Jennifer Stanley:  

It's been a long and eventfully 18 (YIKES!) years since high school. It seems so odd to think that it was that long ago. My name is Jennifer Stanley now. I married the love of my life five years ago. He is the best person I have ever met and being his wife is one of the things I am most proud of in my life. I am also very proud of our daughters Caitlin and Elizabeth. Caitlin was born in 2005.

His job (military) is not mobile and is no where near Atlanta (where my career was). I was very fortunate that my boss really loved my work, because he made it possible for me to telecommute and work part time out of my home office.

Consequently, I took a break from work during my senior year. Then in July 2008 went back to work part time working with autistic and BED (behaviorally and emotionally disabled) kids.
