Just for funsies (yes, it's a word), here are some random facts about myself. Not interested? You can keep scrolling to learn more about my experience.

A pepsi cup being filled up with Pepsi at a soda fountain dispenser.

No coffee for me. I need soda.

And there’s no contest. Pepsi all the way. Bonus points if it's from a fountain, cause fountain is always better. Fight me.

Is there such thing as too many dogs?

The answer is yes. I should know, I have four. Maybe don’t get four. (But I love them all).

Is there such thing as too many kids?

This answer is also yes. But they're all mine and I love them...most days. 😉 One of my favorite photos...isn't my grandma cute?

Give me a book, or give me death.

That's how it goes, right? Ok, I won't die. But I love to read and you'll often find me reading. My favorite author? Paulo Coelho.
