I moved to a little town outside of Denver a few years ago, having lived in the San Francisco Bay Area for the last 15 years. I'm originally from the Great Pacific Northwest (Oregon) and am a proud graduate of Oregon State University (Go Beavs!) and Portland State University, with a Bachelor of Arts in Spanish and an ESL teaching certification.

My family loves to travel, whether it be little day trips or hopping on a plane somewhere. My mind is constantly thinking ahead to my next vacation. We've traveled to Hawaii quite a bit over the years and many places around Northern California and of course, Oregon. If you every have any questions on what to see or what to do in those areas, please drop me a line. We're looking forward to exploring more of Colorado and neighboring states now.

I'm a mom to two boys, ages 11 and 14, and two black cats named Larry and Mombassa (also known as Bubba or Bub)that we adopted a few years ago. We also added a dog to our household last year, a pug named Spanky born on 8/4/08! He's quite a handful but he brings a smile to everyone's face. Bubba gets along quite well with him, but Larry's scared stiff of him.
