Are you married or have a partner? How long have you been together?

I have been married for almost 4 years. Have known my husband for 6 years. We still live in da creek. Funny was living in Winter Park for about a year when we first met. Then ended up buying a home in the next neighborhood that I grew up in Hunters Creek.
Although this week I am moving to our condo downtown Orlando at The Waverly on Lake Eola. We needed a change, and this a BIG one to the city.

Do you have any children? If so, how many and what are their names?

Not yet, really want to start a family soon, just have 3 dogs..1 Boston Terrier: Juliet Capulet I & and 2 English Bulldogs (Butch & Quintessa) those are my babies for now! And believe me they keep me on my feet just like a child would. But I love my babies!

Where have you lived since high school?

Unfortunately just Central Florida Area.

What was your most favorite memory of high school?

Hmmmm, Well I remember lunch and always sitting with the same crew. Chick-Fil-A chicken sandwich, a Fanta Orange soda. It was the same everyday. My Best friend passed away, but I hope to see the others that were always there.
Also sneaking out with my friend Melissa, Kristy, and Sherry (RIP), besides me & Sherry they were a part of the work internship program. And me & Sherry were not. So we always had to hide in the trunk until we got to the 7-11 then got out and skipped for the day. Much more memories.....too much on here.

What was the most significant thing that happened to you after high school?

I have had three best friends whom passed away. In which one was my best friend in high school. RIP Sherry Hakam. Other than that so much has happened its too much to write. Pretty much I got married and bought a home right next to my parents (a little too close). So I left the creek when I was 18yrs, came back to the Creek when I was 23yrs. Now I am moving to the city, Downtown Orlando.

Is there anything you've learned, and want to share with your classmates?

Yes there are a few quotes or sayings I've learned:
~Life is not easy, was not meant to be, have to take it one step at a time.
~Never trust a liar, they will always let you down!
~No one is worth your tears, and the one whom is won't give you tears or will be there to wipe them away...
~A friend will never betray, lie, disrespect, use, or defy you, and if they do then they are not a TRUE friend...

Who do you most look forward to seeing at the reunion?

Unfortunately she passed away...Sherry Hakam, and others whom I haven't seen in years.
But there are many others that I am excited to see, even though I wasn't in sports, at the "popular table", I was known due to my height, style, and personality.

Is there anything else about yourself that you want to share with your classmates?

NOPE I haven't grown an inch ;) I am still the lil one, people call me ~lil cupcakes~
