Kelli's Story
Life
I am in Windsor, CA and I have two children, Donny -age 10 and Jessica -age 8. I have been married to a wonderful man, Matt Riveras for 12 years. I have been in Sonoma County since graduation and am surprised how many of you I haven't bumped into. I am also surprised on my memory as there are a couple names that don't ring a bell... My bell may be a tad rusty now that I am pushing 40!!! So, don't get your feelings hurt if I have a brain cramp...I don't even recognize myself in the mirror these days! I am a commercial property manager and am very involved in my children. I find my sanity in the garden, my joy in my animals and cooking, my love in my family and friends, my encouragement in my writing, and my clarity in my lessons that life brought to me... There is always one funny thing...people have no idea where I came from and hardly anyone guesses that I used to burn tires, play capture the flag in the dark at highland springs, raise sheep and buck hay, walk up Kelsey Creek barefooted, skinny dip at the soda baths, Catch Mary Pat Adams at the Brick at lunch, etc!
We all have funny stories and they all make up who we are or who we used to be. We all have a little Kelseyville crazy in us somewhe...Expand for more
re.
As I write this I find how hard it is to write about my life. I know how to talk about my kids and my work mostly...
I love being a mom and know that is what I am supposed to do, first and foremost. I do spend a lot of time up at the lake, cruising around in my boat. My parents still live in Lakeport, and for those who know them, Ol' Buzz has been the Mayor a couple times and Jan has been running Lake Vacation Rentals, a business started by my late brother Charlie and my mom. She recently sold the business and is now retired with my dad.
For those who didn't know, I lost my brother Charlie nearly 5 years ago and have spent everyday since then trying to understand life/death and everything in between. Because I have had to grieve for many over the years, I have learned to appreciate and love everyone close to me. I don't take anything for granted and relish in the little things like, breathing, sunshine, music, time...
I remain positive and bring to my life only good people, good experiences, good food and definitely good wine. ( okay and a silver bullet now and then )
I am looking forward to a class reunion. Pass on the word, if everyone contacted 10 people this will be easy.
