I have been married to my best friend, Nate, for 13 years. He is really a lot of fun to be around, full of personality, imagination, wisdom and just the right amount of humor. He is also your second shooter when you book a wedding! 

We have a little one around the house. Mateo is my miracle NICU baby that is now a little boy. What joy he brings to my life. He is strong-willed and challenges me. This has built my patience and tolerance for insanity. He is a bundle of energy, which keeps me on my toes, he is kind and creative. The best combo of perfectly wild and cuddly. I’m more than excited to be here helping to shape the kind of man he will become.

We also have Japanese "daughters"! We are a host family for a homestay program. We host our daughters anywhere between 1 month to 1 year while they study at ASU. Missing them this year due to COVID but hoping they will be back soon!

LOVE WINS AND JESUS KNEW LOVE LIKE NO OTHER. His example of love over and over again rescues me. God became human in order to spread love and break the distance between us and him. To give us LIFE and life to the full (hense "Fully Alive" So my faith and life is truly is guided by the radical example of the life of Jesus.
-Flipping tables against injustice, creating love, giving a voice to the oppressed -women, children, homeless, and all races & tribes. His message was freedom and equality and love-  and it was RADICAL for the time.  I would be a fool to say I am not WHO I am because of him and his great love for me. He is the reason for my moral compass and every decision I make in my life.

I don't talk about this much on my site, because I know the Christian faith has gotten a lot of things wrong over the years, and never want anyone to get the impression that I am in any way judgmental. I honestly don't believe that anyone has gotten it wrong. I support other faith systems or people who don't have faith at all. 

I am proud and glad to celebrate clients of all sexual orientations, religious beliefs, and race.

I love reading! Mostly young adult post-apocalyptic fiction books. Some personal development books too.

Podcasts & Audio Books... because I have ADD. And listening is KEY for learning. If you want to know what I'm listening to or reading shoot me an email!

Playing my ukulele, doing puzzles, and even playing animal crossing and stardew valley on the nintendo switch takes much of my free time.

Reading, Fun, Learning & Ukuleles

Okay. So gardening and dirt! Being outdoors and working with my hands, I love it! Yard work, gardening, building things. You can often find me building things like desks or shelves out of wood or adobe-ing a wall.
