Kelly's Story
Hey everyone!
You probably didn't know I married my Jr. High sweet heart.
I met my wife when I was in the 8th grade at Edgemont Jr. High; she was a senior down at Fife High School.
I moved out at the age of 17 and bought my own place in Bonney Lake. I had enough credits to get out of school early so I only went to school the 1st Semester and came back to graduate with my class in June of 1980.
Patti and I were married in August of 1980 and start our life together in Bonney Lake.
It wasn't long before we started our family, it was always planned to have our kids young so we would be young ourselves when the grandkids came along. We were blessed with our 1st son Anthony who is now 32 yrs old and Nicholas who is 29, and then our beautiful daughter Jessica who is 23.
We were very fortunate to move back down to the Edgewood area, where we could raise our kids in the same neighborhood we grew up in. Yes all three of our kids went to Hilltop Elementary, Edgemont Jr high and of course Puyallup High School.
Jessica is currently a senior at Puyallup high, where she stays very involved with the school. Jessica has been on the Puyallup high school dance team for 3 years now and recently was selected to be captain of the dance squad.
Just recently Jessica was also selected to be apart of the Daffodil selection process where she is running for the princess position for Puyallup high and hopes to compete for the queens title in October.
Well I talked earlier about Grand kids I currently hav...Expand for more
e 6 grandsons that keep Patti and I very busy.
A little bit of news you probably didn't know about us as well, is that we open our own business about 22 yrs ago, after searching for adequate day care in the Edgewood area and not being able to find any, my wife and I decide to open our own business known as Patti Cake Day Care and provide a safe haven for many. We have been very fortunate to have met wonderful new friends over the years as well as run into some old classmates.
We have had several clients that I went to school with attend our day care, Lori Mackie, (Murrey), Phil Kanile, Darren Clevenger, Lonnie Flemming, Debbie Crawford, as well as Kathy Boyle and many more. We have been truly blessed by all the new and old friends that we have met.
After our business was up and running smoothly, I took on a job in Puyallup at Blue Sky Landscape Services Inc. and am currently still working for them. The job is great it allows me to have a very flexible schedule so I may attend the many events that come up when your raising kids and grandchildren.
I hope this gives everyone a little peak into my life .
PS.
I lost contact with my best friend from Jr. High Robert Johnson, last I heard he moved to California. I lost contact the week of our wedding so it has been 28 yrs now. I am still hoping to reconnect and locate him any help would be appreciated. He had an older brother named Ron, they all move to S. hill our ninth grade year and they attended Rogers for a bit
