I have had a great life since graduation. I married my husband, Jerry in February 1996. We had our first child, Madison in May of 1997. Grayson came along in April of 2000 and then our surprise came last year in May of 2008! I have stayed home with all three children. After Grayson began school, I started tutoring children that struggled with reading up until last year when Colson came along. Colson came into this world quite healthy, but at 3 months old got a disease called Kawasaki Disease. That has consumed my world since last August. If you would like to learn more about Colson and his disease, you can look at his website: www.caringbridge.org/visit/colsonross

Life has been great to me. I love being a mother and wife. It is fun to go through all of the different seasons of life with my children. It is really fun to have them scattered out like this!! Madison is a little mother to Colson. She is in the 7th grade at Rugby Middle School. Grayson is just a typical little boy. He is in the 4rd grade at Marlow Elementary School. Colson keeps us on our toes! Since being diagnosed with Kawasaki Disease, he has 4 coronary aneurysms. The aneurysms can get blood clots really easy, so they keep him on 2 blood thinners. He is now walking......which is quite scary with blood thinners! We just keep a close watch on him...trying not to allow him get hurt.

Needless to say we are busy. But, I love every aspect of my life.

I can't wait to see everyone at our class reunion! We will have a blast!!

You know, honestly...I don't have one particular best memory. I loved being in school. Everyday was fun for me!! I enjoyed being with all of my friends, going to pep rallies, football games, and just all of the fun that we had at school.
