Connie's Story
Life
After graduating from the University of Texas at Austin in 1996, I moved to Jacksonville, Florida to be closer to family.
I have no kids (other than my Jack Russell Terrier, Ramsey) although I am more than anxious to be a mom! I have a home in a booming area in North Florida. Since it is only 10 minutes to Fernandina Beach/Amelia Island, it reminds me of Coronado. On my days off you will usually find me at the beach or out shopping for items for my home. I have had so much fun buying furniture and decorating my own place. I also test my creativity designing purses.
Career wise I LOVE what I am doing, although my job can be rather stressful. It took me many years to find my niche but better late than never, right? I work for a local builder selling new homes and townhomes. It is satisfying to help my clients design a home to meet their needs and then watch it "grow". I think I have truly found my calling. I enjoy helping people make their "American Dream" come true. In the future I plan to purchase homes and manage them as rentals.
Health wise I have fully recovered from a ruptured disk ...Expand for more
which had me under the knife 2 and a 1/2 years ago. After being in pain for a full year before agreeing to have the surgery, I would suggest the surgery to anyone experiencing the same excruciating pain!!! I am finally back to things I enjoy like traveling, exercising and playing sports.
I try to travel once a month and have been to some great places near and wide. My favorite trips include an annual birthday celebration for my friend Jan, who lives in Tampa. Every Spring we celebrate at the beach in Siesta Key, FL, and it has become our "Jannual trip". It is a great way to recharge the battery and rekindle old friendships. Most recently, I went to Denver to visit my boyfriend who was training for a new job. Have never been to CO and it was gorgeous...cold but gorgeous. Although we did not go skiing, we did enjoy a few hours of snowmobiling!!
I am a believer in God and His Salvation--He has brought so much peace to my life--God Bless!
I have been blessed with many wonderful friendships that have grown over the years--some in part from this website.
Would love to hear from you all! -Connie
