Hiking, Music Festivals, Astronomy, Travel

I've been a single mom for 10 years, exploring the mountains in Utah either hiking or snowboarding with my kids. We moved to Greenville in June 2022 and have enjoyed exploring the Blue Ridge Mountains and everything this state and area have to offer. We love to travel to new cities or spend a weekend at the beach or lake, paddle boarding with our dogs.
