About us

SHAE Age: 40
Shae grew up in Florida with his parents and younger brother and sister. He loved to fish and hunt. He played sports, but liked being in the woods a lot more. He worked hard at different jobs until graduation, when he went in the Army National Guard. After two years of service and college, he decided to go active duty in the Navy. After scoring very high on a language test, he became an Arabic linguist and then Spanish linguist for the Navy. That is where he met his wife, Sheri. They married during their school in Monterey, CA.
She was also in the Navy. He transferred to TX, CA, and lastly, Key West, FL. After having two kids, spending time on a Naval Vessel, he got out of the Navy and began working at an electric company in WI. They moved to MO where he did some drywall and then was unable to work because of his Trigeminal Neuralgia. When the pain went into a remission, he began working for a company installing telecommunications equipment and continued in that field for many years. He transitioned to engineer and began working from home. This was very beneficial for him since his pain would re-occur often until it got to a point that it did not go away. He had 5 surgeries through the VA; the last one working. It was a brain surgery. Now he is almost totally numb on one side of his head. He continues to engineer from the camper as they travel. He enjoys four wheeling, kayaking, and most of all - spending time with his family. His family loves him dearly. He has an incredible sense of humor that keeps them all laughing.

SHERI Age: 37
Sheri grew up in Northern WI with her parents and older sister. She loved to be outdoors and helping her father with hunting, trapping, fishing, and bricklaying. Her mother taught her to garden and put food up for the winter. She spent her time outside, playing basketball, and doing ballet. She moved twice in high school and graduated early. At this time she went in the Navy and became an Arabic linguist and then Spanish linguist. She met her husband in Monterey, CA where they got married and decided to have children right away. After having her first child, Cody, she knew her heart was for her children. With wonderful wishes from her Commander, the Navy honorably discharged her. She enjoyed being home with her children and has kept having more and more of them. She knows she is meant to be a wife and mother and is very proud of it. Being more than capable and strong of heart, she has endured much and come out victorious. She attempts to write as often as possible.

A LITTLE HISTORY ON US.....

I, Sheri, grew up in Northern Wisconsin. I have an older sister that I love dearly. She and I had an interesting life, that to us seemed totally normal. We grew up chopping and hauling wood most everyday. We gardened with mom all summer to put food up for the coming winter. We fished and hunted every kind of animal we could. We helped dad with his tools, he was a mason. We had a hard life, in the north woods, but a good one. My mom taught us to love each other and be kind to others, even those that were unkind to us. We learned to be tough and handle hard times. I remember taking ballet classes for all the years we lived there and then going home to help dad skin beavers. Mom taught me to be a lady despite all of the hard work. I do believe she is the smartest woman I know. She can skin a deer, fillet 200 crappie in a day, lay carpet, carve marble bowls, and still act and look like a lovely woman. I hope I can do just a portion of what she does and as well as she does it.

I left home early, joined the Navy. I knew college wasn't for me. I partied a lot and didn't want to waste my dad's money. I wanted to make it a career. I had been taught I could do anything and do it well. But, surprisingly, I met the most wonderful man my fifth day at my first school. He had seen me my first day in Monterrey, CA at the Defense Language Institute. He saw me walk down the aisle of the auditorium. He said he knew he wanted to get to know me. We became good friends, and before long we knew we were meant to be together. We got married three months later. I know now that God really had a plan for us. Neither of us knew it at the time, but looking back, I know he sent Shae to me for so many reasons. I am so thankful for him. We decided to have a baby right away, so I got pregnant 4 months later. After having my first child, Cody, I did not want to be in the Navy anymore. I knew my true calling was to be a wife and mom. I was able to get out and spend my time with my family. I am very proud to have served in the military.

Shae was still in the Navy. We lived all over the country, he went out to sea, and finally got out. We moved to WI and then MO. He stayed in the communications field and has now advanced to be an engineer. He was extremely ill for many years, but is well now. We have had five more children and love them all dearly. Six is our number, and no, we don't plan on having more. I was really sick this past pregnancy, so it is not a good idea for me to get pregnant again. I would love more, but just now it is time for my body to stop.

Shae grew up in Florida. He has a younger sister and brother. He also grew up learning the necessity of hard work and integrity. His father taught him to take care of his tools and his tools will help take care of him. Shae is a hard worker and a good steward of all that we own. He keeps things running well and can repair most anything. His mother is a wonderful Christian woman. She taught Shae right and wrong and the truth of the things of God. Shae always says that when he was young that when he chose to do wrong, he knew it was wrong, he wasn't ignorant of his wrong actions. He worked various jobs earning money to help pay for all he needed. He hunted and fished a lot with his buddies. He took two years of college where he says he didn't learn much. He joined the Army National Guard and then went active duty Navy. That is when I met him. Neither of us had submitted our lives to God. We finally did at different times in our marriage. Now, we live our lives for Him. It is so much better. We have done so much, but the best is when we do it with God.
