My husband Paul and I have been married for 32 years and are the parents of 3 adult children – Gregory, Cassidy, and Michael.  For the first 24 ½ years of our married life, I happily followed my husband around the army.  After his retirement in 2014, we bought our forever home in McLouth, Kansas where we reside with our two dogs, guinea pig and an assortment of barn cats. We love living the peaceful country life. Traveling around the world with the army instilled a love of travel in our family that continues to this day.

My favorite thing to do is to be outside. I am an avid backpacker and kayaker.  I am currently in the process of section hiking the 500 mile Colorado Trail with one of my best friends from college. As of the spring of 2023, we have completed almost 100 miles of the CT.  She and I recently completed the 35 mile Buffalo River Trail down in Arkansas.  The Buffalo River in my home state of Arkansas is one of my favorite places to adventure and is the location of my annual spring break trip.  As a family, we love to camp so we often load up our camper and our kayaks to enjoy the beauty of this beautiful country of ours.  We also  love to pile into the truck and hit the roads, exploring our adopted home state.
