1. Hello! Welcome to my slide show. This will be a brief snapshot into my life! I’ll try to sum up the major points!

2. I’ll start by introducing my wonderful husband Dan ! He is truly my very best friend and we enjoy doing so many things together…. A few of them are in the pictures that you see! (band chaperoning, biking in Colorado, going to B&B’s across the country, and my personal favorite, going to beaches!

4. Beautiful moment for a mom…. dancing with my son Nathan at his wedding! We’re so proud of our daughter-in-law, Dr. Amanda Shotts, D.V.M. Another happy and proud moment…my son Jonathan’s graduation from college! And this is my beautiful daughter Amanda!! (yes, there are two Amanda Shotts in our family!)

5. And here is the rest of the family……

6. One of the recent highlights of my life was a trip to Guatemala with my husband. He works for Camino Global and we had the privilege of visiting missionaries and experiencing firsthand part of this ministry to Spanish speaking peoples of the world. These pictures capture some of the highlights – Casita Benjamin, Lake Atitlan, Seteca, Santiago, and Antigua.

7. I’ve been privileged to be a music educator for over 30 years! I’ve had a private piano studio, taught elementary music, as well as middle school and high school choir! These jobs have involved multiple recitals, concerts, competitions, and trips, all of which have allowed me the opportunity to invest in the lives of my students.
