School Story:

Making friendships that were paused during early adulthood as we raised our children, built our marriages, some more than one. Then reconnecting after 30 plus years and picking up where we left off.

What did you want to do or think you were going to do when you finished high school?

I took a job at a bank right out of HS and said "I'll do this until I dece what I want to do". 39 years in the industry provided a great career with fabulous opportunities and professional and personal developement.

What and where was your 1st job? Do you remember how much you were paid?

Northline State Bank $400 per month. This was my first full time jobs. Had a couple of holiday jobs and/or Saturday jobs but have no idea what I made.

Favorite Quote

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take your breath away. Not sure who originated this buttttt i know George Strait had some sort of version in one of his songs.

"Life ain't always beautiful but it's a beautiful ride" Gary Allan song.

Famous or interesting people you've met?

George Strait - team roping 1987 had quick and funny conversation with The King of Country
Gary Allan - meet and greet 3 times twice on his bus.
Jim Balushi - conference - danced in stage with other ladies when performed

The B's from the Brazos Valley!

Ever been on TV? Tell us all about it.

Yes. Operation repo. While on vacation in LA we stayed at a B&B in Venice,Ca. The house was used in a filming for an episode. W were extras. Yes it was all started.

What do you like to do in your spare time?

I love road trips and every opportunity get plans rolling. I also love spending time in Bolvar. Spending time with family and friends is always a blessing.

Name something you dearly love. and why?

My husband and my children and all my extended family and friends . Why? Because it is a blessing to be surrounded by so much love. i know so many have none.

And most importantly my faith. For without my faith I would not be grounded nor find peace during tough moments, situations or whatever crosses my path.

And my parents who are now with God who gave me my roots my foundation for life.

All the little things we take for granted

Any words of wisdom?

Don't be negative. If don't have anything nice to say...don't say it.

Be open and honest, if you have something to say say to the person, not about them or behind their backs.

Maintain a proud work ethic. Every job should be completed with your signature.

Is there a moment in your life that stands out? A moment that defines who you are? Other than kids being born or your wedding day.

Not one day, but 61 years of many days
