About Me

I am from a shnazy little farm town named West Point. Playing music and writing songs is something that I enjoy doing, and is something that I hold dear. My husband is also loves to play guitar and sing, so it is something we like to do together.I love being outside. I love the smell of a rainy day. I like to be up before the sun rises and after it sets. I love to carry all of my essential belongings on my back and disappear into the woods for a week! I love the crunchy sound snow makes under my boots. I love the sound of thunder, crickets, and my husband snoring beside me.I also play on a womens hockey team! www.wasatchwings.com We are always looking for new players!
