Lauren's Story
Well...after graduation I attended Whitworth College in Spokane Washington. I studied sports medicine while there. In 1982 I moved to Minnesota. Been trying to escape the cold sense. LOL. I've been divorced and remarried in 1994. We just celebrated our 24th anniversary this summer. I was never able to children of my own but have been blessed with nieces, nephews, and cousins. I seem to always find myself surrounded by children. The last 8 years I have basically been a nanny for a dear friend who had a child late in life. It's been the most wonderful experience of my life. So to know I would have been an awesome mom and would have enjoyed every moment has been the greatest gift ever. The 2 of us have a bond that will last a lifetime. I remember when Chase was 8 yrs old saying "Laurie, I sure hope you are still alive when I have kids." I asked why and he responded "I want you to be apart of their life too." Wow what 8 year old boy thinks that far ahead. Ne...Expand for more
edless to say, he melted my heart. Then of course I started figuring out just how old I might be by then. Yikes! LOL
I know I left I Kelso never looking back not even a good bye. But, at the time, I was just looking for a new life as far away as I could get. I didn't realize how much I would regret not keeping in touch. Life three me a few punches so I thought I just needed that new start where there was no past. Where I could be that outgoing happy person I was ment to be. I didn't realize at the time just how important my friends were and starting over wasn't the answer. So I ran and didn't look back til the 10th reunion. But even then I snuck out the back door without a goodbye. I hope that one day I'll make it back. But I can't find anything about a 40th reunion. If there is one, I plan on coming. But this time when the reunion is over, I will say goodbye and not slip out the back door like I did. It anyone knows about a reunion.....please let me know.
