Other Loves: Watch my son grow up. :) Cheesy, but true. When I have time I absolutely love to read. I'm a big Brandon Sanderson and Stephen King fan. The Shining is probably my favorite book. I love cooking, gardening, playing video games, hiking with my older brother, building houses in the Sims 4, traveling, and discovering new delicious restaurants with my husband, Matthew and hanging with my cat, Skelly.
