20 Great Years!




Well, let's see, it has been so long since I have seen or heard from anyone. I hope everyone has had a great 20 yrs. I have been married to a wonderful man for 15 years (almost sixteen) Between us, we have 4 beautiful daughters, ages Erica 26, Emily 21, Barbii 15, Maddi 12. I have 2 grandsons Dakota 6, and Damon 3. I did not become rich, but I am very happy. Just blessed to be here. I have attached some pictures of my family. I don't have any recent pictures of our oldest two.
Hope to see you all soon!

YOURS MINE & OURS




The Last 20 Years.......

The last 20 years have flown by to say the least. I'm sure we can all relate to that!!! After graduation my family and I moved to Kingwood, Texas (North of Houston). Where I attended Kingwood College and NEC. I got my certification in Medical Office Assistant and worked as a MA for about 7 years or so, then I branched out into Administrative Assistant work at a local hospital where I worked for 10 years before being layed off in Nov.2006. I met and married my loving husband, Will, of 17 years in 1989 and moved to Splendora, Texas where we have lived every since. (Splendora is a small town North of Houston.) My husband is a pipe fitter/welder with Brown & Root and at the moment I am a stay at home mom and Splendora City Council Member. Between the two of us we have a his, mine and ours family with 3 wonderful sons. Stephen (mine) is 22 years old and lives in Beaumont, Texas where he is in the Lamar University Fire Academy, Will Jr. (his) is 20 years old and is serving in the Army as a Combat Medic and will be stationed in Italy soon, our youngest son Derek (ours) is 13 years old and stays busy with school and athletics (with big dreams of attending Texas Tech and playing pro football). Needless to say we are VERY PROUD of our boys and all they have accomplished.




I am really looking forward to attending the 87 reunion and seeing everyone I also want to let you know what a great job you are doing on the reunion blog and that I appreciate all your hard work!!

Can't wait to see everyone,

Sorry for the delay

Hello all - sorry it has been a while since posting anything, but Heidi has had a devastating death in her family and has been out of commission. The news took me off guard as well, and I have been focusing on her and her family in this difficult time. Please bear with me as I find your emails and updates and get them posted to the blog. I know there are several of you who have sent us updates and I am working on getting them out. Heidi and I work as a team on the blog, and when one of us is out of commission, it seems that both of us are.

Information about the upcoming reunion will be published within the next few weeks. Invitations will be going out in mid March, so if you are reading this blog and do not receive an invitation by the first of April, then that means we do not have your updated contact information, so plese send it in. We are still missing over 200 classmates and will be posting another "missing list" in the meantime. We want to make sure all of our classmates are invited back to the 20 year reunion. It is going to be a lot of fun catching up on all of our old friends.

Thanks for your understanding about the blog. Brandi Burton Jones' update will be posted next.
