I was born in Johnson City, New York, as a special honeymoon surprise to my parents, who were at the time attending a local college in Binghamton, New York.

Within two years, my family moved to Farley, New Mexico.  There, I learned many important things like how to dress myself and to ride a horse.  I also learned what it is like to have a little sister in the family.

When I was five, my family once again moved.  This time to Bangor, California.  Here, I started school.  The town was very small, so there were only 100 students in the local elementary school.  There were four classes, and four teachers.  Each class taught 2 grades, and the principal of the school taught the 7th and 8th grades.  Here was where I learned to ride a bicycle (or should I say fall off).  I have many scars from these adventures.  It was here that a second sister arrived.  

My next move took me to Rural Grove, New York.  This was another very small town situated on a cul-de-sac.  This was where I finished my elementary education (Canajoharie Elementary School) and discovered the piano.  Here, I also gained a 3rd sister.  

  For Junior High School, my family again moved about 30 miles down the road, where I attended Fonda-Fultonville Middle School.  Here, I began swimming competitively, achieved academic awards, and started to notice boys.  I also began playing piano in the church about this time  

  My high school career found our family moving again, this time to Pennsylvania.  I continued to excel in school, choir, band.  I enjoyed working on the the yearbook staff, the student council and the honor society.  

  For college, I decided to continue the mobile tradition and moved to Chattanooga, Tennessee, where I studied Secondary Education, and Mathematics.  

  During my sophomore year of college, I realized that I also liked drama.  So, I decided to minor in communication.  This year also brought a very special someone into my life who would change it forever.... 

    By the time I graduated from Tennessee Temple University, I knew my life would never be the same.  I was desperately in love.  After Graduation, I moved to Rochester, New York, where Eric and I began an "official courtship" after 3 years of dating long distance.

1982, I became Mrs. Eric Warren.  Six months later, we moved yet again to Kansas City,  Missouri, where Eric attended Calvary Bible College.

  In 1984, I became "mommy" for the first time.  Jeremy David was born in September 1984. 

    In 1985, I began teaching at Muncie Christian School.  I have great memories of the three years I spent at Muncie.  I directed 3 plays, taught, Math and Science courses, and I had the privilege of being Senior Class sponsor in 1988.  Many wonderful friendships were made during this time.

  In  1986, I found myself being called "mommy" a second time.  Timothy Daniel ("Danny") was born on October 11, 1984.  Both of my children are a special delight to me.  Each has his own special personality.  And each is a wonderful addition to my life.

    In 1989, we moved again.  This time, however, it wasn't to another part of the country.  We moved 10,000 miles to Brazil.  It took 18 months to adapt completely to the culture and grasp the language.  After that, I found myself quite at home there.  I have many wonderful memories of this time in my life.  I will never forget the great friends we made there.  I feel like most of my heart is still there with my many very special friends.

Our last move, so far, brought us back to Kansas City in 1995.  We soon purchased a house, Jeremy and Danny adapted quickly to life in the US and the Raytown School District.  Eric returned to college to get his Masters Degree in ESL, and I found myself an excellent position with Hallmark Cards.

This is the story of my life so far.  It is not complete.  Check  back soon, as the saga continues to unfold.
