CURRENT MISSION

Spending time with my loved ones (especially my new niece and nephew!)

ABOUT ME

My husband Jonathan and I really enjoy traveling and experiencing other cultures. We've lived abroad a few different times and hope to do so again in the near future.

PHILOSOPHY

"There's only one rule that I know of, babies: God damn it, you've got to be kind." (Vonnegut)
