The beginning

Well, where does one begin? For many of you, you've already answered this question as I am "slow" to catching up to this blog thing. A few things to know...I was born and raised right here in the northwest, I have been married for 1 year and have been the proud auntie to twin girls for about 4 months. The true home-manager is a dog named Mr. Bailey. He's just 3 years old, but in dog years you know...well, he's very mature for his age. I have been working ever since it was legal for me to work (meaning - age 16). I have a BA in Communications and a Masters in Philanthropic Studies. I love my career as a major gift fundraiser. When not traveling around the US for my job, you can find me in the kitchen with a Rachael Ray cookbook on the counter or catching up on the political situation in our nation.

I'm blessed to have a friendship with God and I'm proud to be a Republican (not that the first has much to do with the second!). I've always been a very public person with many opportunities to publicly speak about things that are important to me or for organizations that are meaningful to me.
