High points in your life since high school:
My life has been more or less average. I took some time off and did various menial jobs after high school before going to Joliet Junior College and getting my AA in graphic design in December of '96. I then spent a year at Mississippi State University before getting homesick and transferring to Northern Illinois University. One year there was enough to make me desperate for a serious change, both educationally and financially, so I left school to work for a hotel full time as a banquet administrator. I met my husband Tony and his then six year old daughter Brittany in DeKalb in 2000 and we married in October 2003. Much to the chagrin of his guy pals, he took my last name when we married, hence the lack of a new last name for me. Two weeks later we moved to Bradenton, FL and two weeks after that we discovered the wedding night had been very productive! My beautiful son Connor was born July 16, 2004. I became a stay at home mom and returned to college, changing majors to elementary education and attending the University of South Florida in Sarasota. Unfortunately, the marriage did not last and we separated in September of 2008. My son and I moved to Madison, WI for a brief seven months before I finally returned to the home territory. I reunited with my high school sweetheart in 2009 and we moved to Crete in 2011. We married in October of 2014 and I couldn't be happier!
