Julie's Story
Life
I moved from Vernon just before Senior year, graduated from Whitehouse, TX, came back to Vernon and married Charles Burk. We've lived in several TX towns. Currently in Azle, TX. I am a nurse and have 2 kids, Jennifer age 8 and Michael age 2. Jennifer has 3 kids, Alex-9, Starla-6, and Nathaniel-2. I garden, read, spoil grandkids and go to church. We have 4 dogs and a bunch of yard ornaments (junk cars in the yard, mechanics will understand).
Charles began racing cars this year but I work at night in a Nursing Home so I rarely go. It started because I wanted to go see the races as a date instead of the routine Dinner and Movie. Oops! I created a monster. Life is pretty routine otherwise.
I'm amazed at the fact that 30 years have passed since High School.
My Mom still lives in Vernon and I do come visit usually 2-3 times per year. Her name is Bobby Joe Railsback. If you see her ask her about me.
May God bless you all!
Update 6.1.08: Our daughter Jennifer graduated May 9th from RN school and will be working at John Petersmith Hospital in Ft Worth. They have a couple of LVN to RN programs so she talked me into working there as well>(Browbeat me into it!) I'll start there June 16th on a new unit that will probably be a remotely monitored Telemetry unit with primarily ...Expand for more
Cardiac patients. It will be nights, 3 12-hour shifts per week with potential for all the overtime I want. (After 32 years in the workforce I don't really want overtime) I AM looking forward to working a Telemetry Unit again. I worked one for 9 years at All Saints (Now Baylor All Saints). If you know anyone wishing to start a nursing career, please advise them to go to RN school rather than LVN. It takes a little longer but there's much more potential for advancement and a greater choice of work areas. Charles is driving a truck now and doesn't have as much time to race but he still enjoys racing when he can. I hope to see y'all soon at the Reunion.
Update 02/5/17
I've been working at John Peter Smith now almost 9 years. It's a great place to work. Our Daughter is married to Rocky Lott. You can see him on You Tube under Rocky Lott Band. He's an IT guy most of the time. Alex, our oldest Grandchild is now 18 years old!!! Don't ask me how that happened. His Sister Starla is 14. We have three wonderful Step-Grands: Sieralyn -14, Cade - 13 and Skyler -12. We are raising our Son Michael's Daughter, Sarah, who is 16 months old. Charles is retired. He doesn't race anymore but he builds cars and goes to the races as often as he can. That's about it May God bless you and yours!
