Hi there!

I absolutely love spending time with my husband, Eric, and our three amazing kids—Blaine, Madison, and Mallory. We also have a spoiled Goldendoodle named Winston who keeps us entertained! My favorite color is red, and when it comes to food, I can't resist chips and queso or anything salty like popcorn. In my free time, I enjoy walking, reading, and spending quality time with my family. We love playing games together—it’s always a blast!

My favorite book is The Help, and I have so much fun trying new recipes in the kitchen. One of my favorite places to visit is Cape San Blas, Florida—it’s such a special spot!

I’m married to my amazing husband, Mason, and we have two wonderful kids, Millie and Grayson. My favorite color is pink, and I absolutely love chips and queso. Crafting and cooking are two of my favorite pastimes, and Magna-Tiles are my go-to toy for creative fun. I adore the Llama Llama book series, and musicals always bring me joy. My favorite vacation spot is anywhere with a beach—I can’t get enough of the sun and sand. I also hold a Bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Education, which fuels my passion for working with children.

I cherish spending time with my husband, Devin, and our son, Shiloh. Green is my favorite color, and I have a love for all kinds of food, though popcorn, cheesecake, and cookies top the list. I enjoy thrifting, hunting for unique treasures. Play-Doh is my favorite toy, and The Dandelion's Tale is a book I hold dear. Our household thrives on fun and laughter, often pulling pranks on one another—Shiloh even creates his own pranks to surprise Devin or me!

Hi! I love spending time with my husband, Troy, and our wonderful family. We have four children—Jakob, Trevor, Sydney, and Emma—along with two amazing daughters-in-law, Monica and Mandy. We’re blessed with three grandchildren:  William, Emersyn, and Leia, and we cherish every moment with them. My favorite food is pizza, and my favorite color is red. I enjoy relaxing with a good book, baking, and playing Euchre. Orphan Train is my favorite book. I also love traveling and exploring new places, but most of all, I treasure spending time with my family.

I have a wonderful husband, Andy, and three amazing kids: Jacob, Jenna, and Emma. Our family wouldn’t be complete without our dog, Buddy, and our cat, Tigger. My favorite color is purple, and I’m a big fan of Mexican food—it’s the best!

In my free time, I love reading and riding horses, two passions that bring me so much joy. Last year, I read over 100 books! My favorite book, which happens to be a children’s book, is The Book with No Pictures by BJ Novak. I also enjoy a lively game of UNO—it’s always a hit.

For the past 15 years, I’ve owned my own business. Currently, I run a horse boarding barn and take care of all the horses. Spending time with them is one of my greatest joys.
