Andrea's Story

Life Well... I actually didn't talk all that much in hs, so I doubt anyone even remembers me. But now that I have a life- I can't wait to share my story and all the great things I've encountered along the way! OH what a story it is! I finally found happiness. Granted it meant leaving everything I knew and was comfortable with. But when a friend encouraged me to come out to WA state and 'play' for the summer that meant quitting my crappy job and being voluntarily unemployed for a few months, and taking a chance. That was in 2005, I was supposed to go home in October. That time has come and gone twice over. LOL! Sometimes you just have to take a chance! It's worked out so far. I not only met the guy I will spend the rest of my life with- we just got married in June. Currently we live about 30 mins south-ish of Seattle. A very central area- 10 mins from the beach (okay it's the Sound and it's ALWAYS cold water) but it's still beautiful! We have two black kitties. We plan to eventually add a couple of human kids to the family. <G> Life is grand! As for my job- I did graduate from Mo West with a BS in Commercial Art. After my Semi moment- and...Expand for more
tired of the commmute in traffic I decided life is too short to spend 3 hrs a day commuting. I found the best job on earth. I work at a great little print shop and I love it- I've been there 6 months now. I have never loved my job so much. I now work 10 miles from my house- and have the evenings and wkends off like a normal person! Well- that's it I guess. I'm married now- nothing short of miraculous there. I had to move across the country to meet him. He's wonderful! He's an engineer of some kind for Boeing. (quality and metal or something like that) I have NO IDEA really. He's smart and sweet and funny. Isn't That what it's all about? Well.. All that and the start of Hockey season! I never knew I loved clam chowder or Hockey (junior league-it's more violent and interesting) <G> until I moved out here to the PNW. While it does rain pretty much from October to June (mostly intermittently) I wouldn't trade it for the ice cold brutal winters or hot humidity of Missouri EVER again. I also found that I love being this close to the ocean, whether it's the Sound, or the actual ocean- I wouldn't move inland again. I definately love it out here in Washington!
