About Me

Hmm...where to start? I'm a middle school teacher and I live in Cartersville, GA. I love the beach, reading, traveling, cooking, hanging out with my sister and Aaron, and catching up with old friends. My favorite thing on Earth is traveling. I've been to England and Scotland and my next big trip is Switzerland, Italy, and France...I leave on May 28, 2009. I'm married to Jarrod and I have three pets, my cats Maggie and Milo and my dog Harley. That's about it...anything else you need to know, ask.

My Interests

Reading, traveling, being outdoors, hanging out with Jarrod, learning new things, and cooking. Traveling is my most favorite thing. The best trip I have been on so far is to England and Scotland. I hope to travel to Australia and Ireland within the next few years. I am also very interested in education and hope to work on my master's soon. I absolutely love to cook, and I think I'm not too bad at it (Jarrod loves it anyway)!I love my puppy!
