CURRENT MISSION

Getting an uniterrupted night of sleep

ABOUT ME

I am a mom of two young boys just getting back to CS from a long hiatus. We recently moved to beautiful Asheville, NC where we've only just begun exploring the wonderful food, breweries, hiking, art, etc, because we have been busy with our infant and toddler. When I'm not nursing a baby, being spit-up on, changing a diaper, or chasing a two-year old around, I work as a flight attendant--a job that I love dearly and will probably do until I'm in my 70's. When I used to have free time, I did a lot of yoga and rock climbing. I'll get back into regularly at some point.
My other half is a brilliant musician and an Asst Prof of music. We've been to some pretty amazing places together, but there are just so many more!
