Hello and welcome to my site, Precious Places, pages
which include people, places and issues important in my
life. My husband and I, who have been married almost
nineteen years reside in Illinois with our four wonderful
children. My interests and hobbies include reading,
crocheting, needlepoint and crossword puzzles.I also take guided correspondence courses through the University of Iowa. I love collecting Precious Moments figurines and oh yes, I do like cats*S*. My husband has worked at Mitsubishi Motors for the past 10 years. His interests include reading, gardening and taking the kids fishing. We are
involved in our children's lives and enjoy doing many
activities with them and attending their many sports and
school related activities. For our summer vacations we
like to travel and rent a cabin by the lake or ocean and
our favorite states are Maine, Michigan and Wisconsin.
I am a stay at home mother to our four children who include:
-
David, who has just entered his first year of college at Eastern Illinois University. He is majoring in Biological Sciences with plans of going into a career in wildlife and fisheries. His favorite hobby is fishing. We are very proud of our son.
-
Katie, our 11 year old who is entering the 6th grade. Katie also loves
participating in sports such as soccer, basketball and
softball. Her other interests include reading, art and animals. Katie really enjoys the Harry Potter book series.
-
Bridget, our seven year old is entering the 2nd grade. She is our little "princess" and
loves dressing up in her pretty little dresses and jewelry.
She also loves books,
coloring, dancing and singing.Bridget loves to read and does very well for her grade level.

Megan, our youngest is five and is entering Kindergarten this year!
She loves to play outside and help her dad in the garden.
Her favorite shows are Rugrats, Winnie the Pooh and
Blues Clues. She also enjoys books, coloring and doing
her gymnastics through the house.

We are very proud of our children and they bring us lots
of joy and excitement. We also share our house with our
cats Whiskers and Bear.Parenting is hard work, but brings with it many rewards and happiness! Follow my links below to find many resources on parenting and visit Pooh's playhouse to find some good links for the kids.

Even though my life has been blessed greatly, for the last
16 years I have suffered from a condition known as panic
disorder. For many of these years I suffered alone, not
quite understanding what was going on, but after meeting
many fine people on the internet who also have panic
disorder and anxiety disorders I have found I need not
face this condition alone. With further advances in
medical treatments, therapy and lots of faith and prayer I
have begun to get better and improve the quality of my
life. I have a ways to go before I consider myself cured
but know I need not face this alone! If you or someone
you know suffers from panic disorder or any other
anxiety related disorder please read my anxiety and panic
disorder pages which will lead you to lots of good
information and very supportive people. You need not
suffer through this alone. Please feel free to e-mail me
also if there are any questions or if you would just like to
talk with someone.
