Ellen's Story

Since graduating high school, I did bookkeeping for a while before deciding to go back to school to work on a degree in accounting. I was almost done with my Associate's degree when I decided to move to the Tampa area. I was able to do this thanks to Bill Hearne, Cris & Neena's dad, whom I was working for at the time. I moved to Tampa just before Labor Day 1997 and it was the best thing I ever did. I finished my degree with Florida Metropolitan University (a private university) where I graduated suma cum laude in 2000. Since then I have worked mostly as a Property Accountant for 2 Property Management/Shopping Center Development companies in the Tampa/St. Pete area. I am currently working as a Senior Accountant for a national janitorial services company. My favorite activity used to be playing women's league softball, where I played second & third bases. Unfortunately I had to give it up because I had to get back surgery a few years ago. Now, I like to spend time with friends at the dog park and make an occasional trip to one of our many beautiful beaches here. I really love Florida and I plan to make my way around this great state and take in all of the sights. There is so much here that I haven't seen because of a lack of time. I have gotten hooked on watching telenovelas (spanish soap operas). Funny s...Expand for more
tory, the cable was out due to some strong thunderstorms, and the stations started coming back one at a time. I was flipping through the stations and recognized one of the actors on the spanish station. I started watching out of curiosity and got hooked. I decided that watching novelas was a good way to learn a new language. It has actually helped quite a bit. There is a large hispanic population here in Florida, so learning spanish is a very good thing. I am actually considering by the Rosetta Stone package now. I've learned quite a bit, but now I want to learn more. I never got married, although I came close a couple of times. I don't have any kids and at this point in my life, I don't want any. My little brother (not so little) has 3 kids, 2 that live with him, so I have experienced all I want to with teenagers. My nephew David just graduated from Brandon High School and my niece is a junior at the same school. My mom moved down here about 5 years ago and my brother came about a year later. They complain about the heat alot, but it really isn't any worse here than it is in Salisbury. Salisbury is worse in August than Tampa is. It never gets to 100 degrees here, at least it hasn't since I have been here. I also love the fact that it doesn't get too bitter cold here. Tampa definitely feels like home.
