After a decade working for a soul-sucking corporation in a dead end career, my loving husband and I decided that if we lived in a place we loved, we wouldn't need the money for elaborate travels. We found a tiny house with the best backyard in the world and moved to the Golden Circle area of national parks. In a previous life, I spent time in law enforcement and hotel service with a summer in between where I lived in a tent in Colorado. Now, I'm a respectable, married homeowner with a vicious whimsical streak that seeks outlets in knitting, bookcrossing, scribbling prose and canine pursuits. My family of adorable unidentifiable terriers and mylovinghusband live in the lowest step of the Grand Staircase.
