Marta's Story
I Have 2 kids, Katie and Josh. Katie is actually living in Springfield! She graduated in May 2007 and has her first teaching position as a third grade teacher at Fairview Elementary. She loves it. She sees and talks more to Beth Moore Formea, my best friend from HS than I do. Plus...Beth's two kids are living up here! Amazing.
Josh is now a Senior at Belmont University in Nashville, TN. He is a Commercial Music Major and minoring in Music Business. He's doing quite well and he has moved down there and planning on staying to try to make it in singing and hopefully getting signed by a label someday. I think he has a solid chance. He's very good and has a unique style.
I am a school counselor in an elementary school and love what I do. I am currently going back to school to get my principal/pupil service director license. I think I'm probably crazy, but.... now I have all this time on my hands so I might as well do something constructive.

as slowed down a lot! Another heart attack and diabetes is taking it's toll. Mom is still working part-time and doing well. She is still a blast!!! Katie spends a lot of time with her and really enjoys her as does my mom enjoy Katie.
I have not kept up with friends from high school or college the last few years. I did meet up with Jill Grove right before school started in 2008. She works in administration and she got to meet Katie too. She pretty much looked the same, but so mature!!! Great times. I would love to find time to connect with more old friends as my kids are moving on to their own lives. We had some good times!
I am no longer married to Don as of summer of 2009. Things are going well and the kids have adjusted. I'm enjoying my life for now and am trying to find new friends and meet new people which is strange after all these years. I've moved to a different town more rural and really enjoying it. I'm still very close to the city so have the best of both worlds.
