A little bit about me… I have lived in the Salt Lake Valley for most of my life. I worked at a salon in Holladay, Utah doing hair and getting to visit with the most amazing women. I had the opportunity to cook on a local tv show and although I no longer do that I still love to bake yummy treats! In 2021 my family had a short stint in Celina, Texas. We loved it there. We learned that everything really is bigger in Texas! We fell in love with the people, Buccees, Bbq, football games and the amazing sunsets. We did not fall in love with the weather and bugs! Now I am living in St. George Utah where we wake up in paradise every single day! I love living here and know Heavenly Father had a hand in getting me here at this specific time for His specific reasons.
