Roots: I was born in Los Angeles and grew up in Murrieta, CA. I went to college at USD. Post college I moved to Chicago and lived there for seven years. I never thought I would live in Chicago that long, but I absolutely loved it (other than the winters!) I missed San Diego so much though and moved back six years ago. Family Life: My husband Terence and I met in Chicago and it didn't take much convincing to move to San Diego after a year of dating. He proposed to me in Paris

Roots: I was born in Los Angeles and have lived in San Diego since I was 8. I grew up near San Diego State University, which is where I also attended college and obtained my Bachelor of Science degree in Biology, with an emphasis in Zoology. Family Life: My husband, Jeff, and I have will been married for 10 years at the end of October. We have been together for 13 years. We have 2 human children, Sammi (7) and Bodie (3), 3 dogs (Jolie, Ruby, and Tanner), and 3 red eared slide
