cooking, traveling, reading, running, and spending time with family and friends
I love spending time and traveling with friends and family. One of my favorite places to visit are the Rocky Mountains. I love the Rocky Mountains because of the peace and beauty of the great outdoors.. . I also love to cook for friends and family when time allows. In my alone time I enjoy reading scripture and learning how to apply the scriptures to my everyday life.
