Karen's Story
Well, here we are almost 34 years after Graduation. Wow, do I feel old. I am currently living in Utah. I have been here for 4 1/2 years now. I am recently divorced after 27 years of marriage. It is too bad that not all marriages last a lifetime. But, I am better off with him out of my life.
I have worked in the Human Resource industry all my adult life. I still do that here in Utah. I work for a local flooring store, Pyne Floor Coverings. It is owned by my brother-in-law and my sister, Teri. When I moved to Utah, they offered me a job managing the store. I also do the hiring and firing. The usual HR stuff. Due to the changes in the economy, I have also picked up other duties, such as, Salesman, Receptionist, Bookkeeping and all around Gopher. I still enjoy my work.
I have 3 children. Adam, 28, is a certified Accountant with Daletax in Provo, Utah. He & Katie finally got married this past May after 5 years of dating. Katie is an RN in the NICU unit at Utah Valley Hospital in Provo, Utah. They are expecting their first child in September. Yea!! I will finally be a Grandmother.
Next, there is Danny, 27. He lives in Oakland, CA. He is a Environmental Green Educator. ...Expand for more
He has consulted for different Cities in the Bay Area. He also does a little construction work on the side. He has just recently gone back to College at a Community College in Oakland, Ca. He is also working for them. They are setting up a new department on the Green Environmental stuff. He is assisting with that and is student teaching until he gets his certification with the state. Then he is planning on teaching full time there. This is a big change for him but it is his passion and I know that he will enjoy it. Danny & Monique live in Richmond, Ca. Monique teaches Music & French at a private school.
Then we have Kayla, 23. She got home in November, 2009 from serving a full-time Mission for the LDS Church. She was serving in the Iowa Des Moines Mission. She learned spanish and worked within the Hispanic communties during her Mission. She is currently attending UVU in Orem, Utah. She will be graduating in December. She is going into Family & Marriage Counseling. She is hoping to work more within the Hispanic communities.
So, this is the current info on me. As you can guess, my children mean the world to me. They have turned into fantastic adults. I truly love them.
