I’m 20, in college, and working in my free time. We have two senior cats! I love music (play piano and flute, and I sing), I love birdwatching, and I LOVE flowers (13 kinds in my garden this year, plus peppers/strawberries)! My fiancé and I actually met thanks to our high school Horticulture teacher, who will be a guest of honor at the wedding. Oh, and I proposed to him l... planned to. He figured it out.

Happily married 🎉
