Trivia about Kris
The biggest mistakes I’ve ever made:

• Golf (with my hubby and friends)

Something strange: I used to be a ridiculous neat freak. Everything had to perfect and in its place including the legs on our bar stools, the kitchen faucet, vacuum lines in the carpet, etc… I also vacuumed every night before I went to bed.

I assisted with coordinating the logistics for the Denver Parade of Homes in 2006 and 2007.
