Valerie's Story
Hi My childhood freinds..hope everyone is doing well & looking forward to turning 50. Remember when that was old-lol!!
My life has been exciting, full of good friends, great family and some bitter sweat moments -I am fortunate to still have my wonderful parents they just celebrated their 52nd anniversary. For those of you who remember them they are still fiesty- & growing old in Pahrump,Nv outside Vegas.
I left Illinois in 1990 to try something new. I got divorced & wanted to be a free spirit so I moved to Las Vegas. Well it's nodifferent there than anywhere still had to work for a living-no mega bucks for this girl!! My career for 30yrs was in the travel industry-the love of my life was to travel the globe & am so happy I did. Many people dream of "someday", but I did it everyday-been around the world 2ce, most continents and will grow old having so many cool memories.
I'm the proud mother of Joey 5yr old German Shepard, 20yr old Leo (cat) & 7 yr old Mitzi (cat). I once had a human step-daughter but have no idea where she i...Expand for more
s anymore.
I was relocated to Boise,Id in 2003 but after 13months my company went trhough a reorg-Jacksonbille,Fl or severance-I took the severance-I fell in love w/Boise-go figure Italians are a minority here-weird huh!! But it is really beautiful-so I retired from the travel industry & work for the Power Company. It pays the bills, no stress, I don't have to manage people & listen to them whine all day-so I am happy!!
I must admit-I miss Chicago everyday-there isnt a better place in the world to live except in the winter-haha!! and I really need a visit it's been almost 4yrs & I'm missing beef sandwhiches, hot dogs & real pizza!!
My brother Vince & sister Camille also live in the vegas area. Cami has 2 beautiful boys-Vince is following his big sisters lead staying single.
I have many memories of Goodrich & DGS days-somedays I wish I was still in high school those were the days.
So if you'll ever come north look me up I'll give you the nickle tour!!
Hope to hear from some of you out there-would love to recapture some good times!!
