Welcome to MY Homepage!!!!
NEW: (4-17-04) There has been a lot going on lately, so I just got back from relieving my stress. See this Hummingbird. It isn't the best picture, but I will get a better one soon.
I spent the Christmas and New Year's holidays in Barbados again. That was quite fun and a great get away from the loss here at home. It gave me a chance to deal with things and relax. Not many pictures taken this trip, but I will post them soon on the Barbados page. As for now, I am posting the pictures of my Valentine's flowers from Nick and his family. The Balloon , Flowers , closer view , and the TeddyBear with chocolate are from Nick. The Flowers in pretty vase are from his godmother, Patpat.
For those who have not yet heard, we lost my grandma (Edith McKain) on November 18th, 2003. That same day, the family dog (Annie, a beagle) was put down. She had taken ill the day my grandma had her fall. After that she was never the same, so when Grandma died, we decided to put the dog down with her. They were good friends in life and are now together in death. To replace that dog, my brothers have now adopted a new dog, a minature pincher(sp) named Hope .

At my computer class for Educators in April 2001, we worked on WebQuests in groups. Here is my groups webquest. It isnt completely done yet, but its a good start.

A little about myself:
Hi. Well I just graduated in May 2003 from New Mexico State University (NMSU). I have just completed my Master's in Special Education.
I grew up in Casper, Wyoming.
In my free time, (which isn't often) I like to write. I will write anything that I feel. I've written stories and plays, but my favorite things to write are poems and letters. Slowly I will post some of my writing. (UPDATED August 7, 2003)
I am a big Disney fan as some people know.
