Wendy's Story

WOW! Has times changed! In 1985 I was a wild and crazy senior and now I am so grounded in my family, faith, and friends. I graduated from Rhode Island College in August 1989 with a Bachelor's of Liberal Arts with a major in Psychology and a minor in Education. I met my husband (Raymond) in August 1987, engaged March 17, 1990, and married May 11, 1991. It hasn't been easy as Raymond had been married and has 2 beautiful girls. I have been in their lives since they were two and I love with my heart and soul. Tara is now 21 years old (on Feb 28) and a junior at Devry University in Austin TX. Ashley will be 23 in April and is a proud mom of Miguel. She lives in Woonsocket RI. Raymond also has a nephew, Staff Sgt. James Arrollo (28 years old), who my husband calls him his son as there was no father figure, is cute and dedicated. He is a career Army man stationed at Fort Carson, CO. His girlfriend, Tasha, is also career military (they both have been in 10 years) and is based at Fort Knox, KY. They have a beautiful daughter Alaina (our "granddaughter") that was born July 5, 2008. James will be coming back from Iraq for the third time Feb 16th and hopefully transferring closer to Tasha. On June 23, 1993 our awesome daughter Nicole Alysia Paquette was born. She is 16 and is the most amazing person in the world!!! She is a fabulous friend, talented singer and dancer, and smart individual. Nicole dances in a jazz lyrical class at Edge Dance. She is also in Seminole High School's Pizazz Show Choir in which she sings and dance in competitions and recitals. She is a junior at Seminole High School. Nicole is planning on attending a 4 year college or university for finance. I have moved around a bit. I moved from Cumberland to Woonsocket in which I lived there in a couple of places from Aug 1989 thru Feb 19...Expand for more
96. Then Raymond and I bought our home in Johnston and lived there Feb 1996 to August 2006. We sold it and leased a town home for a year in Johnston. In August 2008 we moved to Lake Mary Florida and in August 2009 we leased a condominum in Sanford Florida. As far as jobs go, I chose to have a "9-5" job so I could dedicate myself to my family. I did start off in retail management but it was too time consuming. I have worked in a variety of offices over the years: Lifetime Medical, Paramount Jewelry, Santoro Oil, Arden Engineering, and now Tharp Plumbing. I have had many titles: administrative asstitant, project assistant, customer service service department, payroll specialist, and estimating assistant. My husband is a truck driver. For 14 years he worked for Watkins Motor Lines until it was bought out by FedEx which is when our world changed. He has been working nights and me days then he was forced to go over the road again as team driver. Then FedEx restructured in CT and we transferred to Florida thinking we could have a local run again. Well too many came into the terminal and he was let go. So he's back on the road and home every 2-3 weeks. We hope he can eventually find a local job here in Florida. But there is a reason the Lord moved us to Florida and gradually we will see it. Right now, Nicole is getting soo many more opportunities than RI and I feel it is very beneficial! I enjoy to read, travel, take care of others, and nature. I really am so mello considering the way I was. My kids can't picture the party side of me but I'm glad I came out of in unscathed. It was a great parenting tool as my kids attempted everything HAHA I would like to get in touch with the class of 1985 but really the class of 1986. I had more friends there and would like to know where you are. So please, connect.
