Thank God For Google!!!!

My old friend, Sue, called out of the blue this week. As we were catching up, it occured to me that our 20 year reunion would be held this year. The events of the past year pushed thoughts such as these to the back burner, as I imagine it did for most of us. Thank God for Google; I was able to find this great blog that you all put together. You all are awesome for doing this!

So twenty years for me in a nutshell...here goes. I went to Southern
Miss for a couple of years after graduating, but being naive, etc., I dropped out after two years. I married my high school sweetheart around that time, too. After seven years of bartending made me realize that coming home smelling like a frat house carpet wasn't my bag, I enrolled at UNO where I graduated with a degree in secondary social studies education. I taught at Northshore High (where my students enjoyed hearing about how I was nearly kicked out of a Northshore dance for bringing my 45 of "Eye of the Tiger" to one of their first dances) and later McMain Magnet in Uptown, followed by three terrific years teaching at-risk inner-city kids at one of the first New Orleans Charter schools. While I adored my students, an opportunity arose to join the world of corporate training and I've been in this field since 2002. I am now the Senior Training Supervisor for Medco Health Solutions in Irving,TX (outside of Dallas).



On the personal side, Sam and I went our separate ways shortly after I graduated from UNO. I met Eric shortly thereafter. He moved to Lousiana in 1998 from a blink-and-you-miss-it town in Western Massachusetts. We were married in 2000 and now have a beautiful three year old son named Dane. I've attached pictures of Daddy and Dane doing their favorite activity (anything involving computers), of Dane playing on a hillside, and a couple of me (the wedding was my sister's). We moved to Dallas recently and are still unboxing, so these pictures will have to do for now. I'm looking forward to the reunion and to catching up with so many of you!
