It is where my career started and continues to grow. I attended Illinois State University and received my masters at Aurora University. I am married to Mr.Rainaldi.   He is a 4th Grade teacher at Grande Park.  We have a little dog Reggie, that the kids will hear a lot about. We named him after the ISU mascot. He is a whopping 7 lb. Yorkshire terrier.  Little Tyler decided to join our family on May, 18th.  He is now 3 months and is smiling a lot! I will try to have my husband post a picture soon! We have had a great summer!  We ave gone on many walks and have had many visitors to see Tyler and swim in our pool when it was hot!  I have truly enjoyed being able to be home with Tyler as long as I have.  He has grown so much.  Recently, we went to see the Harry Potter Exhibit at the Museum of Science and Industry and we went to my in-laws lake house a couple of times.  Other than that we enjoyed our time at home relaxing.
