Jessica's Story
Life
Two kids, Julia will be 8 and William will be 5
Married, almost 7 years.
Bulit a new home last fall.
Live in Chippewa Falls, WI
Lived in Wichita, KS for almost 4 years.
My husband was United States Air Force, and we were stationed at McConnell AFB in KS.
I also have a new puppy, Gizzy he is a Shih Tzu.
School
My biggest crush was Justin Dyer, I thought he was the cutest boy I had ever seen. He was my first kiss, and it really grossed me out when he put his tongue in my mouth. Note to anyone interested, don't do that on your first kiss. For most of my crush, Justin only knew I was alive to shoot rocks at my butt with sling shot, otherwise he was completely in love with Kathy English, who I of course wanted to be.
We had two english teachers at AUGS who inspired me. They both worked at Teen can Teen, which was the best Friday night around and every school should have that!

I had it to do over again, I would have tried harder and made different choices. Life was difficult then, and I always wondered what my life would be like had we not moved away.
Workplace
I work as an LPN/CMA in Urgent Care and Pediatrics. I am also a trained a phlebotomist and plan to go back to school for Physician's Assistant some day.
In my younger days, I did some modeling for Ford Modeling Agency. We happened to move an hour and half from the twin cities, which wasn't a bad drive to photo shoots. That is something I wish I would have continued when I moved to Wichita, KS. Instead I started classes for culinary/pastry and cake decorating. Before I went to school for nursing I was a pasrty/soux chef. I still decorate wedding and specialty cakes on the side out of my home, as well as cheesecakes. Cooking and baking are a passion I have, along with enjoying an excellent glass of wine!
