Laura's Story

Great time at our 45th! So nice seeing everyone! (2016) Keep myself busy doing webdesign, taking care of a few dogs, working full time in Accounting and just completed my nutrition degree from Cornell! I have two children--both boys. Jesse is 38 and has one child, Adam--my only grandchild so far. He is a used car buyer for KDK in Brunswick and doing very well! The other, Steven, is 23, graduated from Buckeye in 2012, and now has a job at the same company his dad works at. He has settled nicely into this job, enjoys it, and is turning it into a career. He has a dirt bike that he races. Complete opposites in personality--Jesse extremely social and outgoing, Steven very quiet and somewhat a loner--but still has a silly side. Both very responsible and have not caused me a bit of trouble. Still good friends with my high school buddies, Diane and Neomia. I have been truly blessed with the best family and friends one could ever want. I completed my first book! Was published in July, 2011. It was written for an Animal Planet breed series. 2011 was a very sad year as my mom passed away from ovarian cancer. She was a good mother and a good friend to me. I miss her very much. Finally sold my huge home in Valley City and moved to a much more manageable ranch in my old hometown of Strongsville. I am only 500 feet from the parkway and a block from several horse farms. Pure heaven! The house needed a lot of updating and has now been totally remodeled, inside and out. I posted several pictures of it.. It turned out beautiful! I still feel like I am 18 and am not at all ready to retire! I have watched so many retire and give up learning and growing. To me if you stop learning and growing, you stop living! That is not the life for me. I like people and like k...Expand for more
nowing I have something truly important to contribute and do each day. Yes, I will retire at some point, but I will either work part-time or volunteer several days a week. Helping others puts a big smile on my face and happiness in my heart--it is something I will never stop doing. I joined an area nutrition group in early 2016 and have been volunteering with them regularly. A great group of people who are always there to help people improve their health. Our group does 7-day rescue programs that will help turn your life and health around completely. We will soon be going into companies and offering the rescue program to employees. I hope my degree in nutrition will lead to a rewarding 'second career' once I actually retire from full-time work. (2021) Life is wonderful! I moved a few years ago--to a lovely, small ranch in Berea--again right on the park. Met someone new about 15 months ago--a widower who had been very happily married for over 39 years. Things are going great! Starting to travel together now that COVID is slowing a bit. We are now both retired as we were both forced to retire due to COVID.. Truly one of the best men I have ever known; could even call him a unicorn man. Can easily see why he was so happily married for so many years. I could not be happier. Been running and competing in 5Ks (last in November 2020), cycling, kayaking (such fun!), hiking and doing so many things. This year it looks as though we can return to concerts--really missed them in 2020. Retirement has been better than expected. My older son is remarried to a truly wonderful woman. My younger son purchased his first house and moved in this year. I am now an empty nester. Both my children are truly successful in life. Looking forward to our 50th class reunion in a few months!
