Linda's Story
Hi Classmates!
I hope this quick note finds you all doing well and happy in your lives. I'm not really sure what to say to all of you, however I'll just let you all know how happy and healthy my family and I are.
After leaving Clay, I received my bachelors degree from IU in accounting. I only used my degree for about 10 year(just enough time to pay off all those student loans). I loved working as an accountant. The last job I had was as an international accountant for a geophysical company in Houston Texas.
My husband, Jonathan and I lived in Texas for eight years. We loved Texas! What a wonderful place to live, good people, great cost of living and the most incredible food!!
We left Texas shortly after my first son was born to move to paradise, Florida. NO MORE SNOW!! Just alot of fun in the sun.
I am the proud mother of three boys! They are truely the best thing that has ever happened to me.(I know all mothers feel this way, but I can't help but say it too.) They are 12, 11, and 8 years old. They sure keep me on my toes. I'm very lucky...they all swim...so when it gets to crazy I just say "lets get in the pool" and life is good again. They are big fans of soccer and are currently learning the game of basketball.
My biggest blessing of all has been my husband of 20 years. Jonathan, is such a good man and he puts up with me. Go figure that one?!
The bigges...Expand for more
t influece in my life is God. Not to sound like a some God crazy person, but I feel I am. I attribute all the gifts and peace in my life to him.
If any of you come to FT.Myers, please get a hold of me, I would love to see ya'll.(I picked that last part up in Texas.)
I have just updated the ages of my children...I can't believe how long it has been since I first put by profile on this site. Not much has changed...I have just completed chemo for colon cancer(the second time)...My husband has proved to be the most supporting, loving man on earth, and my children are so much fun! Fort Myers Florida is still our home and we love it here very much. If you are ever in the area please look me up.

The boys are now all grown and we are empty nesters. Two of my boys live in Orlando and one lives in South Dakota. I am so proud of my boys. They have all grown into such fine men. Two are married and the other has found the women of dreams. No grandchildren yet ... but I have plenty of grand pets.
We still live in Fort Myers Florida, but have moved onto our little farm and now live with our creatures! We are so happy to finally have everything we like in one place. Jonathan, my husband, works from home full time now. It is truly awesome to have him home all the time.
We spend our free time visiting the boys, camping and off roading. Life is so much fun!
