After I married Eric, I moved east and we have lived in Barberton for almost two years. We have four (4) four-legged children (two dogs, a cat and a horse). When it’s warm and sunny you’ll find me outside hiking, camping or boating. If it’s cold or blustery, I’ll be inside working out, listening to music or reading. Spending time with family and friends is something I always enjoy – inside or out!
