about me

 Welcome to life with Karla. I was initially diagnosed with Breast Cancer 2007. Treated with a lumpectomy, Radiation and Chemotherapy. My July 2009 mammogram showed new Cancer. I'm recovering now from a bilateral mastectomy with breast reconstruction at the same time.. Some days are better than others but I must say that my recovery has been very good, no complications !!!! I give God all the GLORY for that.

I live in the Ozarks with my family. We are a very large and  complex group of  strong  personalities and insanity  and that is what makes my life so full of wonderment!! 


I'm going thur many phases in life with grown children, grand children and the youngest one at home as a senior in High School!! 


I still have a passion for the career that I have chosen almost 20 years ago!!  Nursing inspires me to live my life to the fullest.  When I'm not at work or on the lake with my family i love to scrapbook but most recently photography is my newest interest!!



April 2011 I was diagnosed yet again with Cancer. I believe that God has a reason and a plan. I don't have all the answers but I have faith that will give me strength to fight this battel once again.
