1. I am positively addicted to home renovation shows. Over the past five years I have been piece-by-piece renovating our house, which has led me to do things I never thought I could- refinish an entire wall of kitchen cabinets, lay flooring, and replace countertops. On the list for summer: painting the outside of our house and landscaping. I love all of it!
2. This is my second year as Captain for Steve’s Kids, the team I started for the Walk to End Alzheimer’s. Last year my dad passed away at 62 and had Alzheimer’s Disease. There is so much still to learn about the human brain and how we can diagnose, treat and prevent dementia and Alzheimer’s. The disease is terrifying- I knew there was no way I could stand by and not do something.
3. My husband Mike and I are blessed to have a beautiful little three year old boy. Having grown up in a small family I never knew the joy that having a child could bring! Witnessing his little discoveries is amazing, whether he is realizing how delicious the roses in our front yard smell or watching the ground grow smaller as our plane takes off. He is the light of our lives.
4. I just love karaoke! I studied classical vocal performance in college and sang a lot of opera, but the sheer fun of karaoke is what has me hooked. My best friend and I have driven down the street and seen someone doing karaoke through the window of a restaurant, and turned around to go join in the fun. She sings country power ballads but! I love to sing Sinatra-era jazz classics.
