Comments:

Well I don't even know where to start.....

*Married in 1991 to Daryl Orgill, then divorced in 1996.

*1997 to 2000-lived in Pasadena CA attended American Academy of Dramatic Arts. Lived the LA life and had fun while that lasted.

*2000 through 2005,--Moved back to Utah and floated around, trying to figure myself out. Worked for Sundance Institute for the Summer Labs and also worked 2001, 2002, 2003, 2006 Film Festivals and had a great time. Also waited tables at Squatters for years and attended the U of U, also while House managing for SL County center for the Arts. Had a great time doing all this for that time. I also travelled to Australia in 2002 and 2004 spending 2 months each visit with then boyfriend and his family.

*2005 through 2008, Started a job with Starbucks Co. and loved it. I was working on a career path and had started the management training, but I left because I had a baby during that time with then bf, whom I met at my job, no he didn't work there, a customer....hence that is why our son is named Makiato after the Carmel Macchiato drink, which was our favorite beverage.

*2007, Had my son Makiato Joaquin Carrillo. Wow!! Can I just say how much this can change a person. Geez I love this kid!!!!

*I finished school for Surgical Technology in Dec. 2009. I enjoyed my studies and was excited to get to work. I didn't start working as a surg tech right out of school, but started work as a vender(so to speak) for reprocessed single used surgical supplies and equipment. I really enjoyed my first job out of school, the company was Sterilmed, they were a green company for the medical device industry. Eventually they were bought out by J&J and with changes in those types of takeover and the redistricting that happens, the work I was doing became no more and about 300 of us were laid off :( I worked for Sterilmed from 2010 to 2016.

*In 2011 I got married to Paul Carlson, he is originally from Minneapolis MN.

*In 2016, I was hired at Intermountain Medical Center in the Cardiac Cath Lab. I still work in the CV Lab now.

*2019.....We now have 4 cat....Pavel, Boris, Tigress and Murphy. We also have a revolving door as I do rescue work and foster cats and kittens until they find their permanent "fur-ever" family. I do this as volunteer work with CAWS-Community Animal Welfare Society. I also care for 2 Feral/Community Cat Colonies in Murray near my work. I do this with 2 other ladies. We have managed to TNR (trap-neuter-return) and vaccinate the 26 cats between the two colonies and we feed and maintain how many cats we have along with care for, set up winter shelters for them and shady places to keep the feeding stations in summer. We keep track of the kitties and know who is who and how often we see each. We have not had new kittens for 2 summers.....this is awesome and what we strive for in feral communities :) It is hard sometimes emotionally and physically, but it brings me joy and satisfaction with my part in helping these animals. Remember......ADOPT- DON'T SHOP!!! and TNR WORKS!!!

Currently(2019) Life is going on and speeds up every year. looking forward to years ahead with my husband Paul and seeing who my son grows up to be. Then retirement and travel :)

School Story:

I have many fun memories from high school, Tree's and football fields are still fun. Along with all the other silly things we do as teenagers. Dry ice and mailboxes even....did I say that.

Actually I am so glad those days are over, the real world is so much better, even though there are great difficulties, the gain is so worth it. I admit, if I could go back and do High School over with what I know now, I would definitely change my priorities and I would have more empathy and love for those around me.
