Hello everyone! Thank you so much for taking the time to visit my page! Here is a little bit about me!

I am living my dream!  Ever since I was in sixth grade, I wanted to be a teacher!!  Working full-time in the military, it took me 13 years to get my degree, but I finally graduated in 2016 from Old Dominion University in Virginia with a Master’s degree in Elementary Education.  I retired from the United States Air Force in October 2016, after 20 years of service as a Medical Logistics Supervisor.  I am blessed to have been able to serve my country. I have traveled to over 20 countries and I am not done yet!

I am a mother to four children: Naomi-24, Joshua-22, Emelia-17, and Madison-14. I have three pets. One Goldendoodle named Brady and I have two cats named Tessa and Max. After I retired, we moved to Port Charlotte; which was about five years ago. I was born in Falls Church, Virginia; however, I grew up in New England. I lived in Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Maine, but I call Maine home. I love the mountains and the beach. One day I will buy a cabin in the mountains and call that my forever home.

This past April, I became engaged to an amazing man- Timothy. I will be getting married in October and my new last name will be Gregory. Your child may tell you about it, as I will allow them to call me either Ms. Murphy or Ms. Gregory, to help with the transition. 

Here are a few of my favorites:

Food: Burgers or Tacos

Drink: Coffee or Iced Tea (No STARBUCKS)

Color: Yellow 

Book: The Bible

Season: Autumn

Sport: Football- Patriots!!

Animal: Manatees/Sea Turtles

Hobby: Spending time with my family, working out, being outside, and shopping
