I am a mother and a wife. I am an archaeologist and art historian. I have countless hobbies among them sewing, reading, travel, and learning in general. I come from a large family. I am also married to an Italian (a souvenir from backpacking in Italy) and lived there for the first years of our marriage. I did my masters in archaeology in Italy and started my family there. But I am a Kansas girl. Currently more interested in the American wilderness. I love people! Love getting know people.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Becoming a mother, sound cliche' but oh well, I have also been to the top of Mount Nemrut in Turkey. I have participated in archaeological digs in Italy. I deadlifted 210 lbs..... nothing is truly that amazing but maybe added up together there is something good.
