Buena's Story
Life
After living and teaching ESL and Kindergarten for more than 20 years in Urbana, I spent 3 years in Cheatham County, TN. (Dispelling any ideas I might have had about wanting to be a hillbilly.) I then moved to Albuquerque, NM where I taught in a small school located between two Pueblos. This year (2004) I am teaching Special Ed Life Skills to 9-11 year olds.
In May, 2000, Eric (Kaylor) and I found each other (thanks, Classmates.com), I moved back to Decatur and now we are living happily ever after...together!
I have 2 children, Kristin, 31 and Jeffrey, 23...both of whom are happy and healthy and living in New Mexico...where Eric and I have purchased 47 acres of desert and plan to retire there in a few more years!
Update: Eric and I got married in Venice, FL on January 5, 2002
Update: Eric and I bought 47 acres at the foot of the Manzano Mt and are moving to New Mexico next summer. We will be living in a camper while we build our home. It should...Expand for more
be an adventure!
Update: We've finally made it! Living in a camper is a bit crowded, but cozy. No matter what direction you look here, the views are breathtaking. I am teaching kindergarten at La Promesa Elementary in Veguita, NM and Eric started work at the Walmart Distribution Center in Los Lunas last week. Life is GREAT!
Update: After 2 years, we are STILL living in that camper! Building a house here is a slow process...but we do have a drive...and a hole in the ground! My son Jeffrey is going to law school in TX, but is back in NM for the summer.
Update: We are nearing our third year in this camper...but the end is in sight! The house is a work in progress and we hope to move in in late Sept. or early Oct. Eric is a grandpa for the 3rd time. My son will start his 3rd year of law school after interning in D.C. this summer. My daughter is doing editing work online and also has a new position with her church.
Life continues to be wonderful!
