Kristy's Story
I may be shown in the Brainard High School class but did not really attend there. I was trying to see if I could find some people who attended Dalewood Jr.High since I moved out of town during my last year there.
I enjoyed that school, felt like I had a lot of friends there.
I moved to Birmingham, AL.....finished middle school there and went to Berry High for a couple of years.
I guess you could say that was the rebellious time of my life so my parents shipped me off to live with my Dad and "evil" step-mother in Statesboro, GA. I graduted Statesboro High in 1973 and still have a best friend from there.
I had a job at ITT Grinell as a computer operator for a while during my senior year and after graduation but some friends talked me in to moving to the ATL which was fun for a couple of years. I worked for a private hospital in Admissions. I got tired of Atlanta and moved back to my root city of Birmingham. Took a couple of office jobs, met my first husband, Jim. We had two children, Jason & Summer, but things between Jim and me did not work out. So I was a single mom for most of my children's lives.
It was hard of course trying to be a good mother and working to try to pay the bills but you just did what you had to do.
I pretty much fell in to accounting with a CPA teaching me how to keep the financial statements balanced and correct.
After my son enrolled in Auburn University, I decided to move my daughter and myself to Destin FL. I al...Expand for more
ready had some family here and loved the beach anyway. I have been here for 10 years and after being divorced for 23 years I finally met a man that was perfect for me. We married in 2005 on the beautiful Destin beach at sunset. He was in the Special Operations Division at Hurlburt Field (Air Force) but he has since retired and is working for the same company as I am. We are in vacation rental real estate management. He handles the maintenance division and I handle the rental income and expenses. The only thing we get concerned about is the hurricanes during the season.
Tim has three boys, one is married with a baby on the way. He is stationed at Colorado Springs, CO and the other two live near us.
Both Tim and his son have been to the middle east to fight in the war with in the past two to three years. The both came home safely.
My children live in Birmingham. My son is married to Marie and they have a daughter, Kaitlyn who is 5. My daughter, Summer, lives with them and she has a son, Malachi, who is 7.
To fill in the ups and downs in my life would take too many lines. If anyone remembers me and would like to say hello. Please do. I was skinny, brown haired, and had (still do) long eyelashes. I was a little shy.
I think most of that has changed tho.....like it has for most of us. We will never look like we used to even with all the botox and rejeuvederm out there so be proud of how you look now. We're all getting old! And better.
