Travel is such a  big part of my life, and I am so thankful. 

Growing up, my parents were part-time missionaries to Mexico, so early on I learned to appreciate other cultures. And the as I got older, I became an exchange student with the National FFA, living in Russia.

During the years when my boys were young I did not travel much. But now that they are older, we try to get away a few times a year. 

Seeing new places, cultures, and people? It all just makes me so happy.
