About Me
Although I would love to be a reader, I find myself playing soduko during my study and work breaks. I love singing and am in the process of joining my worship team at church. Early Wednesday mornings are for a catch-up coffee with my best friend and a life full of adventure, dreaming and accomplishing goals describes my relationship with my husband.
