From an early age, Julie had a love for animals, especially horses. She enjoyed horseback riding for many years and volunteered as a judge at regional competitions. To the surprise of her friends and family she became an avid fan of PBR Bull Riding. In her spare time she created many beautiful cross stitch items and loved to give them as gifts. Other hobbies included shopping, decorating, and watching college football. Julie was always on the search for the perfect hamburger.
