Since we are both English teachers, my husband of 20 years, Matt, and I our lucky enough to have our summers free to spend with our boys, Aiden (15) and Chase (13). We enjoy exploring different states in our RV (whenever our boys are not playing travel baseball!!). This summer COVID forced us to cancel our big trips, but we enjoyed a few smaller camping trips in Michigan, Wisconsin, and Indiana. In addition to camping, we love swimming, biking, hiking, nature, animals, reading, and sports. I am also a big fan of stand up comedy and satire. We love animals and currently have four rescue cats. We also have two dogs, a Bernese Mountain dog named Dexter and a rescue dog who is part Border Collie and part Australian Shepherd named Dante.
