I grew up in Buckley, WA and recently, my incredible husband Joshua and I bought our forever home in Buckley. My new house is five houses down from my parents, where I grew up. How often does that happen? We also have an adorable rescue dog named Muffin, and our curious black kitty, Sirius Black. I believe family is everything, so Josh and I spend as much time as possible with both of ours. In my spare time I enjoy camping, cheering on Seattle sports teams, listening to music of all kinds and also enjoy making custom jewelry.
