Hi, my name is Krista Pursley. I have been married for 7 years to
a man named Stephen. All together we have 6 children and 3 grandchildren.
I am a part-time student at OU taking 11 credit hours, but I am also taking
a 3 credit hour Trigonometry class at OCCC. At OU, I am taking the
following courses: Research Methods II, Psychology Capstone, Mythology &
Folklore, and I am a TA (teacher assistant) for a PSY1113 class. My graduation date is scheduled for this May
where I will be receiving my Bachelor's degree in Psychology.
I am a full-time foster parent & mom as well. Since I became a foster parent in March of 2009, my husband and I have fostered approximately 35 children. We will be adopting one of the children this February and will adopt a second foster child in the near future. In a few days, we will also become legal guardians to a wonderful 15-year-old girl. My goal for after graduation is to secure a job as a foster care worker for either DHS or through a private organization.
The main hobby that my family and I participate in is called the SCA (Society for Creative Anachronism). For anyone who does not know about this group, we dress up in medieval style clothing and reenact the Middle Ages. In addition to the people in our household, we have 4 cats named Blizzard, Thumper, Luna & Snickers. My favorite TV shows are House, Law & Order: SVU, The Walking Dead & Castle. However, I rarely get to watch TV anymore because of my family’s hectic schedule.
Over the Christmas holiday break, my family spent a lot of time together doing arts & craft projects, going to Christmas parties, and reorganizing and deep cleaning the house. That last part was pretty boring though! If I had the time and energy, I would love to spend my “free” time making jewelry, sewing clothing, working out & getting back into shape, dancing and croqueting.
