My husband and I have three adult children. Our oldest works for FEMA in environmental planning and historical preservation; he's deployed in Kentucky right now. Our middle son lives with his wife (and dog, Vin, and cat, Pizza) in Washington State; he works in HR and plays drums in a local band. Our youngest lives in Georgia with her high school sweetheart (and 2 dogs, Jake & Ellie); she is a Marketing Manager in the Software industry.

My husband and I love to take road trips. We just finished a long road trip with our two dogs (Angus & Luna) across the country to Tacoma, Washington. I'm my spare time I love to create art/crafts and enjoy playing music [I play guitar, bass, piano, clarinet, and...bagpipes!]. I also love to read and, as you will see, love Harry Potter. :)
