We are actively involved in our church, Canvas Community Church here in Manchester. We are also big UT VOLS fans!!!!! GO BIG ORANGE!!!! I love collecting pigs of any kind and spending time with my family. I have always wanted to be a teacher for as long as I can remember. To me, teaching is a passion, not a job. :)
