Born in Oregon, raised in Washington. Sarcastic by birth. BIG SEAHAWK, CUBS and LONGHORN FAN!!!!! Oh, did I mention that I am happily married for almost 24 years? After high school, I joined and served in the US Navy for 6 years and during that time, I met and married my husband who was a Navy Diver training Sea Lions and Dolphins when we started dating! We had 2 kids. After getting out of the Navy, I worked as a Criminal Lead Trial Clerk in Bellevue, Washington for 3 years and before moving to Alaska was a Recruiter/Branch Manager for Cardinal Services, Inc. in Roseburg,Oregon for 11 years! We have traveled and lived all over the United States and my husband has been around the world several times before retiring from the Navy. Both our kids are grown and doing well! We are now Alaska residents and live in a coastal village in Rural Western Alaska teaching Yupik (Eskimo) children. I am working part time as a Substitute Teacher and classroom volunteer here in the "Land of Many Caribou"! (The best village in the state ~ Tuntutuliak)
