My dad as a college student

My mom around the same time.

My parents' wedding April 3rd, 1971. She was 19 and he was 21.

My parents in the late 70's. They had just moved out of the city and were building a house on 34 forested acres on Basl Hill Road. This is a view from the rim of the property.

In 1991, my mom rededicated her life to Christ and was baptized in Mill Creek.

Me with a chipmunk I had caught and tried to keep as a pet. I named him Rainbow and kept him in an old hamster cage. Much to my disappointment, however, he chewed his way through the plastic and escaped.

My sister and I when we were kids.

My sister, Skye. She was always so cute!

Here we were camping in my backyard. Friends were visiting from Eugene, and their parents put up a tent by the creek. Us kids found it a delightful place to play! From left to right: Jennifer, Brooke (me), Erin and my sister, Skye. In the second picture, left to right: Erin, me, Skye, Jennifer.

After founding the Embassy Of Heaven Church, my parents were involved with the construction and maintenance of the 34 acre retreat grounds. For many years, every summer, people would come from all over the country to attend these retreats. Here are three pictures that were taken during this time. I'm not sure exactly how old we were, but I'm guessing I was 15 and my sister was 12 in these pictures. In the last picture, Lucinda Williams is helping Skye wash dishes for the 50-some people that had gathered at that event.

This was the day I was baptized and gave my life to Christ. It was May 4th, 1997 and was performed in Mill Creek by my dad with about 20 witnesses.

In December of 1999, I took a four-day seminar called the Pursuit of Excellence. I'm the girl on the left in the white blouse.

For more than five years, I traveled with a small church group to Expos all over the country. It was at these shows that I realized how much I love sales, and working with people. I'm the one on the left, with Abraham in the background.
