I grew up on a farm and ranch in rural west Texas where I spent most of my time playing outdoors.I particularly enjoyed taking walks with my dad down the creek that ran through our property, hunting for arrowheads, and catching baby Texas horned lizards!Later on, I attended Angelo State University and Texas Woman’s University to get my teaching certificate and my library science degree.The 2012-2013 school year will mark my 25th year in education. My husband and I enjoy gardening, traveling, spending time with friends and family, and our 6 grandchildren!
