Me

I'm just a small town girl; I grew up in a town of about 1000 people.  Growing up, I was bored most of the time, but looking back, I wouldn't have it any other way.  After high school, I went to Kansas State University, GO CATS!, where I got a degree in Dietetics and Public Health Nutrition.  

I met the best friends any girl could have and had so much fun.  

After graduating in 2006, I met Jade in Las Vegas.  

We did the long-distance thing for a few months, and I decided to take a chance and move out to Vegas.  Right from the start, Jade kept me busy and traveling.  On our first trip, we went to San Diego and LA.

then to Sedona.

And when Jade interviewed with Katie Curic for 60 Minutes we made a trip to New York!

We lived and worked in Vegas for a few more years, but decided it wasn't really the place for us.  We began traveling around the US and Mexico.

We moved so many times, I am a professional at living out of boxes and suitcases.  We finally settled in Lawrence, Kansas:  Home of the Jayhawks.  I was fortunate enough to land an internship with the Athletic Department and I finished my Master's in August 2011 in Exercise and Sport Science!  

Jade and I got married in December 2010, and we are "happily ever after".  Now we are living in Playa del Carmen, Mexico. If you are in the area, I would love to hear from you.  Send me an email!
