Born and raised in Huntsville, Alabama, I attended David Lipscomb College (now Lipscomb University).   That gives you a pretty good idea of my age!   I married my wonderful husband of 25 years right out of college and entered into the world of banking.   We lived in a tiny upstairs apartment that also housed the “roach family.”  Needless to say, our move to a condo was welcomed.  Life was simple and exciting.  We had opportunities to travel and enjoyed every minute of it!

Our first daughter arrived on our four-year wedding anniversary.  I became a stay-at-home mom and quickly fell in love with it!  Daughter number two arrived about three years later and quickly became a middle child at 20 months after the birth of our son.  They are now in college and high school.  It won’t be long before our nest will be empty and that realization is a bit scary.

Ten years ago when our youngest child was in kindergarten I decided to join the staff at the preschool that my children attended.  It’s a sweet little school that has captured my heart. 

Becoming a part of ‘On the HomeStretch’ has been like a dream…and I don’t want to wake up!  I enjoy working on the computer and discovering new technologies that are out there waiting to be grabbed and put into motion.  I enjoy the thrill each accomplishment brings, no matter how big or small.  I’m loving each day and looking forward to tomorrow!
