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.
