About Me

I love my life! How different is that? I have a wonderful husband who is willing to do anything for me...but I am willing to do the same for him...so we work well! He suffers through my bad habits, and I deal with his sleepwalking. It's a trade-off. We live in Milwaukee, and are slowly but surely making home improvements! Some are on hold or being postponed , but we're working on it!
I married my long-term boyfriend in 2004. We had a lovely ceremony and reception in the south burbs, and then we moved to the land of beer and cheese! We play volleyball in the summer. Our team is horrible, but it's nice to get out of the house! We also just joined a couple's bowling league. Yes...me...bowling. So there's no chance that we're going to win! At this point, all we can hope for is a good handicap!
I am a full time teacher with the public school district (who shall remain nameless...i've heard people are getting fired over their myspace profiles!). I teach a class of children with severe cognitive disabilities. It is a challenge, but it's what I've wanted to do for a long time! Pat is a technology trainer with a law firm downtown, which he loves as well!
Our son, Keegan, is a year and a half now, and he's growing and learning every day! and we're learning just as much as he is...he discovered that if he takes the end of the toilet paper, he can make a streamer all the way across the house! and we learned that now we have to keep the bathroom door closed!
