About Me

I like paper and ink, sushi, and solving puzzles involving the human mind. I have a beautiful skater hubby and two darlings. Darby is four and Logan is two. As for me, I have my care bear-like qualities but don't tell anyone. I say what I think and sometimes even think before I speak. I love my job, my clients, my kids, my friends, my husband, my family, and my pastimes. In short, I love my life and sometimes I realize that I am way more blessed than I deserve to be.
