Hobbies and Interests: I love being with my family and friends. On the weekends
you can usually find me at Washington Park, but I always make time for shopping.
I love going to odd end shops and boutiques in Denver. I enjoy reading, going out
to dinner, cooking, taking pictures, DIY projects, riding my bike, playing tennis,
and walking. I love to travel and try to take several trips a year to places I’ve never
been. Of course, there are my all-time favorite cities that I keep visiting. Although
international travel has its appeals, I’ve done most of my traveling within the
states. I hope to visit all 50 states by the time I turn fifty-years-old!
Music: I love, love, love country music! I also like classic rock, oldies, alternative
rock and pop.
Movies: I love comedies, specifically British comedies and romantic comedies. I
also like dramas, thrillers, 80’s movies and of course old classics!
Miscellaneous favorites: jewelry (I currently love the Alex and Ani bangles and
the Dogeared necklaces at Nordstrom), books (adult fiction is my favorite, no
romance novels), patriotic things (anything representative of our nation), indoor
and outdoor plants (succulents or flowers) and flowers (hydrangeas or peonies).
Holidays: Christmas, Valentine’s Day, Memorial Day and the Fourth of July
Flowers: I love peonies and hydrangeas.
Sports teams: Denver Broncos and Colorado Rockies
Collections: Gift cards and magnets from around the world!
Color: Mint green, pale blue, grey and coral
