About Me
After I graduated from the Way Corps in '82 went to Miami, Florida. Moved to Portland Oregon in '88 and havee been here ever since. Jeff Probasco and I have a daughter, Anna, born in '89. I am now married to Payson Dulaney for 15 years and we have two boys. Nicholas who is 15 and Daniel who is 11. I absolutely love the Northwest! I've lived in Spokane, Wa; Seattle, Wa and now Portland. I love to travel but will always call this place home. My parents and 8 brothers and sisters also live in the NW.
I attend a small Foursquare Church. I just feel like a number when I go to these large churches that have thousands of attendees. I feel like I can't quite find "my place". The church that I attend now (and have for the last 8 years), is very intimate and feels like "home".
Before I found the Aloha Faith Center, my Mary Kay unit meetings was "my Church". I got very close to some of the women that I knew and who are wonderful believers that encouraged me to get involved with people and showed me how God is working in me to reach out. Amazing where God will show his face! He is such a wonderful Father!
My Interests
Bible study, read voraciously, walking, sports mom - football, basketball, soccer and baseball, coffee shop junkie, movies
Employment or Career
Customer Service for Main ST Software which produces software for Mary Kay Cons
and I' m also a Mary Kay Consultant
Music I Like
Not too fond of rapp, although I appreciate the talent of some rapp stars. Other than rapp, I listen to EVERYTHING! My music download files is ridiculously huge and organized by year and genre. Although, my dad and mom had me download a few artist I hadn't heard of like "Bunny Berrigan".
Books I Like
Love Nicholas Sparks novels. Also who dunnits like James Patterson.....
Read Lord of the Rings trilogy 4 times in highschool and during my "pregnant" years read every Star Wars novel I could find.
Pick up a classic everyonce in awhile. Love Dickens, Bronte, Austen.....
Television I like
Not sure I even like television
Movies I like
I like any movie that has a worthy point and doesn't end sad. There's enough sad in the real world that I don't need to be entertained by it.
Sports Teams I like
Whatever my boys like. I enjoy watching them get excited or banter back and forth with "who's the best". We mostly watch football and basketball then baseball. Golf and soccer sometimes.

Please say hello to your parents from Gary and Lori Elliott. I can't tell you the significance of the example those two set for Lori and I.
That dad of yours treated me with respect, love and dignity when I was still just a boy really. I will never forget him treating me the way he did. I love that guy. Please tell him I said so.
Thanks Tricia- Gary
It is always great to hear from you. I haven’t been on much lately either.
Busy, busy, busy you know. I need to blog more but I am dong so much other writing I have little time or energy for blogging. You are a wonderful person and the world is a better place because you are in it.
As always with love,

We have one child who has spawned directly and indirectly, (6) grand kids. They are all great and like I said, we get to keep them alot. We live really close and for some reason they love staying out at our place in the country. Maybe becasue we spoil them like crazy! But we knwo it won't last as they get older. Loggins and Messina have a great DVD available of a concert in Santa Barbara called "Sittin in again." It is really good and I highly recommend it. Hope you get to feeling better!

Great to hear from you...its been an awful long time... I've been in Nashville longer than anywhere else now. Gave up the music biz and have been running a small window cleaning business here. Have 8 trucks running and about 15 employees. Doing fairly well. Looking at the pix on the "Pressed Down" my space is proof I had hair and was thin at one time. Everything being said, life is good and our grandkids are great and nearby... We get to see them alot and they are a true joy. I can't believe I am listening to the Commodores while I am writing this! Great to hear form you! Blessings!!!

Thank you for your kind note. I am blessed to hear that you are still persuing the things of God. I have told countless people that "Jean-Louis" would be a great name for their child, but I don't think too many people have taken me up on it!
I always remember you as a sweet,loving sister in Christ. Stay sweet.
Lori
