I love how everyone knows how important prayer is. Every time there is a gathering or a meeting, the first thing we do is invite the Holy Spirit in.

Outside of work, I cherish spending quality time with my husband and our three children. Our lives are filled with busy weekends attending flag football games, gymnastics practices, and various sports activities that our kids are passionate about. My husband and I also love exploring new dining spots and scenic drives together. We are actively involved in our church. We lead the Royal Rangers program, while our oldest daughter contributes to the youth worship team, and our two youngest are engaged in children’s church.

I’ve spent my whole life in Colorado and have never called any other state home. Sure, I occasionally ponder the idea of moving, but let’s be real: no other place has green chili that can compete with ours! I might just wither away without it. Just kidding! But really, a nice bowl of green chili and a big dose of Jesus is the perfect combo for me!
