This summer I married a man named Seth.  After our wedding we honeymooned in Panama and had a great time fishing and scuba diving.

My sister and I had a great time snorkeling and exploring Key West, Florida.

Here is the new little joy in my home!  Meet my adopted kitten Piper.  Piper came to live with me in October 2014.  She is curious, playful, and so loving.

Piper is very mischievous, but she is also very cuddly.  🙂

I had a great time meeting this Beluga whale named “Beethoven” in Atlanta.  It was a neat opportunity to learn about these magnificent animals!

I have adopted a sweet little cat named Elsie!  I’m so excited to have her as a part of my family.  Here is a little video about her adoption day!
