ABOUT ME

My husband Randy and I met in high school, married soon after graduation (age 17 & 18!) and celebrate our 34th anniv. in Dec 2015. We have two adult kids - daughter and her husband have a 2015 baby girl and thankfully live close by; son and his lady live in Colorado, which is a great place to visit! I think my best friends would say that I am logical, loyal, creative, 'devil's advocate', honest. My daughter would say I can't stand in a line of people and not engage someone in conversation (she hated that when she was in high school, but now she does it too!)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Signed up in June 2010. Have stayed with some wonderful people; haven't hosted many yet.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

We've offered our home to racers coming in from out of town, though only a couple times. It is something I would be interested in doing more of in the future. A few years back, our son trained for a marathon with us but left for Boulder, CO to return to school a month before the Portland Marathon in October. He signed up for the Boulder Backroads Marathon the end of September. I surprised him by flying to Denver the night before, couchsurfing at a lovely family's home, and surprising him as he left his apartment to go to the race. It was awesome!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I find amazement in the everyday things. The sunset turning the sky shades of pink... Watching my children when they interact with strangers... Snorkeling... Challenging myself physically...
