Stephanie Asbridge:  

Hello, all, I wonder if the interest in getting in touch with classmates is spurred on by the fact that it's our 25th reunion this summer?? Can't believe it. Well, here's a short rundown of the past 25 years: Married in 1986 to Gene Tauer. He was attending Marymount when I met him in spring of 1983. We had a son, Benjamin, about a year and a half after being married. Then a year and a half later, another son, Nathaniel. They go by Ben and Nate. So Ben's a sophomore at CU in Boulder, Nate gratuates HS in a couple days. He'll go to Metro here in Denver. Gene and I were divorced this past December. We do get along, though. But it took awhile to get there. I'm a cook for a catholic pre-school/kindergarten here in Arvada, CO, a suburb of Denver. I've been here just about 9 years now. Wow! That's the longest I've been at a job so many consecutive years in a row. We've lived between Denver and Salina a few times and I always seem to work for the Salina Public Library when I'm living there. I love my job. I love cooking for the little kids, I'm the only one who does it so I kind of work by myself. That's nice! I get to do home cookin' and kid cookin'. My kind of stuff.

My boys are old enough that we can discuss things. They are night and day from each other. I know some of you, if not all, can relate to this. Black sheep/white sheep.........that kind of thing. They're both very good young men. I'm not just saying that. Just ask my folks! I am finally able to appreciate being alone. I wouldn't promote divorce, nor rally for singlehood, but if it has to be this way, it's a good thing to be able to accept it. Hey, I'm my own critic and boss. I can handle that on my own. (ok, just for now. Maybe some day someone else can assume those roles, but very gently.) I do alot with my girlfriends. I have 2 very very good ones here and we all hang together. I like my basic hobbies, such as knitting and crochet, cooking, card-making, and I walk to keep fit. Or try to keep fit. I'd like to travel. I did some of that whe...Expand for more
