I am an Oregon girl. I was born in The Dalles at my Aunt and Uncles hospital. I graduated from McNary High School in Salem, Oregon. I graduated from Southern Oregon University in Ashland, Oregon. I now live in Bend. Both of my daughters were born in Bend also. My parents are Oregonians and so are my grandparents. This is home and this is where I plan to live the rest of my life.
