I grew up in southern Arizona and married my husband, Rick, in 2005. We moved to the northern Virginia/Washington, D.C. area a few years later. We have two daughters that have one mission in life – turn Mommy’s hair gray. In my free time I enjoy reading fiction novels, going for walks with my dog, PJ, and savoring anything with the name Ben & Jerry’s attached to it. And coffee. Oh boy, do I ever LOVE coffee. Starbucks should dedicate a wing at the neighborhood cafe to me!
