Going to the Beach, Walking my dogs, Shopping, Decorating, and Cooking
I Love spending time with my family, and going for walks with my fur babies. Their names are Zoey, Zeke, and Zack. I love shopping and decorating my home with Beach things. Cooking is another one of my favorites and Mexican is my favorite food.
