Jordan’s most meaningful aspiration, however, is that of being a mother, wife, sister, daughter, and friend. In her spare time, she enjoys participating in the music ministry at her church alongside her husband, Nick. Together her and her family also enjoy antiquing, traveling, gardening, and cooking.
