Bridget Verhaaren

Bridget Verhaaren resides in the Wasatch Mountains and is an avid fan of skiing and enjoys travel adventures with her husband, Gary Garner and their eight children (five “bonus” children). She has a BA in English from Brigham Young University and is currently attending the Vermont College of Fine Arts Creative Nonfiction MFA program. Her creative thesis is a memoir entitled, "The Husband Lessons: Death, Dying and The Art of Loving."

Who Do You Trust?

The baja sauce zings my tastebuds with fire from the ancho chili peppers. The light, flaky sauteed mahi mahi and fresh guacamole with lime make for fish taco perfection. Digging my toes deeper into the sand, I take another bite – a Chronic Taco party in my mouth. Gary and I sit on the warm sand and watch the waves crash onto the beach.
