Summary

I am born and raised in Northern California. I married my high school sweetheart after we moved to Idaho when i was 15. We have 3 children, the youngest being 13, the oldest being 19, living in CA going to college. I have no immediate family in Utah or Idaho. We own our home and a small farm. My husband and I have both worked at the same jobs we started with just out of high school. I've been at mine for almost 21 years. I LOVE my customers! We know everyone on a personal basis.

I have one younger sibling that lives in Illinois and both of my parents are deceased. My dad was employed by Fred Meyer (currently Smiths Marketplace), as the Meat & Seafood Manager for seven years beginning in 1996. I currently own my own at home graphics business dong banners, partial wraps & vinyl logos and store fronts for most of Franklin County. I LOVE IT! I want to be able to keep doing that which is why I only want part time work.

I am ready for a change, ready for a challenge! I need something new in my life including new faces!

I have taken the Master Gardener course through our local extension office. I like to work on my own yard with designing and planting. My husband and I like to attend concerts in SLC, UT a few or more times a year. We also enjoy going to car shows as we have an old pickup truck that we like to take. I enjoy kayaking the Oneida Narrows near me and the San Juan River down in Moab UT. I like to spend time watching movies and going to dinner with my family and going home to california for special occasions.I also enjoy attending festivals and the gardeners market!
