During the homeschool years, Lauri led a homeschool coop, wrote for a state newsletter, and had a cottage business. 

Later, after all the kids were in high school and college, Lauri worked various jobs.  She was a copyshop agent, server, shift lead in a local restaurant, and a loan processor. Then, she entered the medical field, where she trained in phlebotomy and was certified as a medical assistant. Later, Lauri became a trainer and continues to serve a large clinic and multiple doctors, PAs, and staff. All of this while also being part of and supporting Bill in his full-time vocational role as a pastor and church planter.
