Interests
I love to travel to any state that has a beautiful beach that I can lay on and listen to waves crashing on the shore. My favorite places to vacation is Galveston, Texas and Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. My two fur babies are rat terriers who's names are Gracie and Cici. They too enjoy traveling and walking on the beach. Family is my top priority in life. I strive to grow my knowledge daily on a variety of topics. To further your education is to grow. I enjoy relaxing on the couch and reading books, medical journal articles, and magazines. During any free time that I have, I like to catch up with friends on the phone or meet up for lunch. My favorite hobby is taking photos of nature.
