In a past life, she spent her time milking backyard goats, raising chickens, and tending a 4,000 sq.ft. vegetable garden, but she now spends her time putzing around suburbia, driving her kids to band practices, cross country meets, and soccer games. Rebecca is an avid reader, usually makes the playoffs in her fantasy football league (but absolutely never wins), and cooks up a pretty mean Taco Tuesday. She is passionate about Jesus, her family, her church, and the Oxford comma.
