About Me
- Heidi
- Mark and I have been married almost 11 years and have 2 daughters, Olivia & Brooke. Mark works for Anheuser-Busch and I've been a stay-at-home mom since Olivia was born, in 2004. We adopted Brooke in 2009 and are going back to China one more time for daughter #3 - Gwen!
There were 8 families in our travel group and we all sat out in the hall and ate Pizza Hut Pizza and discussed what the first thing we would eat, after returning to the states. We also had a large bucket of KFC in the little fridge in our room and snacked out of it for several days. Great times!
