I grew up in Crystal, MN. I am a middle child As soon as I graduated from college, I moved to a much warmer climate. I have decided I like the beach much more than the snow. I have taught all levels of elementary school for the last 31 years. I have been at Swansboro Elementary for the last 15 years. I have two sons. One is married and living in Wilmington. He has made me a Grandma recently. My youngest son has started his lifes journey at Johnson and Wales University in Charlotte. I have recently adopted my father and he is learning the southern way of life. I couldn't be prouder of my family.
