About Me

Timm and I have been together for 4+ years. Although it is a long distance relationship, we are very happy and hope to someday be together forever! We are lucky enough to see eachother once a month and we LOVE our time together! We have been through a lot and our love has only grown stronger because of it. We are best friends and soul mates. Timm has 2 boys, Griffin 10 and Maxx 8. I have TJ, 11 and Eliza 8. The kids love to be together and get along great! It is a little crazy when we are all together, but so much fun! We love our kids more than anything! Timm is a graduate of the University of Illinios with a degree in Engineering and I graduated from Ottawa University with my degree in Elementary Education. Timm has a great job that he loves with Caterpillar Machinery in Peoria, IL. and I teach jr. high at the best school in Mesa, Az., Kino. We both love our jobs and love what we do.

A little embarrassed that I'm not smiling! Guess I am at a protest! I'm sure it was the cute sign I made!

This past Christmas, I made Timm a quilt out of some of his old t-shirts. I spent hours picking the right shirts, getting the fabric, and sewing. It was a gift from my heart....and I LOVED every minute I spent on it!

March4Schools
March 4, 2009
Arizona State Capitol

Arizona's Legislators are cutting more than 1 billion dollars from public education over the next two years. Teachers are loosing their jobs, important programs (all day kindergarten, pre-K, music, etc.) are being cancelled, teachers salaries may be reduced, the number school days in a year are being shortened, class sizes are increasing....a HUGE impact on our children's FUTURE!! Arizona is 4th in the country on spending for our prison systems and 55th in the country for our per pupil funding (after the US Territories). What is wrong with our Legislators? The AEA (Arizona Education Association) organized a rally/march on Education Day at the state capitol. Some news stations reported about 20 thousand teachers, parents and students turned out. It was such a great feeling knowing that I was there trying to make a difference for my children and my students! We'll see if it worked!?!

Mom, TJ, and Eliza went to dinner with Grandma Linda, Papa Dale, and Uncle Daryl
at Native New Yorker.
Best Pals!!


Eliza with her ice cream after being sung to....she loves the attention!!


After dinner, we walked over to Bahama Bucks (Eliza's FAVORITE!) for dessert.
YUMMY!! watermelon with cream


At Grandma and Papa's house opening presents. Uncle Daryl gave her $20

Mom gave her softball equipment...Eliza is playing for the first time and couldn't be more excited! (just like her mom!)
a pink helmet, pink bag, and pink softball

Mom couldn't find pink cleats...so black will have to do!


Opening a present from Grandma and Papa
A BEAUTIFUL dress to wear after her baptism and at Uncle Jeffy's wedding

Grandma also took Eliza out of school to go to lunch and shopping to pick out more presents. She picked out shoes to wear with her dress, a purse, make-up, walkie-talkies, and candy. She had a great time! And mom loved them bringing lunch to her at school. What a great surprise!
