GLORIA ORTEGA Flores

OMG. It's going on 20 years already? It doesn't seem like that long ago, but I guess I just don't want to face reality. Well, I was married for 11 years, then I called it quits! No, not a bad thing. I am enjoying my independance once again. I still live here in Las Cruces. I work at the New Mexico Department of Agriculture at NMSU. Some of you have seen me working at Wal Mart, I work there part time. I also went back to school to pursue a degree in International Business.

I can't wait to see all of you, specially those who I haven't seen since we graduated. It's nice to see your profiles with your spouses and families. I must admit I can't believe that some of you are still married! I can't believe that some of you party animals became successful! LOL I guess I will catch up with all of you later. I am interested in finding out more on the ones who have gotten Botox,Implants, other crazy procedures, etc. You all know who you are. I am just afraid that I won't be able to recognize you all at the reunion. LOL

One story that we still remember, is when I was an office aide and I would take Jesusita out of plant biology class to go skipping. We would embarass Mr. Gurule by calling him Mr. Good Lay. LOL He was such a cutie. He would just let her go without any questions. He was such a nice teacher. LOL Another one was the parties during the day at 1000 poles, having to make it back in time to catch the bus. Usually, our parents would take the cars away, so we had to ride the bus because we lived up Hwy 70. Last but not least was when I was able to go to Senior Skip Day, but Jesusita and the others couldn't go because of their unexcused absences. LOL Mine were ALWAYS excused.

Have to dig up some pics so more stories can be told.....Most likely stories from Senior Trip in Mazatlan!!!! LOL
