Traveling, volunteering@church and Valley Animal Center, attending Fresno State football games
My husband and I love to travel and have been to many countries.
Family fun day & granddaughters, traveling, volunteering at animal shelter and at church.
Since 2020, we call our family gatherings Family Fun Day, where we gather and eat and just have fun. I enjoy being involved in my granddaughters lives, with school and extracurricular activities. We recently traveled to Europe and did an Alpine trip crossing 5 countries over the Summer. I have a love for children and animals! I love to volunteer at Valley Animal Center, and we have 2 dogs of our own. I also volunteer as a greeter on the team @People's Church and will be wearing a 70th Year Celebration tee shirt to celebrate the church's birthday. My husband and I like to go to Fresno State football games and look forward to his annual tailgate party on campus with his business and employees of Kasparian's Paint Center which advertises on the fields.
