WHERE YOU CAN FIND ME THIS FALL
Happy Fall, Ya'll! When I'm not working with future homebuyers planning their upcoming home purchases, this Fall you'll find my family running (literally) around town at cross country meets for our middle school son and elementary daughter. Outside of meets we're looking forward to pumpkin picking at Hilger's, and trying out a new corn maze. We also enjoy the notso-scary haunted forest in Huntertown right before Halloween! Let's connect! Find me on Facebook & Instagram @lendingbylinds.
