Sherri's Story
HOME
Had a great time traveling Europe while stationed in Germany, then ended my 6 year active duty Air Force tour in June 1993 at Robins AFB, GA. I stayed at Warner Robins, GA until I figured out what I wanted to do with my life. I was in the Reserves, so the military was still a big part of my life. About a year later, I went to visit a friend of a friend in St. Augustine, FL. I instantly fell in love with it's historic beauty and European charm, not to mention the beaches!! I moved there 3 weeks later and have been a Florida girl ever since.
FAMILY
Married Kerry Nelson in Nov 1996; still married! We met at St. Augustine Beach and dated for 2 years before we married in a historic St. Augustine garden.
- My son was born Jun 1999
- My daughter was born Oct 2001
SCHOOL
Went to school mostly in Dayton, TX, but left briefly in 1st Grade to live in Marshall and Weatherford, TX. Returned to Dayton where I continued to go to school until end of 8th grade. We moved to Roswell, NM where I spent 5 mos of my Freshman year at Goddard High School, 2 mos in Lubbock, TX then 2 mos in Lufkin, TX. Hard year!! Went to Dayton again in my Sophomore year while living with my Sister. Then attended Lufkin High School in Lufkin, TX for my Junior/Senior years where I graduated.
