Family
Currently I live in Hayfield, MN with my husband Mike, our German shorthair Dexter, and our four children: Karl (15), Abby (12), Aine (8), and Sam (5). All our kids attend school in Hayfield and keep us very busy with sports and other activities. Before moving to Hayfield our family lived Fort Riley, Kansas while my husband served in the Army. We have also lived in Rochester and Green Bay, WI (where my husband grew up). Most of my extended family lives in or near Rochester, MN where I grew up.
