I retired from the Tupelo Public School System after 31 years. I taught 7th and 8th grade Science for all those years at the same place! This past November (07), I went back to the Middle School to tutor the 8th grade students who didn't pass the state test last year. Now, this is a challenge!!! My life was changed a lot 5 years ago. I was blessed with the most wonderful gift of all from God - Ainsley. I stay very busy with this little princess! Between church activities, ballet, gumnastics, children's choir, t-ball, birthday parties, etc, we stay on the road! In my spare time, I scrapbook her many activities. Ainsley is so precious in every way, and I cherish every day with her. We have so much fun together! I never knew how wonderful little girls could be! She has changed my life in so many positive ways. I am very thankful for her and the gift of motherhood again!
O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console; to be understood as to understand; to be loved as to love; For it is in giving that we receive; it is in pardoning that we are pardoned; it is in dying that we are born again to eternal life." - Saint Francis Prayer.

My Interests

Raising Ainsley to be the best person she can be, and scrapbooking her life!




I'd like to meet:

Jesus at the Pearly Gates.

Movies:

Anything with John Wayne, Al Pacino or Richard Gere! Lonesome Dove is the all time greatest movie! I like comedies. Don't like sci-fi or horror flllicks. A good romance is ok once in a while.

Television:

I don't watch much TV. If it is on, it is tuned in to Noggin network or Sprout for Ainsley! Lately she is enjoying Dancing with the Stars!!

Books:

I read a lot to Ainsley!! Does that count?! We do read high quality stuff most of the time - Bible stories, old fairy tales, etc.
