Experiences and hobbie

Because of my job- I have seen the northern lights, America's largest mountains, the Grand Canyon.

Flying into Vegas at night is a light show in itself. The major cities are beautiful but Montana and Wyoming are breathtaking. I am originally from Tennessee, I love crafting, decoration, skiing and love a challenge.

My favorite vacation was to Alaska!
