|  My Oldest and Dearest Furry Friend
Holly, our 14 year old Bichon Frise, governs the roost. She thinks she is royalty! And don't let her 10 pound size fool you-she will chase our 3 year old Lab, Tootsie out of the room in a second. Tootsie is very aware of her Junior position in the family, and is quite respectful of Queen Holly.
Holly Rules!
Nothing is quite as uplifting after a hard day, as watching your pets interact with one another . They can be so comical at times! A good laugh daily is great for the soul.

 Tootsie
Our three year old, 80 pound, very loved Chocolate Lab. She thinks she is a "lap" dog...she is very confused!
My life experiences have included working as a Flight Attendant for an Overseas Airline based out of New York City. I did quite a bit of traveling to places such as Paris, The Azores, Germany, San Juan, The Bahamas and a few other fun places.
I spent 13 years (off and on) working for our family business-Hershey's Restaurant-in Gaithersburg, MD.
My first job was folding pie boxes at age 13 for .50 cents an hour. It took a while, but I bought my first horse with that money! I also learned to cook, served food, and anything else that needed to be done.
Owned and operated by my Grandparent's-Charles and Doris Hershey until 1969 when my Father, Tom Hershey joined the business so my Grandparent's could retire. Well...both of my Grandparent's continued working another 20+years-almost up to the day of their passing. What wonderful people they were and great role models for me.
Dad carried on, and eventually sold the business in 2003(after 30 years of serving the best fried chicken in the area)! He has since "retired" to the sunny South, and I miss him terribly. He spends the Summers with my family which we love!
 I have come to realize, you are never too old to be a Daddy's girl. Dad is my favorite person in the world! He is my voice of reason- and has continued to be a loving, strong and supportive guide in my life. I encouraged him to get his Real Estate license in Maryland, which he did, and am trying to convince him to work with me on my team. He is a sharp business man and a quick wit, which is a great combination!
Prior to getting my Real Estate license I took many, many part-time college courses working towards a degree in Social Work (while juggling three busy boys at home). It was quite an endeavor, and one I had to put on hold for the time.
In many ways, I feel I have earned my degree while working in Real Estate for 9+ years. It is the best of all worlds for me! I like to change things for the better, and am a problem solver by nature. I thrive on assessing and discovering solutions to problems and I get my share of "challenges" to resolve in our ever changing Real Estate Market.

 Personal
Married to my wonderful husband, Dave Brunzell, on New Year's Eve of 2005. I am a lifetime resident of Maryland-born and raised in Montgomery County. Our family relocated to Florida for 5 years, returning to Gaithersburg in 1969. I attended Gaithersburg Junior High upon our return to the area, and graduated from Gaithersburg High School.
We currently live in Urbana-(Southern Frederick County). I love the Country setting and enjoy gardening, mowing our two acres of grass (on the riding mower, of course!) We are just one mile from Rt.270, but feels like we are a world away from civilization.
I love nature and have become fascinated with the various types of birds in our area. Every year a Sparrow builds a nest in one of our many birdhouses. It is so cute to hear the baby "peeps" once the eggs have hatched. Mother bird brings them food she gathers from the yard, and they all chirp in harmony as they are fed! They fly away one at a time, and that is it until the following Spring.
We spend lots of time outdoors grilling steaks and spending family time together on the Gazebo.
We enjoy entertaining friends and family and do quite a bit of that as well.
We recently built a second home in Murrell's Inlet, South Carolina which we sneak off to for quiet time.
I am the Mother of three boys (Oh Boy!), ages 14, 19 and 21. They keep me standing at attention 24/7, but keep life interesting! I would like to include photos of them but am having a hard time finding anything that closely resembles what they really look like. Guess it is a "boy thing" to see who can make the most outrageous face when being photographed by Mom. I am told this is a "phase"??
Dave has three grown children in the Montgomery County area and three darling Grandchildren.
