Bio:

I was born in North Carolina and lived there until I was about 2 or so.  My father was in the military, so we moved every year or two.  We lived up and down the east coast, in Arkansas, Germany and Kansas, before he retired in 1980.  I attended Manhattan High School (in Kansas) and college and law school at the University of Kansas (Go Jayhawks!!).

I've lived in Alabama, Georgia, Texas and California since leaving my parents' home.  I currently live in California with my husband Kirk (even while we were on our RTW, we considered California as home). My family and friends are scattered all over the place, as you can imagine.

My husband and I are highly involved with our church, locally. I have lots of hobbies, including cooking, HAM radio, reading, travelling, bzflag, and sports/outdoor activities. Although I love to watch Jayhawk Basketball, I generally prefer to participate. Some of my favorites are beach volleyball, scuba diving, cycling, rowing, swimming, snow skiing, tramping, surfing, off-roading, etc.

My travels over the last few years have taken me to Costa Rica, Hawaii, Australia, Ireland, New Zealand, and most recently, on a 15-country, 1-year round-the-world trip.

Weekend Exhaustion!

Well, I am now exhausted! Yesterday, Kirk took Patrick to Go Kart World in the morning. Our church was sponsoring a Father/Son outing in honor of Father's Day. They had a great time. Meanwhile, I stayed home and made a picnic lunch. We then headed up to the La Brea Tar Pits and the Page Museum to have a picnic lunch and explore a bit.

It was a typical "June Gloom" day - rather chilly, in fact. We hung around outside for a bit, and then went in to wander around the museum.

Afterwards, we went down to Laguna Hills to see Kirk's parents. We took Kirk's dad out to a Father's Day Dinner (a day early).

Peter Pan at the Hermosa Playhouse Today, Kirk and I went to church and then to a play put on by the Southern California Youth Theatre, "Peter Pan". Several of the kids from our church were performing. It was really fun - they had even rented about $10,000 worth of high flying gear for the play. You can read more about it on Kirk's blog.
