Vicki's Story
Life
Greetings fellow class mates from days gone by! I moved to the South in 1992; yet I am still a midwest girl at heart. Not long after my move to NC; I divorced and joined the forces of "single parenting"-(yep you see the photo- 7 treasures) I have actually been a single parent more than a married parent which has been challenging YET very interesting. I count it a privilege to be a parent; and I thank God for entrusting these dear treasures to me for the duration...WOW It GOES SO FAST!
BEING a Culturally blended family is ALSO a BONUS!!!
In my Pictures...you will see all seven blessings; My eldest three children are adopted from Haiti...and 4 birth kids! 3 boys and 4 girls...
I currently work in the non-profit sector - Lutheran Family Services of the Carolinas in Refugee Resettlement. I enjoy working with the immigrant population in Job development and assist these individuals with attaining self-sufficiency. I find it rewarding and an honor to work with this population of "new comers" to our community.
I love to travel and I have had the opportunity to do quite a bit of international travel. I just returned from an 11 day trip to Israel in Nov 2007...It was the trip of a lifetime and a spiritual blessing beyond words!
Outside of my travels; I also lived in South Africa from 1996-1998 which is another long story in itself; yet I would not trade the experience for anything...I think my children would agree. Africa will always have a special place in each of our hearts!
My younge...Expand for more
st two kids and I spent 1 month traveling through Kenya in 2005 with a friend of ours who finished her PHD. We went with her and her two children to celebrate this grand accomplishment in her village with her family and friends ...It was totally AWESOME and a Blessing to us all!
BY THE WAY....I wrote this bio cuz it has been fun to read others in the last couple days; and I'm sure people who have known me in the past will get some chuckles ffrom mine...then hopefully jot me a note!
I have not attended any of the reunions since the 10 year so I am hoping to make it to the thirty year reunion this coming summer...I haven't kept in touch with anyone; so I think the reunion would be a blast!!! At times it seems eons- away in time yet then some of the smiles and memories seem like a yesterday of some kind.
( The bio idea mention above re: new chopper or leathers made me LAUGH!!!)....
....Well I do NOT have a chopper but I do drive a motor cycle and I have attended 2007 Daytona Bike week and had a wonderful time! I have some really neat friends from church that I am able to ride with in the Blue Ridge Parkway and the the beach; not to mention short little local fund raiser rides which are always fun! I used to be a passenger until...I purchased my own bike this past year. Yes I have been in a wreck when I was a passenger and YES I still ride. (It is honestly a long story) I'm still here and alive; thus I am confident that God has some wonderful plans for me going forward in my Life journey!
