| Introduction | I was born and raised in Syracuse, Nebraska. My family consisted of my parents and my two older brothers and an older sister. I loved my childhood. My family is still extremely close today, which is why I chose to move back to Syracuse two years ago. I graduated college with my teaching degree from Midland Lutheran College and was fortunate to get my first teaching job right away. I started my career teaching fifth and sixth grade for Mead Elementary School and had a wonderful experience. After two years there, I moved home to be closer to my family and to my boyfriend and to teach fifth and sixth grade Language Arts for Elmwood-Murdock. I also am the assistant high school track coach. I married my wonderful husband in June of 2007 and we bought a house in Syracuse. In September, I found out I was pregnant and I had my son on May 21st. The last day of school! We are so excited about this new experience and feel very fortunate to get so lucky so fast, even though it is a little scary to think about a baby and finishing my masters. |
