ABOUT ANGIE
As a former teen parent, Angie didn't learn life's toughest lessons in a classroom, she lived them.Her goal is to share her lessons from divorce, single parenting and step parenting in the hope that others find, as she has, the road ahead can be better than the one behind. After dropping out of high school at age 15, she earned her general education diploma from a nearby community college.Five years later she returned to that same college to earn her Associates degree, and later earned her Bachelors degree, all while raising three children on her own.
Angie met Darren in 1998 and they were married in 2001 in an intimate ceremony on the Oregon Coast. They have five children combined (at the time 5-15 years old), all living under one roof. While they expected the first year or two to be hard, they had no idea it would take nearly FIVE years before they really felt like a family. Angie is a committed community volunteer and enjoys reading, traveling and family camping trips.
