Biography :
My husband, Brent, and I met many years ago while we were attending Rick's College, now BYUI - he thought I had good legs and I thought he had great lips! We've been married 41 years this November and have 6 children and 15 grandkids. I love to read and teach. My favorite people are the youth and young adults! Whenever we get a free day or evening, Brent and I will rev up the motorcycles and go riding in the hill country. I have found that my scriptures fit very nicely in my saddlebags! I work in the Temple on Tuesday evenings and still work full time during the day. When we retire in a few years, we plan to go on a mission.
