CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

Hum... I am currently living in Acworth, GA with my husband, Angus the boxer, and our cat, Mija. I like having friends over and cooking for them. I also love to travel and am quite addicted to Guatemala. During the school year I teach Spanish at a local high school.

PHILOSOPHY

enjoy life and appreciate all I've learned and the gifts I've been given
