Germany has probably been my favorite vacation destination so far. I got to see the small town that my great grandparent came from.

Some day I would like to go around the world. Sail across the Atlantic, take the Orient Express to Asia, Fly to Austraila, and Eventually fly home to the states.

How I spend my time...
Write something you love to do that is not your occupation or focused on your family (a hobby, thing to collect, sports, music, etc.)

My life is pretty busy with work and family but when I do get a few moments I love to read, cook, take walks, watch movies - quiet type activities to balance my busy schedule.

How I spend my time...giving back...

What causes are most important to you?

One of my sisters is a 12 year survivor of breast cancer. I try to give some of my time working on or participating in fund raisers for breast cancer.

Lot of time supporting my kids bowling teams. They are all on the high school teams.
