About Me

I've been with the man I love, cherish and adore for 15 years. We are best friends and I can't imagine life without him. I am a teacher of children with special needs and have taught for 30 years. I am artistic and find creating something to be very calming because I lose myself in the process of creativity. I love to write, and would like to write children's books after I retire. I am also an avid reader. I love history and/or historical fiction, novels of any kind, humor, or a great love story. I can sometimes have a twisted or sarcastic sense of humor depending on the situation and often find humor in things that others don't, but that's what makes me who I am.

Interests

I love to travel, read, dance, watch old movies from the 30's and 40's, and I'm into sports, particularly football, basketball and baseball. I am an avid fan of Cleveland sports teams, The Ohio State Buckeyes, and my alma mater - the University of Mount Union Purple Raiders football team (11 Div. 3 Championships since 1993) I love to go to new places and experience new things and I am willing to try almost anything as long as it doesn't gross me out!
