CURRENT MISSION

"Be where your feet are." - 1 Tim. 6:6

The quote reminds me to be present and appreciate the here and now. It's definitely a work in progress for me.

ABOUT ME
During the school year, I like to keep things fairly simple. In the evenings, I enjoy taking the dogs on walks along nearby trails. On weekends, I relax and start the morning slowly with a cup of coffee. Tom and I may sometimes venture out to go camping, skiing, or other similar activities.

PHILOSOPHY
My job as teacher takes a lot of my energy at the moment. I'm passionate about collecting food waste and citizen science projects. I love taking my students outside and learning about their environment.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music
We love listening to live and local music, we especially enjoy folk, acoustic, bluegrass, and soft rock. We are Dave Matthews fans.

Movies
Tom is definitely the movie guy. He enjoys watching the history channel and documentaries on PBS. I'll join him as an easy way to unwind.

Books
Since I am a naturalist at heart, I especially love learning about animals and nature. We'll read mediations to grow in our faith.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Exploring Namibia

Teach, Learn, Share

I love this quote and think about it when I need to be grounded, "Want what I have. Need what I got. Share what I have."

Someone is praying for the very things I take for granted.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Stories. Walks. Blueberry spots. We enjoy sharing our Copper River salmon, too.
