Reading, Traveling, Cooking, Spending time with family
I love nothing more than spending time with my 3 children and extended family who bring joy and laughter into my life. I am involved in my church now serving in our youth girls program. Prior to this I was actively involved in our children's ministry for 4 years. I love to travel but my happy place is the beach. I love cooking and especially trying new recipes. Especially sweets. I love walking. That's my quite time to ponder and self reflect. I consider myself a people person and rarely meet a stranger. I am easy going and happy especially when I am serving other people. I like hands on learning and prefer to always be moving and productive.
