2021-03-19 14:05:16 UTC

I grew up in a small town in northern Iowa. When I first moved to the Lakewood/ Littleton area, I felt overwhelmed by the vastness -- the volume of people -- but over the years I've discovered all the little communities that live inside big communities: my neighborhood, my high school students, my school, my kids' schools, etc.

Family and being in nature, especially the mountains
