Crissa became MsBoyink in July, 1991. The adventure started then, although she didn’t always recognize it. MsBoyink spent several years (and several thousands of dollars) getting educated, earning both a BA Biology (from Hope College) and BS Nursing (GVSU). She enjoyed applying what she studied in her subsequent jobs.

Her greatest learning, however, began with the births of her two children. MsBoyink has been home full-time with the kids ever since, homeschooling and caring for the family.

In addition to life with her family, Crissa spends time hanging and studying with her church “sisters.”  These women have changed who she is, for the better.

Crissa’s hopes for this trip: “Discover more about myself and grow in my relationship with God, my husband and my children.”

She’s also hoping that by living in a smaller “house,” she’ll be a better housekeeper. :)
