I have done a lot of different things since high school. I have been married technically three times, yes I said three. Two marriages were to the same person, yes we married and divorced twice…and even considering the last divorce too. Love what can you say. Anyway, I have done several different things and been to many different places since we were in school. I joined the Air Force and spent over a couple years in got out for personal reasons. I loved it though. After getting out of the Air Force I worked for MCAS in Hawaii as an Audit Technician, doing accounting fun stuff. I lived in Hawaii for a little over 2 years and it was nice, but expensive.

Upon coming back to the mainland I transferred to the MCAS on Camp Lejeune doing the same job I was in Hawaii only for a lot lower pay..so to supplement, I waitressed at an adult entertainment bar. I have to tell you, those were the best times of my life, mid 20’s with nothing but having a great time. Yes, I was single. I was doing that for a while then met someone and got engaged and moved to New York, well that lasted all of 6 months (post move we were together for 2 years). I moved to be closer to my family in Grand Rapids, MI where I decided I needed a real job..so I went to nursing school and have worked in the medical field for the last 16 years. I have worked for just about every specialty and I have to say Pediatrics is my favorite with OB/GYN coming in second. I graduated in 2006 with my Bachelor’s of Science in Business Management, with an emphasis in Healthcare Management.

I have managed several million dollar medical practices and loved my job unfortunately when moving back to Jacksonville has that part of my life a little suspended due to circumstance however, I decided that I needed a trade so I went back to Coastal Carolina Community College and got my Nail Technician certificate and now I am a Nail Technician. Now I just graduated in Dec 2012 so I am still building my business and clientele but know that it will be sucessful. I have decided to forge my own path in the business world and be my own boss and it is great.

I feel like the riches person in the world. I have great children, a happy life and that in itself is priceless. I am grateful to all my classmates and our continued friendships over all of these years it is nice to know that we were really all that close. The 20th Reunion was a blast and I know that the 25th will be even better. I look forward to seeing you ALL there this time.

Love to you all

What can I say high school was an absolute blast for me!! I loved it. I didn’t love doing homework or going to class but the experiences with all of you my classmates, I would never change. I have had the pleasure of knowing the majority of you since we were as young as 6 yrs (Brewster Elem/Morton Elem) and others from when I was 11 yrs (Tabernacle) and others I got to know during my senior year. Regardless of how long ago, where or how long I have known you, you are all my friends.

I think I got to know almost everyone and I hope that if we had issues back then they can be resolved now with an I am sorry I was a stupid teenager back then, now I am an adult and more mature. LOL I was at White Oak for my Freshman year and Senior Year, I was isolated on the island of Okinawa during my Sophomore and Junior year…I missed you guys so much. Luckily though I managed to come back and graduate as a Viking and I am so glad that I did. Senior Year was the best, I made more new friends and partied like a rock star with many of you.

I did not ever think that I was attached to one clique or group of people because I felt like I was friends with everyone. I didn’t discriminate I love people. Still don’t, until that is you screw me over. I am still good friends with many of our alumni today and thanks to the internet and social networking it allows us to maintain contact. I am so looking forward to seeing everyone together again because we do have some fun when we are together no matter what. Class Of 89 Rocks!!
