Happy to be a part of the beautiful Tri-Cities, via a detour to the upper Midwest. I reside in Richland, with my husband, Jeff & Koko Kitty. I enjoy biking, fishing, camping, really, anything outdoors. I also love a good bargain. Bring on the coupons & good deals! An avid Green Bay Packers fan, I admire the passion of Seahawks fans. I look forward to hearing from you & seeing you while out & about.
