Denise's Story
Wow, I can't believe it's been 45 years since we've graduated High School. Where does the time go? I actually moved before my senior year, and graduated from Mission Viejo High School. But I have always considered North High "my" school.
I married in 1973, so we will be celebrating our 40th anniversary in December. We have three beautiful daughters, 5 grandchildren, and 3 great-grandchildren. I retired in 2007. Hopefully, my husband can retire in 2 more years. We have lived in Henderson, Nevada for the past 21 years. We left California when the housing market crashed in 1992. It has been up and down here, but we both managed to stay employed for the most part, until I got laid-off in 2007. It ended up being good timing, because our daughter had married and was starting her family, so I got to be the caregiver for my new granddaughter. They have since had a second child, so now I help take care of them both when they are not in preschool. They are three and five. The oldest one will be going to kindergarten in the fall. Hard to believe.
The other two daughters live in California. They both each have a son. On...Expand for more
e is married, in the Air Force and lives in Florida with his wife. They have three children. Our other grandson just graduated from school to be a medical assistant, and is currently looking for a job. It's pretty tough in this economy.
Craig and I love to travel when we can, and especially enjoy the tropical climate. We've taken trips to most of the islands in Hawaii, and in 2011 went to Tahiti, where we stayed in an over-the-water bungalow. We've also enjoyed trips to the New England states to see the fall colors, and New York to see the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade. We'd love to go to Washing DC when the Cherry Blossoms are in bloom, and see more of that area.
The last reunion we went to was the 15th. We've moved several times since we got to Nevada, so I think somehow I fell through the cracks. Thanks to Classmates I have reconnected. I guess I missed a mini-reunion that happened right here in Las Vegas. That really bummed me out. I am not going to miss the one in October. So, I guess I will see whomever is there. Hopefully there will be a decent turnout. Until them, be safe and take care.
