Barbara's Story

Hmmm.... I'm married to Brent, almost 26 years.... we don't know where the time has gone... do you? (With time flying by so fast, we must be having a lot of fun!) We have 3 kids. They really are the light of our lives. (As a parent, I want to go on about the kids, but I will try to restrain myself.) We live in North Carolina, actually bought land from Brent's mom, so we are close to at least one of our families. We live on 20 acres, down a half mile long gravel (and mud at times) driveway, surrounded by woods. It is such a beautiful place. Too far from work, especially with gas prices what they are, but oh well. There are fields where we did have horses, but found we did not ride them enough to justify having them, so now we have wild blackberries! (Time to mow! Or "bushhog" as it is called here. But the blackberries are so good!) Brent was in sales for a music company for over 20 years when they were bought out and then went bankrupt. He has started his own business of installing and maintaining sound systems, mainly in churches.... and there are a lot of churches here in the "Bible belt". But starting a business from scratch doesn't happen overnight.. so we are trying to be patient and keep on working and hoping it will fly. I do ultrasounds for an ob/gyn office. Quite a happy job, telling people about their babies! Speaking of babies..... I wouldn't be telling my whole story if I didn't go on a little bit about my own..... Adam, 22, history major, very handsome, smart (but also "smart-ass"), hard-working, good sense of humor (to go along with the smart-assiness), good hearted guy. Wants to teach and research history. ...Expand for more
Grace, 21, education major,as beautiful on the inside as out, she is what I want to be when I grow up. She's good to the bone..... she was homecoming and prom queen but didn't quite get why... she's her own goofy, lovely self. Her students will fall in love with her. Sarah, 19, the typical baby of the family! She was also homecoming and prom queen, but get's why:). (If she could get paid for being social, she'd be a very rich girl!)(Just in case you misunderstand, I don't mean being "social" with the guys.) She's a great friend to all (including to her mom). She'd like to be an actress, but likes to eat and have a roof over her head. (Although I think she's fantastic and think everyone should pay big bucks to see her act, sing and dance!) She is hoping she'll discover an all consuming career interest before she finishes her first 2 yrs. of college so she'll know what to do in the next 2 yrs. of college. Was that enough info? The kids are all out on their own now...it's just me, Brent, the dog, our cat and 2 cats we aquired after Sarah got the kittens we told her not to get. :) We have the same family, marraige, financial and other worries as everyone else, but I think we are very fortunate people. Brent's stuck with me whether he likes it or not.. and I think I'll keep him too! I will always miss WA. State. There really is "no place like home". The kids think they would like to build on our land and have a little farm/commune. Can't leave that! But they could end up in Timbuktu, you never know. We are so looking forward to the reunion, hope I remember names... especially my own. (Sometimes I wonder.) See everyone soon!
