I enjoy spending time with family and friends, attending church, cooking, riding my motorcycle.
I am a mother of a 34 year old daughter and a 17 year old son. We enjoy spending time with each other on the weekends or even taking family vacations together. We attend Lakeview Church in Selmer, TN. I absolutely love to cook and try new recipes. I love to take day trip motorcycle rides with my boyfriend, as I do ride my own.
