While in school and after for about 5 years I worked in Chicago for Citicorp Bank. Mark and I got married in 1988. I worked for the Holiday Inn General Manager for 2 years, and after Amanda was born in 1990 I became a stay at home mom. In 1993 Alexis was born. We have lived in Steger, IL., Crete, IL., and now Lowell for 7 years. I just went back to work 5 years ago as a Teacher's Assistant at our grade school. I work with 2nd grade children. Mark and I will be married 20 years in September.
