Interests
Softball, tennis, and golf are among my favorite pastimes. My dad used to play for the San Diego Padres so baseball has always been a part of my life. I love to read, as well as write. Traveling is always a favorite, but I don't really have the time these days. I'm a mother to a beautiful baby boy so I love spending my time with him. Music is important to me, country music specifically and photography is a hobby I enjoy, but don't take seriously. I used to volunteer at a children's hospital in Oregon but it became to emotionally draining.
