Hello! My husband, myself, and our daughter, Fiona, have been here since January of 2022. We have been married for 22 years and spent most of our marriage overseas. We recently came from Southern Maryland (Pax River) where we lived for 5 years but before that we lived overseas for 13 years moving around between Naples, Italy; Okinawa, Japan; and Ramstein, Germany. (8 years in Okinawa and it was my favorite place to live!) I got my teaching degree in Okinawa, Japan as well as had our daughter during the same time. Fiona is 13 years old and in 8th grade. We have three pets; a Yorkie, named Kaba (Japanese for hippo) who is 17 years old, and two cats; Cleo is 17 years old as well and Winter is 4 (my daughter's cat). We also have some strays outside that have claimed us. We also have 6 outside cats (3 of which are kittens) that have adopted our family.
We love traveling to experience new places and cultures. I love summer weather most of all and love to be by water in any form. I also love exploring and playing around with art in many different forms when I have free time to do it. My favorite hobby is pottery and I am working on getting my home studio set up and ready to play with clay again soon! I also enjoy watercolors, acrylic painting, and trying any new art medium. If it's out there, I have probably dabbled in it at some point. While in Maryland, I discovered a love for fossil hunting and amassed a very large collection combing the beaches for sharks teeth, manta ray teeth, and other fossils.
