We then moved to the San Diego area where my husband set up his own practice and had two children. We save our money to pay off our house as quickly as possible and to travel as much as and as far away as we can. My favorite hobby is quilting...but all of that stuff is boring!

Thank you so much for the memories. They are the dearest.
