About Me

I've been the teacher of 13-15 wonderful fourth graders for the past five months and the wonderful wife of an awesome husband for the past six months! Teaching is amazing.....goodness knows that if it wasn't, I sure couldn't stick with it with everything that goes on with public school politics. I have wonderful friends and a totally awesome family......and my niece Zoey is the cutest little bean sprout in the whole wide world!

My Interests

HOCKEY.....mostly Central Hockey League stuff, but I also like NHL. I love watching the Tulsa Oilers kick butt! Moose, teaching, reading, fishing, laughing at Andrew when he says WEIRD stuff in his sleep, playing Donkey Konga, eating chips and salsa, and sitting on the back porch swing.
