Kristina
I enjoy spending time with my husband and adult son. I have the best niece and nephew ever and see them as often as I can. In my free time I am either outside working in the garden, taking the dog for a walk or inside working on my current project of a crochet blanket. I am very creative and focused. I am self motivated and great with deadlines.
