About Me
- Christine
- (Hudson Valley area), New York, United States
- Born and raised a country girl in a small town in Southern Oregon, I am the 5th of 7 children. I have a fraternal twin brother who was born just 3 minutes before me(he instead is the “middle child”). On our birthday I like to remind him that I am two hours and fifty-seven minutes older than his is, as he lives on the West Coast, and I live on the East Coast, a three hour time difference. My dad is a cowboy from Oklahoma and my mom is from Northern California. My name means “anointed” and my middle name means “oath of God”. I am a direct descendant of William and Susanna White (through Peregrine White’s line) who came to America aboard the Mayflower. I am primarily English and Cherokee Indian, with a bit of Irish. I am married to a man who loves God and together we have a beloved son, who I consider to be one of the greatest accomplishments of my life.
