• Of course, my 2 wonderful children; Lacie is a Senior at San Jose State with a Softball Scholarship.  My son Jesse, is in his Freshman YEar at Utah Tech in St. George Utah.
• I have 3 dogs: Ella, a Yorkie who is 14 years old and has no teeth.  She loves to sleep right next to me. Willow is a Goldendoodle, with her daughter Harley. (brown) Both enjoy long walks and rides in the car. Willow has had 2 litters of puppies, 27 puppies in total. She is a fabulous mom. 
• Interesting Facts: Was mascot for my high school and college, The Bears and The Titans; was on The PRICE IS RIGHT T.V. show in 1997 and WON The Showcase Showdown; played roller hockey with Mr. Ham and still love it; and I am addicted to reality shows. Survivor is my favorite. It is my dream to be on that show. Who knows what lies in my future?
