Little known facts about Mrs. Edwards:
I have been a baseball umpire.
I was the shortest student in all my classes up until 7th grade.
I have no cavities.
I love to workout, especially with weights.
I once had a pet newt and a pet hedgehog (not at the same time).
I have a coaching minor.
I never had braces, but wanted them so badly, I attempted to install some colored-coated wire myself-needless to say, it didn't work and I was very disappointed.
I used to drive an arts and crafts/sports bus (painted a lovely shade of sky blue) during my summer vacation from college
Yes, I do own jeans :)
