About Us

Andy and I met on a blind date in Dec. 2005. One of my 7th grade students was his neice, and she set us up. Go figure. We saw each other every day after that! We were engaged by June and married in September of 2006. In January, 2008, we welcomed little Ethan into our home, and in August, 2010, little Addison arrived.

Andy is a diesel mechanic at Kennecott. I taught middle school science for ten years, and am now an evidence-based learning specialist for a school district.

You Gotta See This & Read That!

If you haven't yet seen this movie . . . you better get to the store! I haven't laughed so hard in a movie since Christmas Vacation and Tommy Boy! I absolutely thought it was hilareous. It does have some "naughty" parts, but man, it keeps you laughing from pretty much minute one! My favorite part is when she's in the bathroom taking her dear sweet time, and he's got to go. If you've seen it, you know what I mean! :)
I also just started reading a book called Stargirl. The counseling center at our school used some of their funds to purchase the book for each of our 1200 students, and all 50+ of our teachers. We are all reading it together, and I have to say that it is probably one of the cutest books that I've ever read. It's a very short, easy read, and it's very entertaining. Stargirl is a quirky high school student who cares more about everyone else than she does about herself. It really makes you reflect on the kind of person you are, and how simple things that you do really can make a big impact on others.

That is a great book, I love it. I read it with my "homeroom" class every year. The sequel, "Love, Stargirl" just came out last year and it is also really great.

I love star girl, so cute! I will have to get that movie. I was thinking about it last night but I got the last season of Greys Anatomy instead.
