Hobbies

On my free time I like to spend time with family at the lake, or in the garage with my husband working on either our boats or vehicles. I also enjoy walking our two dog, or relaxing during the colder months with a good book. I also enjoy the time we get to spend with our grand child, or just going for adventures with our children.

About me:

I married my wonderful husband Nick in 2005, and gained a daughter that was born in 2001. Then in 2008 we was blessed with our Son, and in 2023 we got our first granddaughter. I am originally from Atchison Kansas, and moved to Fairbury NE in 1998 where I met my high school sweetheart (now husband). We enjoy camping, going on adventures during the warmer months, and working on our boats or vehicles during the colder months, We have 2 Great Pyrenees dogs, that I call my little ponies, they have made things very interesting. I bought my grandfathers old homestead just outside of Fairbury and are building our retirement home there. 


I am a very fast learner and extremely easy to get along with. I am the type that is out to help who ever I can and in anyway possible.
