Lisa's Story
After OHS, I went to MATC for a year, and got a diploma in Data Entry Operations. Since I didn't know what I wanted to do, I did not see the reason in spending big $$ for a degree in something I would turn out later to regret. And, I have since been working in such places as Dean, CUNA & Affiliates, MGE, Citigroup.....so, not having that 4 year degree hasn't hurt me too much. I have thought about going back to school, and if I did, I would do a double major in History/African American History and Education - I would love to be a teacher, but still that $$ part still scares me a lot - especially since at 38, I would probably never pay off those loans!!
I have been married for almost 8 years (dated for 10) to James, and we have two children (I am hoping for one more - haven't c...Expand for more
onvinced James of that yet), Alisah, 2 1/2, and James Jr, 1 yr old. We currently have 2 dogs - a Rottweiler named Max, and a poodle mix named Sadie. We also have 3 cats Simon, Tigger, and Lady - I can't imagine not having at least one pet - be it a cat or dog.
In 2001, my husband was promoted to a job in Davenport, Iowa, and we ended up bouncing all over the state of Iowa, with all his job promotions, for 7 years, ending up most recently in Perry - which is about 30 miles west of Des Moines.
But, all good things come to an end, and our life in Iowa just wasn't working out, so in January, 2008, I moved back to Madison; in February my kids came too, and hopefully in March, James will rejoin me.
So far, so good - I got my old job back at MGE, and things are going just fine.
