Arleen King
My educational background is in business. I attended the University of Southern Nevada in Las Vegas while my husband was in the USAF. We moved back to Colorado in 2001 after my husband retired from the Air Force. After moving here I enrolled in Colorado's Early Childhood Education program. I have also attended various Montessori workshops in Boulder, Colorado.
I have over 4 years experience working with children. I started out volunteering in my children's preschool and elementary classrooms. I also taught religious education at Our Lady of Visitation in Elizabeth, Colorado. I loved the experience and rewards so much that I volunteered at my son's preschool, eventually became a teacher's assistant and then a teacher three years later.
My husband Mark along with my daughter, Ariana, and son, Derek make up my busy family. My husband works numerous hours at United Airlines and my children keep me going because of all their extracurricular activities after school and on weekends.
My hobbies include reading, landscaping, music and camping with my family in Colorado's beautiful mountain locations.
Something significant about me is I learned to play the Alto Saxophone in Junior High and have since continued to practice and enjoy playing. My husband plays the trumpet and guitar. My 83 year old dad and I get together sometimes and play old standards. We also enjoy big band, jazz and easy listening music. We love to attend the jazz concerts in our mountain communities.
The quote that has inspired me the most is from the bible,"You reap what you sow." This quote is always in the back of my mind for relationships, life's works and when I look into the eyes of children.
The one person who has been most inspirational to me is my husband Mark. We support and assist each other in all of our endeavors. We are a partnership and this teamwork has gotten us to where we are today. We will celebrate our 30th Anniversary next year.

My husband Tony and I have been married for 19 years. We have two beautiful children. My daughter McKinlie is 13 and my son Porter is 9.
I enjoy reading, spending time outdoors, camping with my family, shopping and having people in my home.
If I could live anywhere in the world I would live in Colorado. I love that we have four seasons and the mountains are like a little piece of Heaven to me. Although, I wouldn't mind living part of that time in France.
Something about me that is significant or unique is that I worked on the set of Extreme Home Makeover. I worked with Ty Pennington on the special project for the house. I also got to work with one of the artists. When I was in college I went on a mission trip to London. I love helping people.
My favorite quote is actually a scripture, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me" Phil.4:13.
The persons who have been the most inspirational in my life are my mother and my grandmother. My mother has always told me I can do anything in life that I set my mind to do. And my grandmother has always been there for me.

I grew up in Ontario, Canada and have lived in Michigan, Texas, Arizona and now Colorado. I have to say that of all the places that I have lived, Colorado is my favorite. I love the beautiful mountain views, the snowy winters, the warm, dry summers and best of all; I love that the sun shines nearly every day of the year! I only wish that I had family that lived close.
I am happy to share that I overcame breast cancer four years ago. I was diagnosed when my oldest daughter was in kindergarten. It was the fiercest battle of my life. I believe that when you are facing various trials in life, how your respond to those difficult situations locates where you are at and reveals exactly what you are made of. I am tremendously grateful to be able to stand along side my husband today and raise our three beautiful children. I try to appreciate my life as though it were the gift that it is.
My relationship with God and the bible has had a powerful impact on my life and I have many favorite scriptures, but one of my very favorites is Mark 11:22 - 25 "Have faith in God, Jesus answered. I tell you the truth, if anyone says to this mountain, 'Go, throw yourself into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart but believes that what he says will happen, it will be done for him. Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive him, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins."
The one person that has been most inspirational in guiding me toward my goals and through life's toughest challenges is my mom. She has always been a very hard working, generous, resilient and strong woman of God. My mom taught me how to never accept defeat and to never, ever give up. I am incredibly grateful for her profound influence on my life.

Listening to music is calming to me. I can't live a day without it! Of course spending time and playing with my family is awesome. I also enjoy decorating our home.
If I could live anywhere in the world, I would live right here in Colorado. I know my answer may sound ordinary, but I love that we have family here and dear friends here. And you can't beat the weather or being able to go to the mountains, I feel like I'm in another world.
My family is Italian, so I would love to go to Italy sometime. Going there would be special and memorable.

I have worked with children throughout my life in different capacities. Growing up I spent most of my free time babysitting. In college I was a nanny to a wonderful little boy. During the past 6 years I have been a stay at home mom with my three young children. I started volunteering in my children's classes during their early preschool years, and still love to do this. Through the Junior League of Denver I spent 3 years working on programs to benefit women and young children. Last year I started a company called the "ABC's of Health and Nutrition" where I teach Health and Nutrition to 4-6 year olds.
I am happy to say that my husband and I will celebrate our 10 year anniversary this year! We have been blessed with three amazing children: Chase will be 6 this summer, Maddie will be 4 and Hannah will be 2.
I love to do anything athletic! I love running, yoga, swimming, skiing, hiking, playing tennis, and camping. I love to be outdoors and I love to spend time with my family. Experiencing the world with my children and seeing things from their perspective is one of the most amazing gifts I could receive.
If I could live anywhere in the world it would be on a beach in Kuaui. My husband and I went there for our honeymoon and it is the most beautiful place I have ever visited. There is so much to do, the weather is amazing, and living by the ocean has always been a dream of mine!
Despite my love for athletics and the outdoors, I have severe allergies to almost everything that blooms! During High School I started to have "Exercise Induced Analphylaxis". I ended up in the emergency room 13 times during my final Cross Country season before I was forced to stop running outdoors. Over the past 17 years I have struggled with finding ways that I can do the things that I love outdoors, without having an anaphylactic reaction. My husband and I have been able to climb 7 of Colorado's Fourteeners, and I am hoping to run my first Half Marathon this year.
My favorite two quotes are "Don't ever put off until tomorrow what can be done today." And "Carpe Diem". When you think about it, life is short, and there is so much to experience. I want to live life to the fullest every day, and I love the feeling of being completely exhausted when I go to bed. Then I know that I got everything out of the day that I could.
The person who has inspired me the most is my husband Sean. He was my best friend long before we started dating, and he still is. With his love and support I know that anything is possible.
