Stephanie Rice
I have been married to my husband Daniel since 2015, and we currently have a son named Elijah (2016) and a baby due in November of 2018. Both my husband and I are full time air traffic controllers which is what brought us to Albuquerque. When I am not working, I love to spend all the time I can with family going on walks, finding vegan restaurant options, and having kitchen dance parties. I also love to shop, work on home projects, and blog at Vectors to Motherhood .
