Janet Gutierrez:  

Life WOW where has time gone! This is fall of 2007. I had remarried, a few years after my husband died. I am divorced. I never thought I would say those words. But marrying a man that is narcissistic and a sociopath, was not what the Lord had intended for me. I am a hospice social worker, I work in very rural areas, some with Amish and Mennonite people in Kansas. It is very humbling. I am a proud grandma of 21/2 year old Diego River Laven. My daughter Jenny and her hubby live in Leavenworth. She has a Vintage Clothing Store and My son in law Lance is a Master Electrician and has his own business. My son Justin is half way through Culinary School here in Kansas. He was my frozen pizza kid, so go think! My mom lives with me. I am still in our log home that my ex I built.I am awaiting it to sell. You can see it on the Reece Nichols web site, a virtual tour. I am so blessed to have my Lord Jesus in my life. I often wonder how non believers survive. I have a side business of soapmaking and eclectic arts. I was featured in the Kansas City Star Magazine last week. That is my therapy to create. I love to travel. I am going to Quebec City next year. After 21 years of military life with my Albert, the travel does not get out of the girl. I do not have a TV, we live way out until the house sells and it is so peaceful here. I read a lot. I am teaching an Ethics class at Ft Leavenworth for Upper Iowa University. I dabble in some college teaching. I would love to here from any one. I am the 72 graduate of Normandy, I posted Independence High School because my group of girlfriends and I hung out with Independence people. Fast forward now to July 2008. I am quite busy with work and teaching. I have also re-acquainted myself with a long lost LOVE, the love of speed ice skating. I started skating again. I have also been bike riding and kayaking. My mom now lives in an assisted living, she was no longer safe to live here while I was at work. I love what I do and try very hard to feel what my hospice pts feel. I try to keep then laughing, I am still the jokester, just ask my peers. Life is worth living and God is good. Wendy, Roseanne, Nancy, Diane B and Sara, we all try to keep in touch after all these years. CERVANTES!!. I still live in the Log home, has not sold yet. I love natural and down to earth stuff, I try to exercise and eat right. I make my own soaps, lotions. I have studied to be an herbalist, but have not completed, work in progress. I am blessed. WE MAY NEVER PASS THIS WAY AGAIN. Janet ( Benesch) Gutierrez Update, Spring 2010. Well my home sold last year, I am still in the country. My mo...Expand for more
