My name is Dena Jansen and I live in Buda, Texas (said: byou-duh) with my husband and two kiddos! I was born, raised, and currently still live in the same suburbs I grew up in, just south of Austin, Texas. Most of my immediate family live less than 10 miles from me and I love it that way since I am a firm believer that it does, in fact, take a village to get a family raised! My daughter once asked if we were “city” or “country” people - and I guess I’d have to say a little of both. I married a farmer so we prefer wide open spaces, enjoy our annual livestock shows and rodeos, and the Texas hill country. I also spent most of my career commuting into the city to work. So my answer to my daughter is that I’ve been fortunate to meet amazing people and have adventures in both the city and the country, so I think we get the best of both worlds.
