Comments: Life is wonderful. Everything good that has happened to me has happened as a result of my serving a mission. I met Craig Northrup at BYU and we got married 23 years ago. We have 6 children. The oldest are twin girls. One is currently serving a mission in the Washington, Everett mission and the other is engaged to be married in the Los Angeles Temple in December 2010. Our oldest son just turned 19 and is preparing to go on a mission soon. The other three children are busy with school and church activities. We have been greatly blessed.
I never thought I would live in southern California but we have been here for 20 years. I was a stay-home mom for 15 years then started working as an instructional assistant in a Special Ed. class for emotionally handicapped children. I have been working for five years to get my California teaching credential and will begin looking for teaching jobs soon. I know the Lord will help me as he has helped me with everything else he has asked me to do. The church and my testimony have been the foundation of my life. I am so thankful to know God lives and that we have a living prophet to guide us.
