Christine Lundgren:  

Life After high school I attended Davenport College in Merrillville IN. I graduated in December 1990 with a certificate in Travel & Tourism. That Christmas I traveled to New Mexico to spend the holidays with Cory and his family but shortly after returning home the reality of a long distance relationship took it's toll on us and we broke up shortly after. The rest of 1991 found me doing occasional nanny work for family friends for their 3 kids. (something I had the pleasure of doing for the next 10 yrs - watching the baby grow into a wonderful kid - she is now a beautiful 18 year old young lady who will be attending Northwestern this fall) As well as building a new group of friends outside of high school. In 1992 my dad passed away and due to our strained relationship in the last couple years of his life (which only got worse in his last days) I legally had my name changed back to my mother's maiden name - Lundgren. In March of 1993 as soon as my name change became legal I packed what I could fit into my car and my mom helped me drive out to California where I tried my hand at being a live-in nanny for a few weathly families out there. I initially stayed with my mom's best friend from high school and her family until I found my first position. That part ended up being the most fun and postive part of the experience. I quickly learned that my experience with the Rieser family was something I would never find anywhere else so I headed back home after 6mos and started working for them again as needed ASAP! lol (I also came back just in time to miss the Northridge earthquake by only a couple mos. where the epicenter had been only a couple miles from my first job out there) In the spring of 1994 I went back to school attending Columbia College in Chicago as a Musical Theater major. Commuting from CP to Chicago. I absolutely LOVED it. I found going to school at 23 a lot more fun than it was right out of high school plus I was doing what I always wanted to do -...Expand for more
