She enjoys hanging out with kids and providing all kinds of experiences for them. When Hope isn't in school working on a Psychology degree or hanging out with her daughter Lakelynn, 9 months, she is playing/ watching sports, getting ready for the upcoming camping season, and trying new restaurants.
