About Me

I love my job as a SPEECH-LANGUAGE PATHOLOGIST! I work full time with deaf and hard of hearing students, ages 3 - 13, at a beautiful school in the hilly countryside. Many of these students wear cochlear implants, which has proven to make a world of difference for these kids.I have a 15 year old daughter finishing her first year of high school, and a 20 year old son in the Army National Guard, just back from Maryland where he trained as a light wheel mechanic. He's home to get his AA for the next two years. I have been married nearly 28 years this coming June; however, my husband wanted out of the marriage this past year, so I've been struggling with the issues that surround a person going through divorce. We tried mediation, unsuccessfully, and are now trying to work cooperatively through our own lawyers. I'm learning to trust God for my needs and desires as I head toward a very different "new reality" in 2008.Christmas Linebacker

My Interests

PHOTOGRAPHY:I like to draw from some of the photos I take, but some photos turn out to be the art I look for. Underwater photography would interest me at some point down the line....expensive! DRAWING: PENCIL ART is my way of relaxing, which includes a renewed interest in photography since I mostly draw from the images I capture with my digital camera. I enjoy black/white, but also hope to learn color pencil techniques.CAMPING, HIKING, KAYAKING, BIKING AND BOATING I enjoy outdoor activities whenever possible, which I hope will include a serious biking hobby very soon. I also enjoy a serous game of ping-pong! CLICK ON PHOTOBOOK TO ACTIVATE, THEN PLACE CURSOR OVER PAGE YOU WISH TO TURN.

I'd like to meet:

People from all over the world.
My kids have cousins in Canberra, Australia, where I went with my in-laws for five weeks, touring the eastern coastline from Cairns to Melbourne. We went SCUBA diving out in the Great Barrier Reef, I held a koala, fed some rather tall kangaroos, visited with picnicing emus and fell in love with the country.COUSINS IN AUSTRALIA
