What is new in your life right now and/or since our last reunion?

In a couple of months I will be an empty nester. I've been a single Mom for many years. It's been both challenging and rewarding. Of course, that is parenthood, in general, and certainly not unique in that I'm a single Mom. I am feeling pretty emotional about it, yet am looking forward to some time for myself. I'm starting my bucket list almost as soon as they are settled in at college. I will be taking a vacation with my dear, lifelong friend in September. We have talked about traveling together for years and now I finally can! He was my date to our Jr. Prom. Lol.

Favorite memory of PHS:

Simple: just getting to go to a small high school. Knowing all the same people from Kindergarten, all the way through. Living in the city now, I really have an appreciation for that. Senior Skip Day and parties at the drive-through gravel pits. (I would die if my children did that!).

No updates required. These are still my favorite memories! And, things I'm still thankful for.

What did you always want to do that you haven't done yet?

Finish my degree. I am a nurse and love my job, but never finished my BSN. Travel everywhere!

Update: I will soon be finishing my degree. My employer now pays for it, in full, and my kids will be in college, so I have run out of excuses. Back to the books.

What would we be surprised to know about you?

I have been engaged twice since my divorce many years ago. But, the good Lord just keeps me waiting on his plan for me. Haha

How old do you feel?

Fourty-something, on good days. Usually, a little older

How do you see yourself in 10 years?

Married, working as a nurse, kids raised, traveling, and looking forward to grandchildren. Still thinking about going back to college. Blessed with God's gifts.

Do you still have family in Piggott area?

My parents live in Piggott. They have now been married 65 years! My big sis, Patsy, and her husband, Ken live in Greenway. (in the old Don and Georgia's western store).

How often do you get back to Piggott?

Not often enough.

Would you ever move back to the area?

Yes.

What did you do right after high school?

College

I've hated my hair for at least 3 years, now. Keep trying to figure out a new style. Think I'll go back to this. It really worked for me!!

This was a big day for me. Looking back, the biggest thing about it was in the mistake I made wearing this ensemble!! HeeHee (BTW, Carol Ann, I saved and downloaded these pics all by myself. It took me 3 days - my kids were with their Dad).

This is our new dog, Gabby. She's a 16-month-old Golden Retreiver who we adopted from a rescue.
