|| =Life Before TJ:= I was born on a dark stormy night. It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it I am a native of Arizona, and moved to Colorado to be near my boyfriend (bka Mr. Barber). I have worked for DPS most of my adult life, at Gove Middle School (now a parking lot on 14th and Colorado!); Hamilton Middle School; GW and now at TJ. I am a black belt, and also teach and practice TaeKwonDo after school at [|J.W. Kim TaeKwonDo] in Greenwood Village.
