1. First, tell us a little bit about yourself.
I'm from a 6th generation farm in Kansas.  My Husband and I are high school sweethearts.  We have moved 12 times in 23 years with the Air Force.  I enjoy quilting, hiking and golfing with my husband.

I have been very fortunate to always find a job despite moving every two years on average.  But I've had to learn to be flexible.  It hasn't always been something in my background...the bridal industry.  However, being open to new things has given me amazing opportunities that I wouldn't have had without the military.
