What else would you like people to know about you?

I used to tell people I was under-employed and over-educated. I received my undergrad from the University of Michigan and my masters at the University of Arkansas. I had the great opportunity to study at Oxford and Cambridge while completing my graduate degree - legal communication with an emphasis on first amendment law - how useful is that?  I thought I was too old to study in England and it turned out the axiom "it's never too late" is completely true. It ranks as one of the most amazing experiences of my life. I studied with students from around the world with so many different life views and am so glad I took that journey.

Due to life circumstances (my parent's health) I took a leave of absence and did not end up returning to work at the WM Home Office. Among other things I took up golf and have met some amazing people in our league - a group I am very thankful to have joined.

Ellen at 6 Months - love this picture. One of our son's friends took it and they used it in a local magazine.

E on St Patrick's Day - they just sat her down for this photo - obviously she didn't like the idea.
