  3. Raton, New Mexico sign Move I moved to Raton, New Mexico in 1983 with my parents, younger brother and older sister. We moved because my dad was offered a new job. It was a easy transition for me. I started fourth grade with a new group of classmates who welcomed me.

  4. Graduate HS I graduated from Raton High School in May 1992. One of my older sisters gave me a “perm” the night before. I hated it and washed it out immediately. She was so mad at me!!

  5. NMSU - New Mexico State University Las Cruces, NM I moved out of my parents’ house as soon as I graduated from high school and moved into a dorm at NMSU. This place would become my home for the next 5 years.

  6. Rudy I met Rudy when I was in my 2nd year of college. He was in the Army and stationed at Ft. Bliss, Texas. We were 19 years old and fell in love in a short amount of time.

  7. Married Rudy and I married on November 9, 1996 in Las Cruces, New Mexico. Both of our parents were happy for us but worried that we were too young.

  8. Bachelor’s degree I graduated with a Bachelor’s of Science in Elementary Education Degree from NMSU in December 1997. I was beyond proud of myself!!!

  9. 1st year I started teaching at Mountain View Middle School in August 1998. I was 24 years old, both nervous and excited. I taught 7th grade Language Arts and Math as well as 8th grade Language Arts. I soon became pregnant that same year.

  15. Marathon I completed a marathon (26.2 miles – I walked/jogged it) in October 2007 to raise funds for my mom’s cancer. I raised over $2000!! My mom and dad were at the finish line. She (my mom) had lived much longer than the doctors ever expected.

  16. August 14, 2010 On August 14, 2010 – my mom passed away. She was 67 years old. My dad and mom were married for over 50 years. It was an extremely difficult time for me and my extended family. I had a rough year teaching.
