Lauren's Story
Life
What can I say, life has been interesting since High School. I had my first child at 19 and my second child at 30. Life is always full of surprises and we've had our ups and downs, but at this time in our lives we are healthy and happy.
Our house is full of pets; 2 dogs, 1 duck, 1 guinea pig and a chameleon. Most of our free time is spent together having fun in the outdoors. We love camping, fishing, jet skiing, riding motorcycles, ATV'ing (is that a word?) and spending time with friends.
School
What I remember most about High School was the "Fishbowl". (If any other members of this elite club are out there, get in touch with me. I would love to hear from you.) I remember when Scotty, the security guard, shot himself in the butt, THE BATTLE OF THE BANDS (Hey Randy are you out there?). How much fun it was getting from East to West in a blizzard. The food fights in the IA cafeteria, the snowball fights between the freaks and the jocks. My first love (Hello Rod!). My closest friends (Becky, Barb, Cindy, Sally, Jen, Dennis, William, Dave). My worst enemies (Eleanor, K...Expand for more
elly). My favorite teacher, Mr. Wiley. And, of course, who could forget Dean Seale?
Workplace
Boy have I had a lot of different jobs! In high school I worked at McDonald's and then at World of Sleep. After a brief year of college, I began my career in accounting.
Thank you JJ Lay for seeing my potential before I did. They hired me as a receptionist and put me through 2 years of accounting at ACC. Once I completed my Associates Degree, I became the full time bookkeeper for this plumbing company.
After 5 years, I moved on to obtain my own goals as a public accountant. I worked for insurance companies, CPA firms and dabbled in Real Estate. It was at this time that I found my niche, retail accounting. I worked in that field for over 20 years until it was time for a change.
I am now the Assistant Controller for a Manufacturer's Representative firm in the Denver Tech Center and life is good!
As far as my personal life goes I am committed to an amazing man (Tracy) and we are very happy. Hopefully soon I can update my profile with a wedding announcement. Until then... Ciao!
