my cute funny kids, sharing the love of Christ to the lost, hospitality, BBQ/Pool Parties, encouraging other young mothers and wives in their very very high callings. Enjoying my GOD who is infinitely good. |

It really depends on whether I am trying to lower or raise my blood pressure :) And of course, I crash and burn pretty quickly without reading my Bible. It's my mainstay. |
If you were a wrestler, what would be your finishing move?
Well, I did sumo wrestle once. Brian and I were tricked into it. My finishing move was... This question sort of makes me angry. Yes. I am angry now.
