Personally - I was born and raised in Ohio, but moved to North Carolina in 1992. I enjoy spending time with my husband, daughter, and son. As a family, we like to attend sporting events and also watch them on tv. We love the beach! In my spare time, I like to read, bake, and spend time with my black lab, Hank and GSP, Ripken.
