Laurie Cole
Laurie grew up just down the road from the heart of Nashville. After school, she moved away with her military husband and enjoyed the military life from west coast to east coast. When her husband retired from the Marine Corps, they returned to Nashville. She has been a stay at home mom for 16+ years and has two teenagers and a baby. (Yes, the little one was planned!) She loves spending time with her family, reading historical fiction and memoirs, fitness, shopping, wine, and traveling. Her favorite travel destinations (so far) are Israel and Germany. You can catch her taxiing her kiddos around just south of Nashville, where she lives with her husband and children.
