Hometown: I grew up an “Army brat,” so I didn’t have the traditional hometown. I was born in Texas, and I did visit some amazing places while growing up, including Germany, Italy, Austria, and Switzerland, as well as Kansas, Oklahoma, and Kentucky. Shortly after we got married, my husband and I settled in Huntsville, Ala., and we lived there for more than 11 years, which is where ourt hree boys were born. We moved back to Louisville in December of 1993.
