Thanks for visiting my webpage.  This is my third year at Joe K. Bryant and my seventeenth year to teach.  My husband and I graduated from Texas A & M Commerce.  My degree is in special education and counseling.  My husband is a real estate broker and we own The Oil Depot in Allen.  I have taught 4th, 5th and 6th grade regular and resource classes.  I have seven children.  Our oldest daughter, Aleshia, graduated from Utah State University. She and her husband Elliott celebrated the birth of Cole in August.  Natasha, received her degree from Brigham Young University and teaches second grade in Lovejoy ISD.  She and her husband, Jabob, live in Plano.  Zachary graduated from Texas Tech University and is going to graduate school at Oklahoma City University where he will receive a degree in International Business and Russian Studies.  He is married and they added Alexander to their family in December. Lindsey is going to school in Utah and just came back from an 18 month mission for our Church in Tokyo.  Brycen is in the West Indies area serving a mission and will be home April 2008.  Dustin is going to Collin County Community Collge and Whitney just graduated from Anna High School and is going to cosmetology school.  I love to read, teach, scrapbook, travel and do genealogy.

  If books could have more, give more, be more, show more, they would still need readers, who bring to them sound and smell and light and all the rest that can't be in books.  The book needs YOU.
