Anna's Bio:
I was born in Arkansas, into a very conservative, Christian family. I have 7 brothers and we were all homeschooled, and several of my brothers who are still at home are still being homeschooled. Music was always a HUGE part of our lives as my dad was a percussionist and my mom had a Bachelors
in Music and could play the piano and violin at concert level and could sing wonderfully, and therefore taught us all how to sing and read music.
I graduated in 2003 where instead of going to college, I pursued a new interest and went into Emergency Services - I became an EMT and a Volunteer Firefighter and I enjoyed ES immensely for a year or two. That's when I met my husband to be, he was also homeschooled in the exact same homeschool program and the Lord allowed us to accidentally meet online through that program. In 2005 we started dating, and then I joined the Life Action Ministries and he joined the military - the US Coast Guard. We dated long distance from 2005-2006 and then got married October of 2006.
We promptly moved to Maine where my husband was stationed and we spent almost three years there. We started trying to get pregnant in 2008 and soon discovered it might be a long process. In the midst of trying, we moved to Minnesota in 2009 where my husband is originally from and spent a couple of years. The Lord allowed us to get pregnant finally in 2011 and we had a beautiful baby girl, Cassandra (Cassie) Faith who is now two years old. We moved to Florida in 2012 and spent a year and a half there with some extended family. And in the meantime had another beautiful baby girl, Brianna (Bri) Grace who is now 7 months old. We just recently moved back to my home town of Conway where hopefully we will be permenantly.
I am also an avid "makeup geek" - I have dabbled in freelance makeup artistry and hope to pick it back up soon. I am self taught, and love learning all the new trends and all about new products and techniques.
We are excited to be back in Conway and seeing where the Lord has us!
