    Description

    Hello
    We are now a busy couple. I work in an immigrant welcome centre that helps newcomers settle into the area with services like English classes and employment services. My husband owns a prominent roofing company. We both have weekends off. We have a 2 sons and a daughter. They are young adults and no longer live at home but visit often. We own a large home with 2 bedroom rental suite on edge of a small town close to buses and shopping. We have a small dog, two cats and even have some chickens for fresh eggs. I enjoy cooking healthy meals from our vegetable garden. We enjoy traveling and meeting new people.
