Megan
I grew up on a farm raising cows and pigs in Indiana, but I moved to Dayton, Ohio to marry my husband after dating long distance. My husband is a computer programmer, and I work part time at a library. We have a toddler daughter who keeps us on our toes! I love exploring Dayton with her and coming up with fun activities to help encourage her imagination and curiosity. I am addicted to chocolate, Starbucks, and Amazon. Besides spending time with my daughter, I love to read, cook/bake, and watch reality TV and crime shows.
