| Past 30 years huh? The condensed version.
Went to college in Minnesota after high school. Got a chance
to go to Brazil for 6 weeks through the college.
Married Jerry Harris in 1977. Had Ruth Anne in 1978. Elizabeth
in 1980. Moved between Calif and Minn for Jerry to finish
school and intern to be missionaries in Portugal. God changed
all that and we moved back to Texas in 1984. Six months
later, Jerry was drowned in a boating accident.
Married Mike O’Toole in 1985. Had Heather in 1986,
Daniel in 1987 and Sarah in 1989. So far, we’re batting
four red heads and one blonde. Found out Mike was a bad
guy and left Texas in Dec. 1989.
Moved to Or because we had come into contact with some
Christians there. Had been trying to sell and move to Salem
for about 6 months already. Lived here with all five kids
by the grace of God.
Married Mark Mitchell in 1996—Great Day!! Had Melissa
in 1997and Christopher in 2000. One brunette mix—have
to pay bucoo bucks to get hair with as many streaks as hers.
And Christopher who is light brown with red lights.
Now have Ruth Anne married to Josh Heneveld. Heather is
married to Kenny Anderson. Liz is in the Air Force finishing
off year 6 this Dec.—Then moving back by Mom I hope.
I am rich in friends and family. No grandkids yet, but I
know I’ll get some sometime—can’t wait!!
Growing in faith and confidence in God’s love and
care for us. The future is so bright and when I hear from
everybody, it strengthens me to see how God has cared for
us over all these years.
