Lisa's Story
Quick update: Life is still good, still happily married and still gainfully employed (thank goodness!). We bought a boat a couple years ago and keep it in Lake Michigan between Chicago and Milwaukee. Its really fun, still learning a lot about safe boating and what B-O-A-T really stands for... 'bout another thousand! That's an answer to just about any question having to do with fixing a problem or upgrading something fairly small. LOL! Winter is long here, so boating season is short, only about 5 months most years. Its a 30' cabin cruiser, sleeps 4 comfortably inside and probably 2 more on the aft deck, but haven't tried that yet. Spend just about every weekend on the boat during the summer, even if we can't take it out due to heavy seas or high winds. Still, its a lot of fun to hang out at the dock with our neighbors, cooking out, reading, drinking margaritas... My step daughter spends a lot more time with us now that we have the boat and occassionally brings a girlfriend to spend the weekend. Really fun stuff.
Life
Moved to Chicago area after ...Expand for more
high school; attended DeVry, and have been working in the PC/Network/Midrange/Windows technical arena since the mid-1980s. For the past 5 years, have worked at Allstate Insurance, which is where I met my husband. We married March 2001, in Townsend, TN. I don't have any children of my own and don't want any, but have 3 step children who DON'T live with us! Lucky for me they are very good kids and we get along very well. Paul and I are blissfuly happy, and life is wonderful! We are planning to retire (early if we can) in East TN or Western NC. Would love to hear from all my old friends.
Story Wizard:
I always wanted to be a astronaut when I grew up. My family and friends thought that was a dumb idea. As it turns out, they were right.
Take a quick walk while listening to my iPOD.
If I'm going to work somewhere, I need to have my atm card, cell phone, and reading glasses to be able to deal with the day-to-day.
Peyton Manning is my favorite QB ever, comes from a great family, all of whom care about kids and their community.
I love Boating!!
