When I am not serving others, I enjoy serving God and my family of 7. My husband Jeremy and our 5 children enjoy being outside and staying active. We volunteer at church and in our schools as much as we can. We like to be a part of a team and help grow in our community and relationships. I love to throw parties for my children and our family. I love to organize and see things with a new perspective. I enjoy the journey of life and the family I have at home and at TBG of Rockford.
