: About Me

Born and raised in Indiana, I attended Purdue University, graduating in 2006 with both a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics Teaching and a Bachelor of Arts in English. I also have the accompanying credits for classes on teaching English. As the wife of a high school teacher, I unofficially continue to use my training in education, brainstorming and problem solving for the benefit of his classes although I am not in the classroom myself. I have currently chosen to remain at home where I can take care of my three young children.  When I have spare time, I enjoy reading, catching up on current events and watching sermons on TV.

Why I write ...

is for the mental exercise.

What I am reading/watching/listening to ...

is the sound of my kids making a mess-I mean exploring the world around them.

My first job ...

was doing the inventory for my mom's antique business.

My best moment ...

is when I cross anything off the to-do list.

My inspiration ...

is the list of goals I wrote during my first year of marriage.
