Holly's Story
So after high school I took a year off and didn't really do much. Then I went to Antioch College in Yellow Springs Ohio. I married my high school sweetheart and we moved around a lot as part of the Antioch college program. We went to Burlington VT, Atlanta Georgia, and eventually Wenatchee WA. I liked Washington state so much I decided to stay. I have worked in several different clinics, both family practice and OB/Gyn. We grew apart and eventually amicably divorced after 5 years.
I have owned an espresso stand, driven an ambulance, worked in a hospital, and dispatched. Now I dispatch air ambulance helicopters and lear jets. It's full of both joy and tragedy, and certainly helps me keep things in perspective. I try to live in and appreciate every moment because I know how quickly things can change forever.
Along the way I took up studying Tae Kwo...Expand for more
n Do to connect with my Korean heritage and met a great man I'm married to. We have two sons and our family feels complete.
Dancing was a huge part of my life during high school, but unfortunately I suffered a knee injury and was forced to quit. I am still trying to figure out what I want to do with the rest of my life, but until that happens I stay very busy. I take classes at community college when I can, and between our sons' swimming lessons, speech therapy, basketball practice, etc. My calender is pretty full. Next fall our youngest will be in school all day which will give me six hours a day to try and fill. Life is so busy and goes by so quickly and I am just trying to enjoy the ride! :)
I don't miss the midwest weather at all, even though it is cloudy here alot. I do miss deep dish stuffed pizza and italian beef sandwiches though.
