I have a new new blog, new blog, blog now! Checkitout!
(This is a questionnaire Erika filled out for our church-for now, this will have to do…)
Tell us about your profession or aspiration.
In my previous life, I was an early childhood educator. I loved my work; it was as a teacher that I met my “Spirit Sister” Tracy, and her daughter Hannah who is my spirit daughter (you might have heard Mathias or Colin speak of their “sister” Hannah.)
Tell us about your family.
My folks live in Long Beach. I grew up there right on the water. It was great, although I must admit I was almost 23 before I saw snow come out of the sky! I am partnered with Eric, my soulmate and we have two deliciously blond boys Mathias 7 and Colin 5!
Who or what brought you to UUFLB and when was it?
We moved from Long Beach where we were members of UUCLB and moved here to “The OC” to be closer to Eric’s work. UUFLB was the first of the 3 UU churches we went to. As soon as we sat down both Eric and I looked at each other and said “this is it!”
What are some of your hobbies or interests?
I really like sleeping and reading books of all kinds.
What are some of your favorite activities at UUFLB?
I do enjoy all my service here. I look forward to ministering to the Youth. I am blessed by my work with the Congregational Care team.
What is interesting about you that few people now have heard?
I learned how to smoke cigarettes at Girl Scout camp.
