Mrs. Bates, Intro

Hi S2s!  What a great year we're going to have!  Since you all posted introductions, I thought it would only be fair if I did the same.  So here we go...

This is the 6th year I've been at MRGS, and I absolutely love it (in case you couldn't tell)!  Before that, I was the Conservation Education Specialist at the Lord Fairfax Soil & Water Conservation District.  I live, eat, breath, and sleep this stuff...but you could probably tell that!

I enjoy kayaking and canoeing, hiking, and cooking.  Even though my husband and I don't have any children together, my step son is your age - he is a senior in high school - YIKES!  He lives in Ohio, but he stays with us over the summer and during breaks from school.  So in lieu of human children, we have furry, 4-legged children - 2 dogs and 2 cats.  I started a blog about our critters over the summer (our2goldens.wordpress.com), but since school's started, I've gotten behind in posting pictures.  But here are just a few so you can see them:

Lucky (left) and Molly (right) - we adopted both through the Golden Retriever Rescue organization for Virginia (www.grreat.org).

 
Stormie (she was a feral barn cat that adopted me last year)

 
Roadie (he adopted me when my husband and I were passing through Kentucky 9 years ago!)

Here's something you or may not know...I am a certified SCUBA diver, and one day, I'd like to earn the certification of Master Diver.  

This is going to be a great year!
