Bio
I am married to Cole VanDeWalle. We have two daughters, Hailey and Quinn, and a son, Gage. Our pets include two dogs (Zip & Shiloh), several cats (most notably our house cats - Patches, Spot, & Atticus), and six horses (Nemo, Tuff, Lily, Splash, Ben, & Apollo). My parents are Paul & Carol Haschke of Cedar Rapids, Nebraska.
I enjoy anything outdoors, including hunting, fishing, gardening, horseback riding, playing tennis, and camping. I also LOVE to read and shoot pool. Cooking, however, is not my forte. I leave that domain to Cole.
