I have been married since 2000. My husband and I have two daughters. The oldest is a student at the University of Georgia. The youngest is a senior at North Gwinnett High School and she also plans to attend UGA in the fall.
I love getting lost in a good book. Most of my school vacations are spent curled up with a good book or two.
My family and I love exploring different hiking areas. We sometimes take weekend or day trips although this is getting harder to do with our busy schedules. I also love to go for walks at the local park.
