I was born and raised in Pueblo, Colorado.
I moved to Corpus Christi, Texas in 1998.
I enjoy camping, sewing and gardening.
My husband and I love to cook. We are always trying new recipes and adding to old ones. We BBQ every weekend and always have a crowd of friends over to taste our creations! Usually we are watching Nascar and/or football while we BBQ!
I am a Denver Bronco Fan, but I also like the Houston Texans.
