Best childhood memory? I sure miss my grandma. Every Saturday morning, I would help her cook up a big meal while we watched my dad, uncles and grandpa work the farm. I got my love of cooking from helping in her kitchen!

Interesting fact about you? When my first son was born I quickly found out the cost of having photos taken, so my husband bought me a nice camera for Christmas.  Photography quickly turned into a passion and a hobby of mine. I enjoy taking pictures of my friends’ families!
