What might people be surprised to know about you?

What is your perfect day?
It would start off with either a trail run or maybe a mountain bike ride (my newest passion) with friends. Anything active in nature with friends makes my heart happy. And of course, followed by brunch at a place with delicious food and coffee (I love coffee!). Then after a quick shower and clean up I’d spend the afternoon with my family doing something active or fun. Either a game of mini-golf or a hike if the weather is nice, or board games and hot chocolate if it’s rainy. Then we’d make some homemade pizza and watch a movie snuggled on the couch. Nature, activity, connection, great food. That sums up my version of perfection!
