Elizabeth's Story
20 Years Out:
I attended St. Mary's High School freshman and sophomore years. I got pregnant in high school the summer after sophomore year and went on to attend public school junior and senior years. Even though I didn't end up actually graduating from St. Mary's, many of my most memorable friendships were established with these classmates. I had some great friends at East as well, but by the time I made it back to regular high school (went to the 'pregnant girl school' junior year), I was mother to my baby daughter, working full time and going to school full time... so socializing was minimal at best.

arned my B.A. in Criminal Justice and Criminology, graduating in 2002. I began working as a Paralegal part time that summer for experience and completed my certification in 2005. I currently work as a Paralegal in the Student Discipline Office of the Kansas City, Missouri School District.
I met my now-husband at work in 1997; we became the best of friends and started dating in 1999. We were both very anti-marriage after having both been through divorce, so we "dated" for the next seven years. We finally decided to tie the knot in Vegas April 29, 2006. Many of our family members and friends made the trip out to watch us get married by a hilarious Elvis impersonator. It was the funniest wedding EVER!!!
My family is my world! My daughters are Ashley (21), Alyssa (18), and Gabrielle (11). As if that isn't awesome enough, in July 2007, my eldest daughter blessed me with the birth of my wonderful grandson, Mason, who is every bit his Granny's boy!
