About Lauri and Sasha

Lauri was South Dakota born and raised, and then transplanted to the beautiful state of Alabama after marrying her high school sweetheart, Larry. Together they have raised four wonderful children and are enjoying the blessings of being grandparents. Lauri is a registered nurse who has devoted her nursing career primarily to Labor and Delivery and Mother/Baby nursing. She loves traveling, reading, health and fitness, artistic endeavors, and spending time with family. A longtime writer of journals that date all the way back to high school, she finds putting her thoughts and ideas into writing to be therapeutic and extremely helpful in processing the past, present, and future in the journey through life.

Sasha was born in Odessa, Ukraine and transplanted first to Birmingham, Alabama when she was adopted at the age of almost eleven, and then to South Dakota when she married her husband, Dalton. They live on the plains of South Dakota and are engaged in farming. They are excited to be expecting their first child in February of 2023. Sasha has written and spoken publicly of her experience in Ukrainian orphanages and of being adopted to the United States. She loves animals, health and beauty topics, traveling, cooking, and any new adventure.

Together, as mother and daughter, they have shared much. God is so good as He continues to bless them in the many different seasons of life!
