Happily married to my husband, Owen. We have three daughters. I work full time in the healthcare industry. Faith and family are important in our house. In my spare time (is there still such a thing?), I love to read, crochet, play French horn, watch romantic comedies, and watch sports. We bleed orange and blue in my house (college game day is a sacred event – Auburn U/War Eagle! and Syracuse U).
