Kelly's Story
Life
Well, after graduating I took a job at the YWCA. I retired in 2002 after 23 years at age 41. I took 2 years off and then became a substitute teacher ~ K-5th only. I wanted to spend more time with my kids. I gave up substituting in 2006 because I acquired severe arthritus in both my knees. I have always been "weight challenged" if most of you remember. I was never the skinny, or moderately skinny, girl in my class (or anybody else's class). At some point I injured my knees over the years, and with the weight, it lead to no cartilage. Some think of it as a disability, I just see it as a inconvenience. Either way, I am limited at times to what I can do.
Now on to my favorite topic. My girls are 14 and 18. Devon is in 8th grade at Needwood Middle School and has been a competitive dancer with Southern Strut for 9 years. Kalyn is a senior at BHS and plays volleyball. She has lettered all four years. They won the "Regional Championship" this year and made it into the "Sweet Sixtee...Expand for more
n" at State. My girls are truly my pride and joy.
I have been married for 21 years to Bruce Guffey. He is not related to Karen (most of you knew her) or any other Guffey in Brunswick. He comes from Illinois. We have 2 poodles, Zoie and Jersey. In 2001 we bought a 4 bedroom/3 bath doublewide and put it on a permanent foundation in north Glynn County. We looked at houses and for the cost vs. how much room I wanted I said to heck with it.....I'm the "QUEEN" of my doublewide.
For those that knew my mother "Big Red" we lost her to a stroke in 1996. My father pasted away April 28, 2006. It's strange not having parents. But, such is life.
I feel blessed to still be around to see how people have faired in life. I'm in the phone book if ever you want to conversate. If not, keep photos going so we can see everyone's progress. I love what I've seen so far. I promise I will start to leave comments. You do the same.
That just about wraps it up. Keep safe and my God bless you always.
