Terri's Story
Life
Currently happy and healthy. Trying to live a good christian life. Married to Michael, we have three daughters and one son, Melinda Kathleen (25), Chelsea Suzette (22), Alexandria Nicole (17), and Kamron Cade (6).
I am currently in business with my father-in-law - he is a Land Developer and we are currently building a resort property here in Branson, Mo. I am a Certified Trainer and have spent the last twelve years as a Human Resources Director, managing 350+ employees with payroll and benefits. In Texas, I was mainly involved with large hotel chains like Marriott, Hilton, Embassy Suites as their HR Director. I love working with people. Recruiting, interviewing, everything right down to terminating. I just love it! Payroll and Insurance are included and I have stayed very busy with my positions. Now in Mo., I assist my father-in-law with his company as his office manager. I love it because I can make my own hours and it allows me the time to take and pick up my kids at school. Plus, no more having to be in by 9am mornings!!! No overtime, and the stock perks aren't too bad either.
I love my animals, three cats, a dog, and two parakeets. I walk for enjoyment, work out everyday, and go to church. I am very close with my family and will do anything for them. Have two brothers, Gary and Kyle, nine...Expand for more
nieces and nephews, aunts, uncles and plenty of cousins. All of them are still in Texas, but I have close contact with them. I come to Texas every two-three months because of my daughters and grandchildren. I have three grandaughters from my oldest daughter, Mindy. They are Lexi (4), Aubrey (3) and Leigha (2), yes Mindy stayed quite busy for several years!! But they are all a blessing!
I miss Texas terribly because I have never lived anywhere else until now. Branson is quite a culture shock from Dallas! I have to come home often, otherwise I start have Texas withdrawals!! Believe it or not, I actually miss traffic and freeways!! 635, 35 and 75 are a must when I come home. Around here, it's two lane highways and lots of country and mountains. It's really beautiful here, but I love being in the "city" again!!
I drive a 2006 Jeep Liberty Renegade 4 x 4 in Blue and Silver (Dallas Cowboy colors, of course). All in all, have a blessed life.
