She loves Monday night football, ACC basketball, shooting hoops with her grandsons, hiking and riding horseback with her husband, running-especially on country roads, eating chocolate, playing practical jokes on folks, walking and talking with girl friends. You are not likely to find her at the mall; she\u2019d rather be at the farm. You won\u2019t find her in the kitchen by choice; she\u2019d rather be outdoors with her golden retrievers. Her favorite time of the year is June when all her kids and grandkids are together for a week of \u201ccousins and family camp\u201d in the foothills of the Shenandoah Mountains of Virginia.","link":"https:\/\/wp-stage.familylife.com\/www\/profiles\/susan-yates\/","name":"Susan Yates","slug":"susan-yates","taxonomy":"cwp_profile","parent":0,"meta":[],"acf":[],"meta_box":{"title":"","color":"","thumbnail":[{"width":256,"height":256,"file":"2024\/10\/Susan_Yates2.jpg","filesize":21467,"sizes":{"thumbnail":{"file":"Susan_Yates2.jpg?resize=256,256","width":256,"height":256,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":21467,"url":"https:\/\/wp-stage.familylife.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1001\/2024\/10\/Susan_Yates2.jpg?resize=256,256"}},"image_meta":{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"0","keywords":[]},"ID":"309397","name":"Susan_Yates2.jpg","path":"vip:\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1001\/2024\/10\/Susan_Yates2.jpg","url":"https:\/\/wp-stage.familylife.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1001\/2024\/10\/Susan_Yates2.jpg?w=256&h=256&crop=1","full_url":"https:\/\/wp-stage.familylife.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1001\/2024\/10\/Susan_Yates2.jpg","title":"Susan_Yates2","caption":"","description":"","alt":"","srcset":"https:\/\/wp-stage.familylife.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1001\/2024\/10\/Susan_Yates2.jpg 420w, https:\/\/wp-stage.familylife.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1001\/2024\/10\/Susan_Yates2.jpg?resize=256,256 256w"}],"icon":"","links":[{"text":"","url":""}]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wp-stage.familylife.com\/www\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cwp_profile\/3057","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wp-stage.familylife.com\/www\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cwp_profile"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wp-stage.familylife.com\/www\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/taxonomies\/cwp_profile"}],"wp:post_type":[{"href":"https:\/\/wp-stage.familylife.com\/www\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts?cwp_profile=3057"},{"href":"https:\/\/wp-stage.familylife.com\/www\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages?cwp_profile=3057"},{"href":"https:\/\/wp-stage.familylife.com\/www\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?cwp_profile=3057"},{"href":"https:\/\/wp-stage.familylife.com\/www\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/art-of-marriage?cwp_profile=3057"},{"href":"https:\/\/wp-stage.familylife.com\/www\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/art-of-marriage-blog?cwp_profile=3057"},{"href":"https:\/\/wp-stage.familylife.com\/www\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/familylife-equip?cwp_profile=3057"},{"href":"https:\/\/wp-stage.familylife.com\/www\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/small-group-study?cwp_profile=3057"},{"href":"https:\/\/wp-stage.familylife.com\/www\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/wtr-reviews?cwp_profile=3057"},{"href":"https:\/\/wp-stage.familylife.com\/www\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/wtr-speaker?cwp_profile=3057"},{"href":"https:\/\/wp-stage.familylife.com\/www\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/wtr-post?cwp_profile=3057"},{"href":"https:\/\/wp-stage.familylife.com\/www\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/podcast?cwp_profile=3057"},{"href":"https:\/\/wp-stage.familylife.com\/www\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/familylife-global?cwp_profile=3057"},{"href":"https:\/\/wp-stage.familylife.com\/www\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/aop?cwp_profile=3057"},{"href":"https:\/\/wp-stage.familylife.com\/www\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/familylifeblended?cwp_profile=3057"},{"href":"https:\/\/wp-stage.familylife.com\/www\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/content_offer?cwp_profile=3057"},{"href":"https:\/\/wp-stage.familylife.com\/www\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ofertas_de_contendio?cwp_profile=3057"},{"href":"https:\/\/wp-stage.familylife.com\/www\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/devotionals?cwp_profile=3057"},{"href":"https:\/\/wp-stage.familylife.com\/www\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ide?cwp_profile=3057"},{"href":"https:\/\/wp-stage.familylife.com\/www\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/made4missions?cwp_profile=3057"},{"href":"https:\/\/wp-stage.familylife.com\/www\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/missions?cwp_profile=3057"},{"href":"https:\/\/wp-stage.familylife.com\/www\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/partners?cwp_profile=3057"},{"href":"https:\/\/wp-stage.familylife.com\/www\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/real-parent-life?cwp_profile=3057"},{"href":"https:\/\/wp-stage.familylife.com\/www\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/sexual-wholeness?cwp_profile=3057"},{"href":"https:\/\/wp-stage.familylife.com\/www\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/stepping-up?cwp_profile=3057"},{"href":"https:\/\/wp-stage.familylife.com\/www\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/us-latinos?cwp_profile=3057"},{"href":"https:\/\/wp-stage.familylife.com\/www\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/weekend-to-remember?cwp_profile=3057"},{"href":"https:\/\/wp-stage.familylife.com\/www\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/local-expansion?cwp_profile=3057"},{"href":"https:\/\/wp-stage.familylife.com\/www\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/video-gallery-block?cwp_profile=3057"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
