General Biography: 

Hola!  I am originally from a small town in Northern Nevada.  I absolutely love riding horses and traveling.  To date I have traveled through Canada, Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama, Chile, Argentina, Germany, and Austria (or I will be going to Germany and Austria during Christmas Break 2011!! - Woot Woot!!).  And I still have a huge list of places I want to go on my Bucket List.  I spent a year studying abroad down in Chile while in college.  I also enjoy reading and quilting.  My two children are my gentle german shepherd, Jerry Lee, and my cranky cat, Leo.  Check out what is going on in my Spanish classes at:   https://sites.google.com/a/bbbsd.net/spanish/home
