About Me

I'm now a teacher near Chicago- 5th grade. I've been MARRIED for 3 years now to Ben Hauert (sorry to those who weren't invited to the wedding... dont be mad). We lived in New Zealand for 6 months while I was learning how to be a better teacher and moved back here in Dec of 04. We now live in the West Chicago Suburbs and are the proud parents of our baby boy- Aidan Benjamin.

My Interests

I love my summers as a teacher- I get to sit at the pool, catch up with people, travel, hike, and breathe. I love to walk around forest preserves and just think. I guess I'm kinda a loner. I love that my husband understands me for who I am and loves me to no end. Other "interests": reading, hiking, outdoor stuff, and I listen to music almost everywhere I go....all day long. I like to find beauty in everyday things. I dont like people who get too caught up with themselves and material stuff. I like my friends :) and I like friends who like to watch Friends. ha.

I'd like to meet:

I'd like to meet famous authors... specifically Sharon Creech, Sylvia Plath, as well as Henry Nouwen (even though he's dead) so I can pick their brains for a while.

Music:

Right now its Coldplay (i know most people are thinking LAME..but I love them), Mates of State, Dashboard Confessional, Travis, Cake, Rosie, Jack Johnson, Jimmy Eat World, Jude, Rosie Thomas, Britta Phillips, and other bands of the indie rock persuasion...and whatever band Morty is playing in (we will always be fans!) Oh, and I also listen to the occasional country station. Everyone needs a little cowboy once in a while I say. YEE-HAW! (Get it from my daddy- the wanna be cowboy).

Movies:

I HATE going to the movies because my legs are too stinkin long to be comfortable while spending $15 bucks....seriously why pay to be uncomfortable? Maybe I should get netflix...

Television:

Arrested Development, Friends, The Office(British Version), LOST, Grey's Anatomy

Books:

The Bible...duh! The Way of the Heart- Henry Nouwen. Ben is into reading Wally Lamb books right now... I tried and they are just too depressing for me. I like kid books because they're happy! I also love classics. My favorite book of all time is Sister Carrie... classic..read it.

Heroes:

Abby Greer- those of you who know her understand. I like to think of everyone I meet as a hero, special to me somehow. I never forget all you people out there I havent talked to in years! Really, I dont! I also think my man is my hero- hes great. I couldnt ask for more.
