    • About Me

      I have been married for 19 years to a wonderful man. We have two beautiful children- a son, 14 and a daughter, 10. We also have a great dog, our Dauschand, Jake. I have been teaching special education for 21 years. I work with students who have moderate/severe disabilities. I lost my father to cancer in 2002 and my sister to cancer in April, 2007. She was only 41 and my best friend. I miss them so much. Both my mom and I are having such a hard time. I live in KY and my mom is in VA.

      I love to be with my family, read true crime stories (especially Ann Rule), swim, take pictures and teach my special needs kids. I am back in school working toward my certification to become a Director of Special Education.

      I lost my sister in April 2007. She lost a battle with brain cancer. Becky had battled brain tumors off and on since 1991. She was 41 and my best friend. I lost my dad to esophageal cancer in 2002. I hope to make some new friends here.
