Meet the Teacher

Jack and I have been together for (almost) 7 years and we just got married last summer! We went to the same middle school and high school, but never crossed paths until we were in college. Jack is a Paramedic and has recently got hired on the Grand Prairie Fire Department. I just graduated from the University of Texas at Arlington with a Bachelors in Elementary Education. I am now a Kindergarten Teacher in Dallas! We have 3 wonderful pets.. a sheltie named Max, a chihuahua named Ozzie, and a cat named Faith. We hope one day to expand our family with beautiful children!

Now for the Q&A:

Q: What would you be if you weren't a teacher?

A: There is one other job I was always curious about. When my little brother had to go through dialysis, he had a Child Specialist that would come visit him. She was basically a counselor for the children in the hospital. If teaching didn't work out, that would probably be my second choice.

Q: What are your hobbies?

A: I've recently found a love for reading! I get so excited when I get a new book! Other than that, I simply love spending time with my husband, friends, and family!

Q: When you were little, what did you want to be when you grew up?

A: I always wanted to be a teacher! But I also dreamed of being a singer because I love music... that ended quickly when I realized I couldn't sing!!

Q: What are your guilty pleasures?

A: Sweet Tea, anything from Taco Cabana, and reality tv shows!!

Q: What is your biggest fear?

A: Losing the ones I love and this might sound silly, but spiders! I HATE SPIDERS!

Q: When you're on vacation, where do you like to go?

A: My favorite vacation spot has always been Florida.. ONLY because my family is there! When my husband and I want a quick getaway, our favorite spot to go is San Antonio!

Q: What's the best advice you've ever received?

A: Trust in God's plan for you. Sometimes I question things in my life and I can really stress myself out about it! But my husband always reminds me that God has something planned, I just need to be patient and trust in him!

Q: What do you value most in others?

A: Loyalty, definitely loyalty.

Q: If you could choose one of your personality traits to pass down to your kids, what would it be?

A: Dependability. Whether it be through being there for a friend in need or being on time to work, I always try to stick to my word!

Q: If you could have lunch with anyone in the world...living or dead...who would it be?

A: Audrey Hepburn...she has always fascinated me through her acting, kind heart, and beauty!

Q: Now tell us one random thing about yourself:

A: Laughing is my favorite thing to do, but I have a silent laugh! Many people think I pretend to laugh or I give a "courtesy" laugh, but I promise I'm really laughing!! :)
