I was born in Oklahoma City in April 1983. Me parents lived across the road from me grandparents out in the country. When I was two and a half me family moved to Colorado. Me Dad got a teaching job and in the summer he drove jeep tours. Four months before I turned three, me little sister Sarah was born. This picture (left) was taken of me before I turned one. I was probably about three in the other picture (right). |

When I was six, we moved from a house in town, to a nice rented farm house out in the country. We all had so much fun there. We loved living in the country. Sarah and I would make mud pies, ride our bikes, play on the swings in the tree house. In the winter we would go sledding on a hill just out side our house. Those were good times. Here's a picture (right) of me Dad giving me a ride in a wheelbarrow full of weeds he had just pulled from the garden. I was eight then. |

When I was ten, the house in the country that we were renting, sold. We moved to town to manage a motel. We lived in the one bedroom apartment off the lobby for a while. Then we got to move into the three bedroom managers house which was built right behind the motel. It was an interesting experience to live at a motel. The picture (left) was taken of me, Mum, and Sarah when I was 9. The other picture (right) was when I was 12. |

After we moved away from the motel, we lived in a very nice townhouse right on the golf course. It was the biggest place I had ever lived in. Sarah and I shared a bedroom in the loft which we liked very much. I was homeschooled all my life, and one nice thing about this house was that we had a big school room. Picture (right) me at age 13. |

In December of 1996 when I was 13, our family moved to Florida so me parents could go to Bible School. First we lived in Pensacola and then we moved to Tampa. I really enjoyed our time in Tampa. This picture (left) is of Sarah, left, and me, right, when I was 14. |

While we were in Florida we got to go many fun places like Busch Gardens, Disney World, the Beach, and many other places. We also had a great church in Tampa and a fun youth group. The picture (left) is of me on the beach right before I turned 15. The picture (right) is of Sarah, Dad, and Me. We moved back to Colorado when I was 16. |

Dad died in October of 1999 and we lived in the same house until July 2000 when we moved out to 11 acres in the adobes. This was our first time to own our own land in over 10 years. This picture (right) was taken of me and me guitar when I was 16. |

This picutre (right) was taken of me and "Ricky" in June of 2000 when I was 17.
Now that we have our own place it looks like I won't be moving again until I get married (and only God knows when that will be!) |
