: About Me

My name is Heidi. I was born in Springfield Missouri in 1981. I grew up in Missouri, Colorado, and California. I had a wonderful childhood, we were not rich but money isn't everything. I am now married to a wonderful man who serves his country in the United States Army. We have two daughters, ages 8 and 5. And we're still not rich but we do live quite comfortably. I have many hobbies and am always learning something new. It is hard for me to sit still for two minutes. I enjoy reading, writing, scrapbooking, needle crafts, gardening, fishing, boating, camping, and almost anything else outdoors.
