Life
After graduating from L-W I went to Illinois State University where I graduated with a BS in Biology and a BS in Medical Technology. I moved to Decatur Ill. for my internship, where I met and married my husband Gerald Botts. In 1984 we moved to Minneapolis Minnesota. I worked in various clinical and research lab jobs.

t adoption was finalized 10 months later. We were led to homeschool all 3 kids, and our oldest is in high school now. Dissecting frogs at the kitchen table is a highlight we all enjoyed!!

These kids only stay short term. I have "retired" from the lab work now. I stay home full time, doing the emergency shelter care, taking care of my family, homeschooling and also doing daycare for my neighbor's 2 kids. I lead a very busy life! God sees me through it all, my faith in Him is very strong and alive. I love my Jesus and follow His path for my life. PTL!
