Maggie Brice:  

Life Where to start..I recently moved from Modesto, CA and purchased some property and a home in Southern Colorado. I am engaged to be married in August. Between us, Scott and I have 6 kids. My oldest is 21 years old and the youngest is 21 months. YES...21! We have 5 boys and 1 girl. I opened my own business this year called "The Basket Cottage" I make gift baskets for corporate accounts. I currently work in the ER in Trauma Services and admissions. I enjoy authentic italian cooking, good wine, the San Francisco Giants (at least we suck consecutively) I'm marrying a Denver Bronco Fan (men..puh) and I'm forever a SF 49er Fan..and again..I know we suck consecutively. Headin' to Maui this summer for our honeymoon. After Alaska, we were stationed in Louisianna -that sucked big time. And then it was back to Monterey California to Ft Ord and then off to the Marine Corp Air Station in Yuma,AZ. Now hold your enthusiasm for that place. We moved to Modesto, CA. We had a very close connection to Laci & Scott Peterson. Laci was my son's teacher at Ustach Middle School and a fantastic person, friend and neighbor. Don't forget to visit her site which is laci peterson dot com. Since leaving Northern CA, we do miss alot of things only available on the coast. Like crab season, deep sea fishing, Yosemite, going to Lake Tahoe for the weekend, sour dough bread bowls of fresh clam chowder on pier 39. What I remember most about Delta Jct and Ft. Greely was sitting in the snack bar, shooting the sh*t with friends and the GI's, eating Mrs Cepeda's egg salad, making out with kids you would die over if anyone found out..AND YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE! Ordering pizza from Pizza Bella and having it delivered to school and trying to get a piece before everyone else snarfed it down. I remember the ever cool Mr. Mark Weller, Our cheezy pep rallies and wandering the halls tryin' not to get caught skippin' class, hidden naked pictures of male models in our lockers. I remember my combination to my locker, 10-1-31, catching the 2nd bus and riding to school in the dark w/ Jr's and Sr's and HATING to take the first bus to school with Freshman's and Sophomores. That sucked too. And, I thought it was so cool that there was a teacher named JACK DANIELS. My fiance's last name is Daniels..and my #3 boy's name is Jack Okay, no connection there..I mean the guy looked like a lawn troll with a thyroid proplem, but he was cool. Nowdays, I catch myself sounding like my mother, yellin' at the kids, "TURN THAT CRAP DOWN".."NO YOU CAN'T TAKE THE CAR".."YOU ARE NOT GOING OUT DRESSED LIKE THAT"..(and that's to my mother) My oldest son, Jonathon is 21. Most of you won't remember that at all, but he's awesome. One of my best friends. All my kids are taller than me. Even the 21 month old. They grow so fast. All healthy, all wise asses and all beautiful. I have been blessed. What's up with you all? I'm sure that with a good bottle of wine, we could remember some really funny stories and memories. Post them. It takes a few minutes, but it's worth it. We've all got this common thread in common. We were young in Alaska and we all went through the same crap at home, at school and with friends. Thanks for reading Maggie School I got to make out with David Herman once, but he bragged about it on the bus to Steve McVeigh and so I denied it. He was a good kisser for a young guy. I remember playing spin the bottle at Sgt Ramo'...Expand for more
