"While I moved around quite a bit growing up (So Cal, Seattle, Indianapolis, Burlington, VT, and Kailua, HI), I have lived in Mount Vernon, WA, about an hour north of Seattle, for the last 18 years. I have an amazing 12 year old daughter who is embracing opportunities in middle school to try new things like debate and volleyball. She is my rock and source of constant inspiration. My family and friends are very important to me, and I have always been lucky to be able to travel to see them all over the country. I am a National Board Certified Teacher, and have taught in CA, HI and WA for 25 years. I have a passion for learning and teaching that I hope others find contagious. I love to cook healthy meals from scratch, although I struggle to follow exact recipes. I also love to do yoga, day hiking, swimming and interval strength training at the gym to keep my mind and body strong. I find jigsaw puzzles and laying in the sun to be my most calming and meditative activities. I have so much to give and am ready to receive the same from the one who will finally be able to keep up with my awesome."

"I am Kristi. I have 5 kids ages 24, 22, 20, 18, and 10 years old. I am blessed to have been able to be and still be a Stay at Home Mom for 24 1/2 years. We have 3 dogs - a 7-year-old Chinook and 2 1-year old Brittany Spaniels, a cat, and a chinchilla. When I am not busy with the house, the kids, or the pets, I like to help out at my daughter's school and am on the committee for the charity event for Shepherd's Hope, a local nonprofit that provides healthcare to the uninsured. In my pre-kids life, I was an officer in the Navy for four years and taught at the Naval Nuclear Power School. After that, I taught high school math until my oldest daughter was born. For fun, I love to read, watch movies, see Broadway shows, sing and dance along to songs, and visit the beach to sit, shell hunt, and bogey board. I am working hard on connecting back to myself and exploring different paths I might follow."
