Katie's Story

Life Since high school I have attended several colleges, and have yet to actually get my bachelors degree. I'm 4 classes away from a BA in elementary education, but having kids and dedicating myself to being a full time mom has put that on hold for now. My family is definately top priority. I married Travis Rutherford (Thurston '95 graduate) in July of 2003. He is a Godsend I tell ya! We have a son, Colby James born January 24, 2003, and a daughter Gracie June born September 7, 2004. With 2 young ones we have our hands full. Travis re-enlisted in the Army shortly after we got married and was sent to Texas for training and then S. Korea for a year. So I have been a "single mom" for the last year and a half. Currently (as of July '05 we are living in Oak Grove, KY. Travis is stationed at Fort Campbell, KY with the 160th division Nightstalkers. We like it here, but it's not like home.... Hopefully we will be transfered to a new 160th division being set up at Fort Lewis, WA next year. Until then we're trying to fit into this Southern society as best as us Yankees can. School I would have to dig deep down to remember anything worth printing, when it comes to high school memories. I think most people would agree that so much has happened in their lives in the last 9+ years that far out shadows anything that happened in high school...Expand for more
. I liked school, it was a growing time for me that's for sure, but I don't reminisce (this thing needs spell checker) about it much... College College was a blur... Until I finally settled down at NCC I think I wasted something like $20,000 on absolutely nothing! I was an Alpha Chi Omega at U of O for about a year (couldn't handle the whining rich girls), went to Lane to save some money, quit school, went back, quit again, went back... 3 years into this vicious cycle I decided to buckle down and stick with it at NCC studying Elementary Education. My last term I got pregnant with my son, and I was way too sick to get out of bed for classes and student teaching. That's where I quit...again. One of these days I'll go back and finish that last term :) Workplace During my viscious cycle of schooling and working I spent most of my time working at a bridal shop in Eugene. I got to be involved in every aspect of putting a wedding together: flowers, attire, food, invitations, rental equipment, music. I even got to participate as a model in some of the local fashion shows since my coworker and roommate at the time produced them. I also worked in my church's nursery taking care of kids whenever needed, and I was a nanny as well for a very good friend of mine. Now I am the CEO of a place I call home (definately the most difficult job ever!)
