Colleen's Story
Where do I start? I could do a year by year play, but that would take too long. I think I'll sum it up this way:
Went to Mt. Tahoma from 1973 to 1975. Transferred to Bethel Senior High in my Senior year (75-76), then onto Graduation, marriage, kids, divorce... unfortunately I have been there, done that. Life doesn't always turn out the way we'd like, so ya do what ya need to do.
I've lived in Washington most of my life, Union City, CA- Boise, ID- Colorado Springs,CO and finally Arlington,TX which is where I now reside.
I've worked as a nurses aid, office administrator, supervisor, site administrator, project manager, Regional Manager, Administrative Assistant (which is what I'm now doing)
I've worked for a nursing home (Tacoma), a hardware store-Coast House Materials Inc in downtown Tacoma, a Government Service Contractor-W. Harris, G.S.C., Inc...Expand for more
in Tacoma, Boise, and Colorado Springs, and currently working for Zale Corporation as an Administrative Assistant.
I have three wonderful and beautiful adult children; Aaron, Katie and Phillip who are my heartstrings. Between those three, I have 10 awesome grandchildren. 7 grand-daughters and 3 grandsons.Their ages range from 15 years to 2 years old.
Recently married and enjoying everything with my new life partner.
I enjoy music ranging from country to classic, and pop to jazz. Dancing, movies, crocheting, sewing, baking and cooking.
I love surfing the net for new recipes and have found quite a lot. Some tasted great and others shouldn't have been posted.
Other than that, just enjoying life. Send me a "Hello" if you'd like. Hope to hear from you.
Enjoy what life has to offer and remember.... every day you wake up, is an awesome day!
