About Me

My name is Lois.  I grew up in St. Louis, Missouri and still live very near the house that I grew up in.  I have been married to Brad since 1978 and have three daughters, Katie, Julie and Erin, and two sons-in-law, Joe who is married to Julie and Chantz, who is married to Katie.  These girls have been the biggest blessings of my life.  Over the past years, they have taught me a lot about life.

I have three sisters, two nieces and two nephews, and three great nieces and two great nephews.  I feel old when I talk about them.  They are absolutely the sweetest people. I also have two grand dogs, Sam and Yadi.  We used to have two dogs, Shadow and Cookie, but they both passed over the rainbow bridge.  I miss them so very much.

I work at a high school, and sometimes find my job so boring it brings me to tears.  I enjoy seeing students everyday, and honestly I really appreciate my kids after seeing what a lot of families have to go through.   My hobbies are scrapbooking, sewing, photography, and playing music.  I would like to excel at all of these hobbies, but even though I have lots of room for improvement, I still enjoy doing them.

My husband and I met when I was on a Florida vacation with a friend.  His parents thought I kidnapped him and was a serial killer.  I find that extremely disturbing, but they finally realized that I brought no harm to their son.  We were married on a hot July day, and have managed to return to Florida several times in the past years, but oddly never to the same place we met.

I am a Christian, and know that Jesus is my Savior.  He is the one who has given me all my blessings in life, and I am thankful to Him for that.  I have to credit my parents with teaching me about Jesus, and I'm glad I have had the opportunity to tell my own children about Him.  My father is in heaven, and my mother lives with my older sister.  I had two aunts that I loved dearly.  They left us all too soon, but I know we will meet up again some day.  That will be joyous day.

So there you have it.  A brief glimpse into my life and who I am.
