Hi! I'm Ali Reykdal (rake-doll). I grew up in Eastern Oregon on an onion farm, where I was the oldest (and wisest!) of five kids — four younger brothers who still keep life pretty exciting.  I spent 12 years in Eastern Washington, where I went to college (Go Zags!), met my husband Zac, and launched my teaching career and our adventures together. We even had a stint in Connecticut before landing in Colorful Colorado, where we've happily put down roots. Zac and I are kept very busy by our golden retrievers, Eleanor and Crosby, and we love getting outside to enjoy the beautiful outdoors!
