I was born in the U.S. mid-west, and have lived in various cities and states across the country. I graduated Magna Cum Laude from Central High School, Rapid City, South Dakota. I started college at Black Hills State University (Spearfish, S.D), then spent some time at Oglala Lakota College (Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, S.D.). I graduated Cum Laude from Chadron State College (Chadron, Nebraska) with a B.S. in Education (Art, K-12). I'm considering working toward a Master's in Fine Arts, but that might be a couple years down the road. Currently I live in west-central Minnesota, with one husband, three sons, and various pets. My ancestry is approximately 7/8 "European" and 1/8 "American Indian" (Lakota Sioux and Cherokee mix). In the past I've been a hospital candy striper, a clerk-typist in the South Dakota Army National Guard, the owner of a licensed day care, and a Cub Scout Den Leader. In 1996, I helped design the original web page for the city of Rushville, Nebraska. Currently, I'm a wife and a mom. During the school year I work as the Title IX Tutor at my kids' school. As Title IX Tutor, I provide educational support and tutoring for the Native American students. I also serve as Primary President (commonly called "Sunday School Superintendent" in other churches) in the Sisseton, S.D. branch of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I also volunteer in various community groups. My top hobbies are family history, reading up on various interests, painting, and making web pages. I also tend to work out almost every day, mainly by weight training and step aerobics. Things I like include: having fun with my kids; cuddling with my husband; visiting my sister; animals (especially Tabitha, my Devon Rex); hiking; fishing; boating; camping; getting a painting just right; the moment when an idea clicks in a child's head; colorful fragrant flower gardens; orange juice; lemonade; Charlton Heston or Harrison Ford movies; the serene and scenic Black Hills of South Dakota; warm summer days and cool summer nights.......to mention just a few things.
