Rebecca's Story

Life How intimidating. What do people want to know about me? Of course, you know how old I am because you are all the same age. Glenn and I are still very happily married and we still live in Tyler Texas where we have been for 20 years. I have 3 boys. Growing up, I never saw myself as a mom but it did not take long for me to realize that is what I was put here to do. I know it sounds way too sappy, but I have enjoyed every single day living in a house with 4 boys [ I include Glenn in the group]. Bradley is almost 25 and is an orchestra teacher in the Dallas area and has been married for 2 and a half years. Aubrey is 22 and is an athletic director and history teacher and has been married to Carli for one year. Timothy is 20 and will be attending UT Arlington this fall to finish his last two years. His degree is in Design. I am having a difficult time thinking about him not being here everyday. It's hard letting go of the "baby". He became engaged to an angel named Krista an the 4th of July. She will be graduating from A&M in May and will be a second grade teacher. There does seem to be a theme in the Ballard house. Everyone either is or married to a teacher, even me. Glenn went back to college and became a teacher ten years ago. He teaches at The Brookhill School. He is the Fine Arts Director and the Drama teacher. I am his #1 fan and volunteer. I produce all of his costumes. The numbers really add up because he directs a full lenth play for a dinner theatre in the fall and a f...Expand for more
ull lenth major musical in the spring. Some of those have included Annie Get Your Gun, Sound of Music, Oklahoma, Cinderella, and Fiddler on the Roof. We enjoy the collaberation. For a career, I own a design business named Forever, Rebecca. I produce custom slipcovers, and other decorator items for the home. Tyler has proven to be a great place for this and I stay very busy. I'm very thankful. My volunteer work with the Junior League is also very rewarding. We fund 26 agencies in town and there are always opportunities to stay involved whether it is decorating for a fund raiser or teaching a second grader to read at summer camp. Glenn and I are still very involved with the work of the church. I enjoy taveling with him to hold gospel meetings and mission work. Glenn just returned from his fourth trip to the Phillipines this week. As a family we have been very blessed to visit some wonderful places and even had the opportunity to travel to China. That was life changing. I might include just a few more details about myself. I sew everyday. I love to shop for antiques and junk. Canton is only 45 miles away and I'm a regular. I throw nothing away. Thankfully, Glenn has a prop room and a storage barn at the school. I love all of the Law and Order type shows. I am trying to be a gardener. I only recently became attached to the world via the internet. This is very new to me. I look forward to hearing from you and about you and perhaps seeing you if we have a 30th reunion.
