Hi y'all! I grew up in Dubuque IA as a hardworking midwest gal, that is now a proud Texan enjoying life, family and friends! Enjoy getting back 'home' to visit my family and enjoy the calm and simple life this area has to offer! I am looking forward to a future of traveling with my husband and our kids, seeing the world and hosting others for their time away from the day-to-day grind by stepping away with loved ones to spend time in a beautiful countryside home!
