Personal Information
Hello, my name is Karen Joshu. I am from Colorado, which makes me a Denver Bronco Fan! I am married to a high school science teacher and have two wonderful children. My daughter Amy just turned 30 and lives in Portland, OR. My son Clint is 28 working and going to school here in Phoenix. The biggest baby in our family however, is our dog Wilson. Wilson is a sweet (not so little) mutt that our neighbors found in the desert and we adopted after a little arm twisting (we don't regret it for a moment!)
I enjoy hiking, camping, traveling, reading, movies, but most of all spending time with my family.
