Tammy Turner:  

Life My Spouse That's kind of a funny story! I was sitting in Spanish Class in 1986 with Mr. Swisher teaching and was assigned to be partners with Nathan. He conveniently forgot my book every day for the next year in Spanish and met Nathan Turner. We went out as friends a few times as friends but I wasn't interested. I was in a relationship. It wasn't until I was out of school that I noticed him in my Rolodex and called him. He had moved to Florida. I called him up and we had a long distance friendship that blossomed into a love affair. We dated for a year long distance and then he asked me to marry him. I moved to Florida to be closer to him and get to know him in person. After a year of being there, we both moved back to Colorado. At that time the economy of Colorado was bad. Nathan couldn't find a job and so he left for the Bahamas to work on a government site on Andros Island doing missile testing! That did the trick. He moved back 1 1/2 years after that and I said marry me now or lose me forever. We were married 6 months later! My Pets When we were in Florida the neighbors in the next building had a get-together. When I got there everyone was stoned and blowing smoke up a kittens nose. I took that kitten, put ten bucks on the table with a note and kept him. His name is Pooter. Pooter recently died. He was 23. Then came Macy Mae the dog. I was railroaded into going to the Puppy Rescue and of course, I couldn't resist. She's a Border Collie mix. In 2013 she is 13 Then came the fish. Her name is Velvet Sun Sun lovingly named by our daughter. Update...Velvet has since died! 2008 We recently added two little guys. We have two Sugar Gliders. Clea and Skye are now our new babies. 2013 Argos the Black Lab puppy has been added to the brood. Argos is energetic and a bit nuts! 2013 Macy Mae died. 2015 Izzy is our new addition and she is deaf and beautiful! My Kids Nathan and I are blessed to have our daughter Avrial. We call her Avy! We were told we would never have children. She is our gift wrapped up in a little package. I gave birth to her 4 days before our 10-year reunion! I had only been out of the hospital two days before the first night out. She's a little spitfire. I like that. When I was pregnant with her someone said to pray for what you want in your child. I felt selfish doing this but I did it anyway. The prayer was simple. I want a good kid with a little zip and she's all that! UPDATE She is now 21 years old in 2018 and is getting married in July 2019!! We had another blessing in our lives. Rennick (Mac) was born July 2002. He is a great little guy! He is happy go lucky and fun with a ton of energy! Boys are definitely different!!!! Our children are as different as night and day! We have added four exchange students to the mix. Chloe, Stella, Lucy, and Samuel. My Job 1997-2005I am a Domestic Goddess....mostly!! Just kidding. I stay home with our children! I love it! I can't imagine doing anything different! 2005 Recently, I started a venture with my family doing a family business called EDCOR doing ACLS, BLS, Medication Courses...etc. 2013 I am now a part owner of our little family business that I helped within 2006.
