Paralegal by day rockstar by night


I left Louisiana in Dec 1987 and moved to Houston. I attended Art Institute of Houston and graduated with a degree in Commercial Art in January 1990. I worked as a men's clothing designer at a company called Scope Imports from Jan 1990 to Oct of 1993. I left there and did this and that for a while (mostly the things 20 somethings do when they are single) then decided I had better go back to school. I attended University of Houston in pursuit of an Art History degree from Spring 1995 thru Fall 1996. Things weren't going so well for me financially, so I decided to move back to Slidell in Dec 1996. I took a job as an Art Director in a screen print shop in New Orleans for a year and then began work as a Graphic Designer/Jack of All Trades with an independent printer that designed and printed T-shirts almost exclusively for LSU. At any given time you can see some of my designs on campus to this day. While I was working there full time, I went back to school again, this time at UNO. I pursued a degree in Anthropology with a Minor in Biology. Jeff Little and I began dating in August 1998 and moved to New Orleans later that year. We moved back to Slidell in 1999 and married in April of 2000. I graduated from UNO in May 2004. I had big plans to go to LSU for my masters in Forensic Anthro, but in June 2004 I found out I was pregnant! That was the best news ever!



Tyler was born in March 2005. Jeff has a daughter from a previous marriage, Amanda, who is now 12, and we are very close. Amanda lives in Slidell with her mom, Pam, with whom I am good friends. Tyler adores his big sister and can' t wait to see her when she comes to our house on the weekends.

Right now, Jeff has a lucrative job working in the booming construction business and I work full time as a Paralegal at a small law firm in Mandeville. I also sing in a rock band called Minimum Wage. Jeff and I spend our spare time with the kids, friends,and family. Jeff enjoys souping up our tuner car. I also plan on going to Law School at Loyola in the Fall of 2007. Wish me luck! We are blessed with a loving family and good friends. Life is good.

Thanks for setting up the blog. It's nice to hear what everyone's been
up to since High School. I gotta say, it doesn't feel like 20 years has
gone by to me!
Hope this finds all of you well,
Teri Thurston Little
