I grew up in Alaska, but am living in Indiana while my husband gets his MBA at Purdue.
I love to cook but HATE cleaning up afterwards. :-P Thankfully, I have a wonderful husband who often cleans up my mess. God has blessed me with a great man.
I love spending time with my husband and my baby, an adorable Siamese kitten who keeps me on my toes.
