Bio

Hi, I'm Laura and my husband is Chris.  We have been happily married for almost 26 years.  We are proud parents of 22 year old twins.  When our twins were little, we took them on adventures or "mystery rides" every weekend.  It was something we all looked forward to after getting through the weekly chaos.  In 2008, Chris was diagnosed with an aggressive form of lymphoma and was treated, only for the cancer to return in 2011.  He received a stem cell transplant and endured endless setbacks and almost died. After a full recovery, we have decided to enjoy everyday together and live life to the fullest and share our adventures with you!
