A little about Mrs. Cabrera-

I am a proud mom of two. Emberly is 12 and Ari is 11. They both attended Carlisle, and now they'll both be at Schimelpfenig across the field! My husband Daniel and I have been married for 13 years. Daniel is a Police Officer.

Fur family-

We have two boxers, Dexter and Dolly. I grew up with horses. We have Q, Fire-Cracker and Taxi. I like to go out to my parents' farm as often as I can. Q and Taxi and I enjoy parades and play days when we can.

A few Favorites-

I have a slight Dr. Pepper addiction. My kids and I love Chick Fila and Raisin' Canes. My husband and I love to read so we are on our kindles when we have the time. We also love going to the movies together, Cinemark Movie Club yay! I love some Amazon shopping -https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/U547ES39IOXL?ref_=wl_share
