Hobbies: In my free time, I enjoy a variety of activities that keep me engaged and fulfilled. Shopping is one of my favorite pastimes, allowing me to explore new trends and discover unique items. I also have a passion for crafting, where I express my creativity through various projects, whether it’s DIY home decor or handmade gifts.

Reading is another hobby I cherish, as it transports me to different worlds and expands my knowledge. Additionally, I love attending sporting events, where I can cheer on my favorite teams and soak in the electric atmosphere.

When I’m not out and about, you can often find me fishing, which provides a peaceful escape and a chance to connect with nature. Most importantly, I treasure the time spent with my two sons, creating lasting memories while engaging in activities that we all enjoy together. Whether it's a day out or a cozy evening at home, family time is always at the heart of my hobbies.

Favorite Quote: One of my favorite quotes is Jeremiah 29:11, which states, "For I know the plans I have for you," says the Lord. "Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." This verse resonates deeply with me because it serves as a reminder that there is a greater purpose in life, even amid challenges. It reassures me that I am not alone and that my journey is guided by a divine plan filled with hope and promise. This inspires me to trust the process and embrace each moment with faith.
