"Humble Beginnings"
By: Christie Schilling (wife of U.S. Rep. Bobby Schilling)
It's been three years since Bobby and I took on this new challenge of campaigning and being a congressional family. From the very beginning, the people of this area have been warm and welcoming. Democrats, Independents, and Republicans alike have made a wonderful and positive impact on our family.
Our family life isn't that different from other families. The obvious difference is the sheer number of us—Bobby and I have 10 wonderful children and two grandchildren. We work hard, we love God, we love America, and we love each other.
