Colleen Maree Novak bio, as told by her favorite cousin:

Colleen Maree Novak was born on a hot, August day. The 20th to be exact. Added to the long list of Lebert and Novak cousins, one would think she would have been swallowed up by the sheer size of her family. Nope, not this girl. She grabbed her jar of pickles and her sticks of cream cheese-probably before she could learn to chew- and grabbed life by the horns (is that how the saying goes?)

Colleen started her education at St. George. This small school is where she learned to make friends with anyone and everyone, whether they liked it or not. After St. George she survived the halls of Lincoln Way East and then moved on to Joliet Junior College. To further her education, she enjoyed the next few years at Illinois State. While figuring out her path in life she even managed to fit a semester away in Spain.

Somewhere in the middle of her 3,000 years of college she met Theo, became an elementary teacher, bought a house, and got engaged. To wrap this cute little bio up, Colleen now resides with her future husband in Elwood, IL. When she is not working on her second master’s degree and educating 25 crazy little humans, she enjoys riding around in her golf cart (with Theo), cross fit, and the occasional Netflix binge session.
