Free-for-All: When I am not driving my kids to their various activities, having quality family time on the slopes, at the lake or in the mountains, or doing work as an elder and Sunday school teacher at Whitworth Church, I like to relax with some fiber arts (crocheting and sewing). There is nothing better than relaxing in the spring sun with a good book or devotional. My favorite genre is historical fiction, and I love to travel—which is why I jumped at the opportunity for an advanced internship in England right out of college.
