So, since I don't write enough (other than comments on essays I've graded or outlines for handouts), I decided to join the bloggers of the world. Pear Tree, of course, refers to not one, but two, literary symbols in works of feminist literature. Can you name the story or the book that inspired me?

Right now my life consists of my very funny and lovable husband, our rowdy and sweet puppy, and the endless work, pain, and joy that I call the life of a teacher. I will elaborate shortly, but for now I will just say that God definitely has Evan, Annie, and me in a great state (gotta love Texas for all its brazen beauty!) with wonderful family nearby. We both feel purposeful in our jobs. It's not perfect--I'm sure I'll find something to rant about soon--but it's good. God bless. :)
