Spending time with my dog Perdita, Roller Coaster enthusiast, Yoga, Trail walks, Puzzles, Reading

I enjoy my free time with my 5yr old hound named Perdita, she is sweet girl and makes me laugh everyday. I also own 3 Crested Geckos, their names are Pancake, Taffyda and Cream Soda. I enjoy riding all types of coasters and love to sit in the front seat when possible. Hot yoga is a peaceful exercise for me. I also  enjoy taking trail walks with friends, doing large colorful puzzles and usually buy myself a horror related book to read.  Since I have worked for Spirit Halloween going on 9yrs it is easy to say Halloween is my favorite holiday. I enjoy both spooky and cute things at the same time. I try my best to make it to as many concerts as I can to see my favorite bands. 

Additional Information

I've raised the most money in my store for the last 8 yrs for the Spirit of Children which spirit donates 100% of the donations to a designated children's hospital
