Jennifer later went to The University of North Dakota where she followed her passion and got her master’s degree in social work. She was very proud of her accomplishment.
Jennifer moved to Minnesota where she met the love of her life, Paul. They grew close and married in 2008. She gained a stepdaughter Allison (25) and a stepson Ryley (16) who she raised as her own and loved very much. She chose to stay home with her children because her family meant more to her than anything. She became a grandmother in 2016 to Allison’s child Addelyn Moore(6yrs) and again in 2022 with Noah Chapman(6m) and couldn’t stop talking about them. She loved them and they loved and adored her.
While at home she conquered her other passion, cooking. Everyone loved her culinary masterpieces. Her enchiladas were Paul and Ryley’s favorite.
