Lisa Allen

  • I’m the one you see walking and reading a book at the same time. If I’m not reading while I’m walking I tend to run into things.

  • I help lead the music at my church.

  • I have two children — Jamie, 5, and Buddy (Nathaniel), 2. Jamie is in kindergarten and is constantly questioning my wisdom. I remind her that I have 17 years of schooling and she responds, “But my teacher is smart, too!”

  • I didn’t learn to ride a bike until I was 12. To this day I blame it on the fact that my parents didn’t get me training wheels.

  • I’m a cartoon junkie.
