Welcome to second grade! Second grade is the very BEST grade ever! I began my teaching career in 1991 graduating from Middle Tennessee State University in Murfreesboro, TN with my bachelors and masters degree. My husband, David, and I were married in 1996. We grew up together in Tullahoma, TN. We have two children, Emily (ER trauma nurse at HH) and Sam (junior engineering major at Auburn University). We enjoy spending time together as a family cooking good food, watching movies, and playing board games. Another activity I enjoy is gardening and watching all the birds in my backyard. I have three dogs;Tess, Cooper and my granddog Ralphie. They bring me many laughs and cuddles every day.
