Lisa's Story
Catch 'em up on what you've done and who you are.
Well, let's see...after high school I worked as an EMT on the ambulance service for nine years, dabbled in some college courses, and searched for my "special someone".
I met Tim, my husband, in 1990 and we were married in July, 1991. As a bonus to the marriage I became a mom to my step-son Andrew who was five at the time. Honestly, I have to say I could not have ever had a more wonderful son as I was blessed to receive through this marriage. Then in 1992 God blessed us with "Katie" (named after my Grandma Katie) and in 1996 God blessed us again with Kristyn.
From December 1997-July of 2000 we learned first hand what an incredible awesome healing God we serve as we watched God slowly heal our daughter Kristyn of Leukemia. She is twelve years old now and you would never know to look at the child that she had ever been sick. Praise the Lord!
For the past six years I have worked as a secretary at Will Rogers Eleme...Expand for more
ntary. I love it! It is wonderful to get to know all the kids and I work with an incredible bunch of people. Plus I'm off when the kids are!! My husband works for REC as a Field Supervisor.
Several things I really enjoy about still living in Vinita are:
#1) My best buddy Danna is still here hangin' with me.
#2) I actually enjoy watching my kids grow up, go to school, and graduate from the same place I did.
#3) Having such a great support system - family, friends, church family that have been a part of my life for so many years. In my opinion you can't beat it.
There were of course ups and downs in high school but for the most part I had a really great time. Kind of wish I'd studied and paid more attention but like I said I had a great time. Ha! My husband always asks "what exactly did you do in high school?" and I respond "well, I did a lot of note writing but I'm not exactly sure it was about the lesson being taught..."
Hope all of you are well and happy!
