I married my best friend in 2007 and my life has been an amazing adventure ever since. We moved to Florida where I am a teacher and coached cheerleading, we bought our first home, got our second puppy, Kali a Rhodesian ridgeback, Chris decided to become an Army recruiter, and we decided it was time for a baby. SURPRISE! WE HAVE TWINS!
My favorite and most important role is a Mommy to beautiful, growing, energetic, boy/girl twins. It is the most exciting adventure of my life! The best part of my day is hearing them say Mommy and getting DOUBLE the baby kisses. I absolutely love snuggling and rocking my babies to sleep every night.
During the day, I have a rewarding and sometimes challenging career as a 9th grade science teacher. I know 9th grade?!?! Really?!?! I have a lot of patience and I think my students are awesome; they are coming to a new school (High School) meeting new people, making new friends, finding out who they are as young adults, learning how to be successful, the list of discoveries and growth I see in my students goes on. Most importantly I love teaching how cool science really is and how it affects their lives everyday. One of my favorite things I hear from my students is “OH!! Now I get it!” I love when a concept I am teaching finally clicks.

We are enjoying living in sunny Florida and have made many great new friends. However we find that we miss our family back in Michigan and 99% of our “vacations” are to “home”. One day we hope to be back there! |
