Carla's Story

Life Would love to hear from friends from Fairview Elementary, Keith Junior High School, Altoona Area High School or Altoona School of Commerce. I currently live in Altoona with my husband and three children, all girls. Our oldest is Jenna, soon to be 10 (as she keeps reminding me!), Madison 5, and Cassie 3. We also are currently sharing our home with my mother, age 78, who has been diagnosed with dementia and no longer could safely live on her own. We also have our beloved yellow lab, Jake, who is now 11 years old, my mother's dog - a mixed breed named Samantha, and several small animals that supposedly belong to the kids, but I am the primary caretaker (no surprise there). My husband is a welder/construction foreman and I am a medical transcriptionist for a company by the name of Diskriter, based out of Pittsburgh, PA. I am very fortunate in that my work allows me to work from home, which gives me the flexibility to be here for my children. We spend our "free time" involved in our children's activities and working on our house. In the summer we...Expand for more
enjoy picnics, trips to various amusement parks, swimming, fishing and hiking. My husband and I also try to squeeze in some time going on ATV rides with our friends and especially enjoy the fall when we spend many late evenings enjoying our deck and our outdoor fireplace. I did not attend my 20th high school reunion as I was due to give birth any day and didn't think my husband's slippers (which were about the only thing I could get my swollen feet into) would be acceptable attire! I do hope to attend the next reunion and look forward to reconnecting with old friends, either through Classmates or the reunion. Sadly, we are at the age now where we have already lost many classmates, so I think maintaining and re-establishing old friendships is more important now than ever. Hard to believe that we, the class of 82, are now into our 40's. I can so vividly remember graduating and thinking that those who were celebrating their ten-year reunion at the time were "old". Funny how your perspective changes!! Looking forward to hearing from "old" friends!
