I originally posted this bio when my daughter was 19 and she is almost 29 now; so this is the 2025 update. I was also recovering from a life altering accident that nearly took my life.

Time has moved on. I am happy to report that I am now able to walk using one cane and in my own home, I often don't even use one at all. I got a divorce from my then husband, he just couldn't handle my accident. At the time I felt like my heart had been ripped out of my chest and just stomped all over however, in time I realized that it was exactly the opposite. I met and fell in love with a wonderful man who treats me like a Queen! In fact I never really realized just how badly that I was treated in my first marriage until I met my current husband. God absolutely knows what he is doing in our lives even though sometimes when we are going through them it may not seem like it at first.

Anyway, back to my update...I just wanted to let the Hanson.net Family know that it was my daughter who did indeed get me into liking Hanson.  I keep a membership just in case she wants to go to a concert or Hanson Day.  That way, as she has high functioning autism, I can go with her because she tends to feel more comfortable if I do.

Below, I have left my original bio "as is" as because I believe that it helps you to understand how I came to be a Hanson fan and just how far back the love of Hanson goes in our family. Thanks for listening! 

"My daughter, at two years old, used to run around the kitchen in her shiny nightgown singing the song Mmmbop.  She is now 19 years old, was the first Hanson fan in our family and Mmmbop is  STILL her favorite song.  She begged me at 3 years old to take her to go see Hanson; so when she had just turned 4, I took her to see Hanson perform on the This Time Around Tour.  It was her second day of preschool and she was so happy.  I can just remember her looking at me and saying, "Mommy, they are real."   Up until that point in time, she didn't realize that those things that you see on TV could also be real. It was a life changing realization  and Hanson was that defining object for her. It was pretty magical to watch her figure it out. I will never forget it.

Anyway,   I am a mom first, who yes, has come to really appreciate the true musicianship of Hanson.  And, I feel especially close to Zac, because he reminds me of the boy version of my daughter.  They are just so random and strange; but extremely talented and oh so creative.  I am also going through the hardest year of my life.  I suffered a life-altering accident in February 2014.   I could have died; at the very least, I shouldn't be able to ever walk again.  But,  I guess that God just wasn't ready for me yet.  I have a long way to go in my recovery but, I have made so much progress and even though it is so painful and everyday is a challenge, I am determined to get my life back.  In the meantime,  I  feel so very blessed to have a wonderful support system around me to help me throughout my recovery.  So, I just want to say THANK YOU to my daughter for introducing me to Hanson, and for being so persistent that I listen to them they are so incredibly talented on so many levels and seem to care immensely  about their fans;  Go Hanson.net Members!

I look forward to getting to know some of you better, especially you mom's out there."
