First Post

I am a teacher at West Delaware HS. I have the privilege of teaching 9-12 grade students science.

In my spare time, I read, garden, attend musical events, and work with the Episcopal church.

I live on a farm in Strawberry Point, IA, with 5 kids, a husband, dogs, goats, chickens, cats, and pigs.

If I could go anywhere in the world, I would like to visit Europe for a 6 month trip.
