When I am not working, I spend my time outdoors with my kiddos.

My two wonderful sons and I love to hike, bike, play speed Frisbee Golf, and visiting the many parks in the area. My pets are also very important to me and I spend a lot of time with them as well. I enjoy cooking for my kiddos and myself rather than going out to eat. Homemade is always better. :)
