I live in Durango, Colorado. I have three kids two of them in grade school, and one in Middle School. I work in a Special Ed classroom. My husband is a police officer. I enjoy cooking, and sewing, taking walks, and helping out at school. I really love a cook book that our church has published that has some very traditional mexican recipes. As a family we enjoy going camping and four wheeling.
