I'm Melanie, Dick and Adorae's #3 daughter.  My husband Steve and I live in Fallbrook, CA and our three boys are all out on their own.  

 

Jonathan lives in Long Beach and works for the Gap.  Justin is attending Westminster Theological Seminary in Philadelphia, working toward his Masters.  Taylor is in his 4th year at Cal State University Long Beach and will go one more year to get a teaching credential.  

 

Steve works in operations at the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station.  I'm a part-time accounting instructor at Cal State University San Marcos.  I'm teaching 14 units this spring, and 10 of those were added at short notice, so I've been swamped with preparations.  I'm hoping to get back to normal soon.  

 

"Normal" is teaching part time, doing bookkeeping, tax and payroll service for small businesses, leading women's Bible studies and participating in the worship band at our church.  I miss having the boys around.  They kept us pretty busy with sports and other activities.
