Hello!

graphic tee

In what felt like the blink of an eye, I have gone from full-time wife to my sweet husband, hands-on mom to my two beautiful daughters and elementary school librarian to a retired, empty nester with lots of time on my hands. Join me on my journey to rediscover who I am. Glad you are here...

05.05.2023 Happy anniversary (and Cinco de Mayo) t 05.05.2023 Happy anniversary (and Cinco de Mayo) to these lovely birds.  So glad they found each other in orientation at UTEP. They have weathered some storms. But like a good Timex watch they've taken a licking and kept on ticking. 

I love you both and those precious babies you've cooked.
