My Aunt Roxy was the crazy animal lady who welcomed all creatures to her home. I’m talking feral cats, raccoons, runaway farm pigs – you name it. I would walk to her house and pet the horses and her 10+ adopted cats. I always said I wanted to be like her when I grew up. So here we are, living on 1.2 acres and 20 animals later. If it were up to me we’d own every animal known to man. I just need a bigger farm! 

My husband & I planned a van trip for 4 months during the National Park Centennial of 2016 after only dating for 3 months. And we adopted a 9 week old puppy just a week before leaving. We named him Yogi. That was the start of our family and the rest is history. We do not live in a van currently but dream of buying one for weekend adventures.

Kindess goes a long way. It’s hard to find me without a smile or an easy laugh. Gratitude is important to me. I believe our light is meant to be shared and passed forward.
