After graduation I went two Waycross College for 2 years and then I got my bachelor's degree from VSU. I taught for one year in Coffee County and then I got a job teaching 2nd grade at Blackshear Elementary School in Pierce County. After my 3rd year of teaching I earned my master's degree from Troy University. I married my husband on June 25, 2005 after about 5 years of dating (we met in college on a blind date!).
