Andrea's Story

Life Hello, I hope this still finds everyone well!! I live for the moment in Bolingbrook, Illinois. I have 2 boys Kyle is now 10 and Colin now 6!! They keep me very busy!! Kyle is very good at soccer which is his passion and Colin well lets just say he has a mind of his own but keeps his parents laughing a bunch. This year Kyle will be trying out for travelling soccer as I had not wanted to do it any earlier as it takes up soooo much time. But, he is getting too bored as his skills are beyond that of the regular teams so I think I might have to end up moving him up a level. But being that it is his passion and something he wants to pursue through his later years in school I think it would be best. Colin is also very awesome at soccer, he too has a passion for it and the both of them play whenever they get the chance. I'm saving up my money so that my sister and I can hit London next year and Paris. I have so missed travelling abroad so we are looking forward to heading out on our own without the kids or hubbies. I have not been to Paris yet so looking forward to that as for our honeymoon we were suppose to go but we grew very tired as we had already been in London for 5 days and then Africa for 15 days so we blew off Paris big mistake. Also want to catch Wimbeldon as I love to watch and play tennis. So happy the STEELERS won this year as I'm a lifelong fan my dad grew up there so I've never been a Bears fan!! Oh and the White Sox can I say nothing else but they rock!!!! SOOOOOO sorry CUBS fans but the White Sox are the best what can I say love going to the games with my boys!! Oh and our Cheetah run rocked we just did our 2nd one and had over a 1,000 runners/walkers up from 600 last year. So we are getting there!! We made over 60,000 dollars but, after paying the run club who set everything up for us and all the shirts and so on we had about 15,000 to give to Laurie!! Not bad in such a bad economy right now, our plan is to visit Laurie in about 3 years when the boys get a bit older, since we are close to her we are able to stay with er and have hands on with the Cheetahs I can't wait to actually touch one been sooooo close but never actually touched a tame one, it will rock and to be down there again wil be awesome once you go there it really changes you. So travelling is upon me again and I'm so psyched some love to stay where they are and never travel me I get bored I want to see other places as many as I can before I get too old, rather spend the money on that than a big huge boring house and cars that well you just pay for but don't teach you anything or see anything new BORING!! But hey not for everyone Take care all and travel if you can the world has AMAZING places, don't leave this planet without seeing what it has to offer you!! Andrea 4-20-2009 I went to Eastern Illinois after I graduated from W.C.!! After that I became a Flight Attendant for United Airlines for 10 years!! Which to this day I still miss a ton. I lived in N.Y. for about a year and then came back to Chicago!! I flew International for the last few years at United hitting a bunch of place...Expand for more
s. I hit London, Germany, Hong Kong, Tokyo, and Africa, along with every major city in the U.S. and Canada and Mexico. I met my husbaand on a flight I was working first class and he was a passenger, so we got married a couple of years later and I resigned to stay home with my kids. I just went back to work part time and am assistant manager for J.Jill for now. I love it and since I love fashion and clothes I get to be around it on a regular basis. I also work with the Cheetah Conservation Fund. I have had a lifelong love of these animals, and seeing them in Africa fueled my want to help them. I love it !! I work with a committee based in Chicago and we help the foundation which is located in Namibia, Africa and is run by Laurie Marker. This Spring we are having our first ever Run For The Cheetah in Chicago !! Should be awesome!! I love to run so have not done a run in awhile so we'll see how I do it is only a 5K so hopefully I will be able to finish with a decent time!! My goal is to either move somewhere warm in the next 2 years hopefully abroad as I much prefer their way of life in Europe!! Really I prefer London!! For me I just feel right at home there, plus, I would love for my sons to just take the rail a couple of hours and be in a completely different country!! I love that about Europe!! All the little eating places, it truly is amazing over there if one can afford to get there as we are trying to do!! Hope your lives are all good!! Just hang and have an awesome life!!! Andrea My favorite way to relax is watch a good movie or listen to my band Duran Duran Goodness my hero is Laurie Marker of the Cheetah Conservation Fund. She just up and moved to Africa to save what she loved most the Cheetahs! I've always wanted to do that but, didn't have the guts. She did and went with nothing in her pockets and has done amazing things!! How awe inspiring is that!! Love American Idol I love British men I love Simon He is honest, but under all the harshness I know he is a big pupy dog. I have a friend in London and his father owns a restaurant where all the famous come in such as Madonna, Johnny Depp, and Simon Cowell among many others, he says he gives sooo much away to charities but does not believe in bringing himself recignition for it as he feels one should just do it because it is what a person should do. He is soooo right!! love to listen to him and love his personality!! I love Colin Firth, along with Hugh Grant, Hugh Laurie, Clive Owens, Gerard Butler and of course Simon LeBon, British men are sooooo awesome!! And anyone from around Ireland and Wales:) Missed my calling should have married a Brit or Irish lad:) I still dress real young!! I look good and still can wear the little outfits as I don't look 42 most people think when they first meet me I'm 32 or there abouts!! That is awesome for self esteem. Some woman don't want to be next to me but, hey I am who I am if you have the figure you want have fun with it as you only go around once and I LOVE clothes mostly really cool different things nobody wears here I guess I dress very European I've been told!!
