About Me

What can I say . . . I am loud, I am obnoxious, I teach high school history, take photos for fun, and play drums in a rockin' band (Foxfire)!!! Basically, I enjoy life to the fullest! I love music, hangin' with my friends (I happen to have the most awesome friends in the world and that includes Stephen, my wonderful husband), reading, and hanging with my dog, Theo!!!! If you want to check out some of my photos you can go to www.krishale.com. a portfolio is posted there. For more of your favorite band or if you happen to be a band I have taken pictures of, email me and I will send some your way. If you want to check out FOXFIRE, we are on myspace.

Anyone who has overcome adversity in their life yet managed to thrive. Those people that have not allowed their misfortune to become an excuse for current difficulties and failures.
