Hello Class of 1984!!! I cant believe how the time flys.. seems just like yesterday... I can still see everyone by there lockers, & in the hallways listening to their boom boxes.. Listening to ACDC... Van Halen, Pink Floyd..Damn.. where did the time go?
As you all KNOW I was very shy & not a real socialable girl. (But I bet some of you can still REMEMBER the fight I had in 1982 with my friend Jamie. The fight started at my locker with her coming up from behind me & pulling my hair all the way back to where I couldnt do much but let the ole adrellin kick in.... & boy did it take OVER!!! I was then nick named Mahammed Alli. LOL..
Now I am 40 yrs old and recently divorced. I got a divorce on my 40th birthday.. So, I celebrated my birthday in Indiana sighning a divorce paper. I have three great kids. Jessica will be 21 Oct 4, Zachary is 18, & my baby girl Jenna, just turned 16, August 16. I live in Rogers, Arkansas, & I LOVE the "natural state". Its absolutely beautiful here!! I am an outdoorsy girl, so I camp, hike, canoe, fish, go boating.. you name it... its awsome compared to Illinois..
I am currently single & looking! I do like being single. I have NEVER been on my own til now! Im 40 going on 18... I am having fun.. living life to the fullest.. I have been through so much in my life & I have learnt to take one day at a time.. I love my job. I do health care, & I get to travel to other peoples homes when need be. I work with all ages, the young & old... from alzheimers to people with disabilities.. Its a very challenging job.. you have to have alot of patience, & be very loving.
I love to go to places like Branson, MO (I live 1 hr away from Branson, ...Expand for more
