Thinking I needed a career with more physical activity, I became a purchasing agent.\u00a0 Wanting to be outside more I went to work for the United States Army under the NAF program.<\/p>\n<p>In 2020, after reassessing and picking my favorite aspects of each job, back to college I went.\u00a0 Third time is the charm, right?\u00a0 My plan was to dust off the cobwebs and be a travel writer.\u00a0 I now find myself writing features.\u00a0 Funny how life goes in circles.<\/p>\n<p>In my spare time I enjoy kayaking, adventures, learning new things, genealogy, reading, crafts and restoring old photos.\u00a0Happily married, mother of six and Nana to eight, very blessed. My husband (Military) has relocated us several times throughout our marriage but now that he is retired, we are settled in Missouri.\u00a0 We still spend several months a year traveling
