A typical day in my life includes…
getting up at 5a to give my diabetic pup her insulin shot, then enjoying some quiet time. I go to work around 7a, where I teach Kindergarteners all day. After work, I head to the gym with a girlfriend, and finally land myself home right around 5:30p to make dinner and spend time with my husband.
I was born…
in Greencastle, Indiana, then grew up in southern Minnesota. I am a Midwest girl at heart!
My favorite thing about Arizona…
has to be all of the cacti and mountains! On my first trip to Phoenix about 9 years ago, I flew in at night. When I woke up with the sun the next morning, I was pleasantly surprised to see that there were beautiful mountains!
I’m listening to…
Air 1 on 105.5 – I love to start my day with some uplifting songs.
My family…
is spread out from Northern Wisconsin to Minnesota, Iowa, and Kansas – but we remain close-knit and I love that.
If I could have dinner with anyone, it would be…
a big group of friends – I love being out and having a good time with my people!
One thing I cannot live without…
a cup of coffee to start my day. Add a little creamer and I am alive!
When I was younger, I wanted to be…
funny all the time to make everyone smile and laugh.
I’m inspired by…
kind people. Anyone who can make you feel special, noticed, appreciated.
The one person who motivates me is…
my husband. He always tells me that I am capable of anything. He believes in me.
If I could change anything in the world, it would be…
building more community and harmony.
The perfect day would be…
a day off work enjoying my own schedule.
My first job was…
working in retail at ShopKo as a 16 year old.
My favorite escape…
watching the sun rise.
My life…
gives me a smile and a happy heart. I feel blessed to work with little children, come home every day to a loving husband (and cute pups!), have great friends & family and fulfilling hobbies.
I’m currently working on…
travel plans. When spring break and summer break are right around the corner, we like to have some adventures in place!
Always…
be kind. You could change someone’s day (and life!) with a smile, nice word or kind deed.
Never…
lose hope. There is so much more to life than the present. You never know what is coming into your life tomorrow!
Favorite Quote…
“Do not let your longing slay the appetite of your living.”
Biggest Dream…
to have more time with my loved ones, and not have to work so much.
My Pet Peeve(s)…
when someone is running late…oh wait a minute, that’s always ME! LOL!
