My Favorites
My Family! My daughter, Amanda, is a 5th grade teacher at Rosemeade
Elementary in Carrollton. She and Keith have been married four years and
have a baby girl, Kali Rae. They have 2 dogs, Harley a German Shepherd,
and Cosmo a Jack Russell Terrier. My son, Adam, is working for Harris
County Sheriff's Department and will soon be attending the academy to be a
deputy sheriff with a canine. My dog, Mischief, is a miniature Schnauzer.
I enjoy gardening, eating out, watching movies, shopping, watching Amanda
place soccer and going to Keith's softball games, and spending time with
family and friends on the weekends.
