New Home

On March 24, our family became homeowners!! Our new home is just over 2600 sq ft and sits on acre, just outside the city limits. We have a beautiful yard with lots of trees! We even have a "neighborhood fox" back there! We have lots of flowers, however I know nothing about gardening, I am going to have to ask for help on these. They are all just green stems right now, I can't wait to see what kind of flowers we have! We have 4 bedrooms, 4 baths, and 4 garages! Joe is thrilled to finally have his own workshop. The kids have big bedrooms and our oldest son is finally able to have his own room! Something he hasn't had since his little sister was born, 13 years ago. Everyday I thank God for blessing us with a wonderful, safe, beautiful home! Having spent many years as a single Mom, living in tiny apartments with 4 kids in questionable neighborhoods, I could not be more thankful for this amazing gift from God!!

New Position

Iowa Troop Pantry has become their own non profit organization!! I could not be more proud of the hard work and dedication the Tyson Family has displayed! To help make this organization be successful they have enlisted the help of some of the volunteers, I am very honored they asked me to be the Event Coordinator for Iowa Troop Pantry! I am looking forward to finding events in our community to promote supporting our soldiers! Thank you ITP for allowing me to be involved!
