States you've lived in & interesting countries/places you've visited?

Lived in Arizona during college with my HS boyfriend and now husband.

I've been very lucky to see the world by visiting India, China, Dubai, Germany, France, England, Finland, Spain, Ireland, among others.

High points in your life since high school:

Marrying my high school sweetheart, traveling the world, every moment we spend with our three beautiful boys, spending time with my sister (Cindy Hall Kirchner, 1990 alumn) and her family, staying close with high school friends like Becky Redmond (White), Carey Quinn (Yarolimek) and Kelly Russell (Rogers)

What do you like to do in your spare time?

Jog, Yoga, Read books, Go Camping, Go to Movies, Listen to Music, Travel, All kinds of fun outdoors, mostly spend time with my family and friends.

Famous or interesting people you've met:

Once flew First Class to Paris across from Christina Aguilera, she seemed like a nymph, really tiny but also very nice.

What would your classmates be surprised to know about you?

We're adoptive parents, as well as biological parents.

Funniest thing you did in high school or favorite memory at LWHS:

I have quite a few good memories, many of them surrounded getting into trouble. Once got in trouble for cutting off the school bus that I believe teacher Mr. Fleck was driving. Threw my sister's shoes on the school roof of LW East during a Saturday detention. Tried to pull a "Ferris Bueller" with Sister, Tina Bultink and possibly others. Not very proud that we tried to sell prescription order pads from Hedges Clinic to students to get out of school, although an enterprising idea.

Favorite teachers?

Most of my teachers at Lincoln Way were great.

I remember Mr. Yunker, who everyone adored.

Seniorita Thompson and Seniorita Bobber were fantastic, I can still conjugate spanish verbs!

Coach Eddy and those shorts.

Mr Fleck was a great teacher.

Mr Lapicki in Biology was a crack up.

Favorite hangout in high school:

I worked at Nancy's Pizza with Becky Redmond and later on Traversos in Tinley where I made a lot of memories and met my husband.

Any secret crushes you are ready to 'fess up to?

I'm sure there were tons, I remember Chad Roberts, probably because I was attracted to height.

What would you do differently if you went back to high school?

Not a lot, I had a blast and most of my dreams have come true!

If I knew then what I know now...

I'd treat my loved ones a lot better, give back to others, I'd listen more attentively and probably not eat chocolate frosting directly from the can.
