About Me

Ok, well I am a fun-loving gal who loves fun. (ha) Ok, really...I currently teach high school English to 10th & 11th grade students. Reading is one of my passions and I am rarely without a book or 3. I also paint and draw (time permitting and that is not often right now) and volunteer my artistic abilities at the church I attend. I love my family and recently I became a full-fledged aunt ( I have a half-niece and a half-nephew and they are awesome!). I should say, my family makes me laugh a lot as well as cringe a lot-but that is what a family is supposed to do right? I have a little dog named Sparky and she is a constant source of laughter and silliness in my life:) I love blood red toe nail polish, music that moves my body and mind, filet mignon, collecting quotes, diet coke, anything smothered in chocolate, ice cream when I am sad, turning my face up to the rain, great speakers and their speeches, laughing until there is no sound and crying at beautiful things.

My Interests

Reading a book at the beach, hiking on a clear day, ice cold milk, painting, drawing faces, going to long dinners with friends, rain on my face, painting my toenails blood red, eating mint chip ice cream, laughing out loud, melt in your mouth chocolate chip cookies, collecting quotes, Greecian blue paint, traveling, watching a movie in the middle of the day, playing video games, kissing my my nephew's pink baby face, my doggie Sparky and learning more everyday.
