I work as an Elementary school instructional assistant. I am also a mom to four teenagers, and married for 20 years. I quite enjoy learning languages, with a current focus on German, which I have been learning since March 2016 and endeavor to continue learning until I am fluent. In July 2017, I spent two weeks in Germany. My hobbies include: traveling, photography, reading, writing/blogging, cooking, gardening, arts & crafts, spending time with my family, and meeting with my friends.
