I find myself writing you from Mississippi. Yes, Mississippi the state. Most of what you hear about this state (even the jokes) is true. I never thought that I would be living here! My husband, Pete from Fulton, IL has transfered our family from Davenport to Peoria to Rockford back to Peoria and then down south to Mississippi. Pete works in Memphis, TN which is across the street from our house. Pete and I have been together for 16 years and married for 11 years. We have 2 daughters Megan 12 going on 30 (any advice?) and Kaelyn 10. Kaelyn is just like me.. God help her! We also add to our family 2 dogs Chloe and Gracie.

While in Peoria, I fell in love with addictions counseling. It is my true passion. Here in Mississippi I teach 3rd grade. I loved counseling, I like teaching. I love the school schedule though!!!

I am looking forward to rekindling friendships, so please feel free to e-mail me. By the way, for all of you who live in Camanche where are you? I get home 4 to 5 times a year and besides Amy Dryden's parents I never see anyone.
