I describe myself as a child of God, a disciple of Christ, a child of the covenant, a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, a mother to five amazing (and sometimes wild) children, an academy graduate, and a military officer. I am perfectly imperfect in every way and I try hard not to worry about how other people might describe me (always working on that). Any articles I write are done in my own free time and are of my own opinion. My writing does not constitute endorsement by any military branch or the Department of Defense.
