Other Things About Me:

My husband, Buddy and I have been in Lewisville for a year at our new church & we love it!
We got married on April 28, 2007. We had a beautiful disney themed wedding it was so much fun all the children dressed up as their favorite princesses and characters. Dorky to some but I thought it was fabulous because all the children were so precious! Of course, we honeymooned at Disney and we were both sad on the plan ride home back to reality. My husband is my perfect match because he as much of a big kid as I am!
We have 3 dogs Nala(4), Simba(3) and Rasha(2) (yup, they're all Disney names)! They are my babies and they take all of my attention when I'm at home! They are all "mama's" babies and follow me all thru the house.

I love working with children! I absolutely love them! I love their energy, their smiles, their innocence, their abundant faith and their amazing ability to trust anyone. There is nothing greater than hearing a child pray for there mom, dad, dog and cat or even that Darth Vader would become a good guy so that he doesn't go to the bad place! Those are the moments that make each day special. They are a very precious gift from the Lord and its very humbling that the Lord has called me to work with such sweet souls!
