My maiden name is Ballard. I graduated from Tacoma Baptist in '88, went to college and twenty years later realized what I wanted to do when I grew up!!!! I am now a teacher, currently without a class to teach :( I love spending time with my husband. I tease him because I knew since 6th grade that he was my sole mate...it took him 16 years longer to figure it out...what is one of my favorite quotes? "God's timing is perfect". I stongly believe this!!
