I was born in Utah, but grew up in New Zealand and Idaho. I am married and have six kids and 3 grandchildren! I love anything outdoors, especially canoeing, hiking and shooting. I love to read historical novels and picture books and I love old movies. My favorite thing to do on stormy days is to bake and do family history!
I like aqua blue, pink and yellow.
I like chicken cordon bleu, but I don’t like anything with eggplant.
