One of Kristi's favorite quotes is:"Life begins at the end of your comfort zone...". More about Kristi:"I was born and raised in Seattle, Washington. I am the middle child and first born girl of five children. Since I can remember, I have loved social events and all of the planning that goes along with it. Holidays are especially dear to my heart and are the center of many wonderful memories for me. Adjectives that would describe me are enthusiastic, hard working, cheerful, loyal and fun. I believe in a greater power than ourselves and that we are an instrument of god. I also believe we all have a duty of service to others. By giving of yourself and your time to others, there is real joy. Life is filled with choices and with them comes consequences. I will never forget my mother once saying to me,"Be careful what you want, you just might get it," As I look back over the years, I feel I have made a difference. As a high school student, I was very involved in theater. I spent my summers in Summer Stock putting on three productions in 6 weeks. As a high school senior, I played Kate in Taming of the Shrew. I was involved in Pep Club, Debate, Theater Arts, and Student Council. At 17, I left for college nine hours away from my family and friends. My years at Washington State University in Pullman were a blast. I made new friends, joined the Delta Gamma sorority and met the guy I have now been married to for 31 years. How time flies! He was an Ag major from Yakima, Washington. I was his li...Expand for more
ttle sister in his fraternity house. I was supposed to set him up with dates, bake him cookies, show him around campus. Well, it went a little further than that. He took a job with Dupont. We were married May 26, 1979. We lived the first 5 years in Yuma, Arizona. I worked for McDonnell Douglas at their Flight Test Center. We made some great friends that we still see often. Then we were transferred to Fresno, Ca. We thought we would just be here a few years. It has now been 27 years in Fresno. Brian was born in 1984 and Suzanne in 1987. This has been a great place to raise kids. Having children is a life changing experience. I was fortunate enough to be able to stay home with them when they were small. I taught at their Montessori preschool. Suzanne was diagnosed with leukemia at age 7. It was a rough couple of years. We were very lucky. She just graduated from Fresno State in Communications. Brian received his MBA from Pepperdine and is off to Cornell on scholarship for a one year masters in HR. Jackie Kennedy once said, " If your children don't turn out alright, nothing else you do really matters" I won't feel like we have come full circle until they are employed and married. ( a grand baby would be nice, too] John and I are very proud of the choices they have made. I now teach an 80% contract at a middle school which gives me the flexibility to travel with John when I have opportunity. I enjoy my students, organizing rallies and dances and helping them help their community through service projects. I play Bunko once a month with a fun group of ladies, some I have known for 25 years. I am looking forward having a new daughter-in-law. Brian and Sheila announced their engagement on Christmas eve. After Brian graduates this May they will spend some time with us in Fresno before their move to Texas. He will be working for HP. Dallas should be an exciting place for a young couple and a new place for us to visit. Life is good!".
