Trace and I were married on June 24, 1983 at McAllen, Texas.  We lived in Fayetteville, Arkansas for the first 10 years of our marriage.  I worked as a secretary at the Department of Animal and Poulttry Science, University of Arkansas. Trace is a Journeyman Plumber and Certified Welder for Multi-Craft Contractors (Springdale, AR).  Our daughter, Ashley was born in 1988.  In July 1996, we moved to Jay, Okllahoma.   We recently celebrated our 35th wedding anniversary this summer.  Ashley attended kindergarten through high school here at Jay.  She graduated from high school in 2007 and graduated from Northeastern A&M College.  She married Dylan Dysart from Grove, Oklahoma.   We live on a farm approximately 10 miles east of Jay.  We have cattle, 4 beagles and Ashley's horse, Misty.  

I enjoy teaching at Jay Middle Schoo!  One of my favorite things to do is travel! Some of my favorite places are Alaska, New York and Washington D.C.   I have alot of fun attending summer camps and workshops with my fellow science colleagues (Cindi Collins and Jennifer Daftari Goldner).  I like outdoor activities such as hiking, 4-wheeling and aquatic activities such as boating and kayaking.  My favorite landscapes are: waterfalls, mountains and oceans.  I also enjoy visiting historical landmarks, national parks and shopping at flea markets.
