Toni's Story

I hope old friends remember me as a nice, funny and out-going person. Always having fun and being a shoulder to cry on for my friends. Most all, hope I am remembered. I always wanted to be a lawyer when I grew up. My family and friends thought that was a great idea. As it turns out, they were wrong. I made a much better CEO. I like to spend time on the internet, watching life time network or reading. The wildest think I ever did why in school was cutting class and hanging out at the park across from the high school. This was also next to the state patrol office, wild I say. If I'm going to work somewhere, I need to have coffee, good staff, and total control to be able to deal with the day-to-day. My family is my hero, I have a great husband who supports me in anything that I do, I have great children who thinks I am their hero, and I am still cool. The inspire me each day, they give me the strength that I need to be a success in my life each day. I have lived in many states and in Korea due to be in the military. I have spent most of my life living in a small town call Ray City GA, I have been there for about 11 years and I love it. I have made most of my live moves based on military need and family choice. The one person from my past who I'd most like to see again is Ron Bourne, because I miss him most and would like to know that he is doing well in his life. Hope he is still serving the Air Force proud. . No obsessions outside of work. I am obsessed with my current position as CEO of my own company. It takes a lot of work and time, so that's my obsession for the past few years.. My biggest surprise is life is having my two wonderful children, who would know that my children would complete my life so much. I never knew how much I wanted to be a mother until they were born and that was the most amazing thing that ever happened to me. I am so surprised that no matter what you keep loving them more each day. If I could improve my home, I'd remodel my dining room and add on a bedroom. My dream home would be my current home since we are in the middle of remodeling it and adding on all the rooms that I ever dreamed of and the kids get to design their own area in our home. . I have learned to be patient and to understand that each of us are individuals and should be allowed to express who we are. Children are not any different then we are when it comes to wanting to express who they are and having a voice. I can't really remember many of my teachers, guess...Expand for more
that's ok for the 40 year olds, not sure who I would like to see again. If I won $100 million, I'd give 10% of it to Church and other non-profits, then spend the rest on investments, family and present company. I never lived in a dorm in college but did live in a dorm during my military career. I also pledged AKA in college which was a great decision for me. I had a lot of fun in college but party far less than traditional college kids due to my having career plans that required my attention. I would be exactly where I am with my family. I am truly happy right now with all aspects of my life, I would like a little bit more downtime to enjoy it. It's all good with my family. My current age is 40. When I was 12, I thought that people my age now would be boring. I was so completely wrong. Currently I am CEO of my own company, I have 100 employee within the state of Georgia and my aspirations have been realized. I would like to continue to grow my business and maybe branch out in Florida. I think my first crush is still living in our hometown, don't know anything else about him. My best friend would tell you I'm friendly, dependable and crazy, but people who don't know me very well would probably describe me as all business and way too serious. I dressed very conservative, all business. No more neon pink or lime pants. The weirdest job i ever had was working in a factory, it was werid because it was all military wives and boy were they angry, smile. I share my home with my husband and two children, oh I forgot our dog preccious, which I find amazing. No trophies on my mantel except all the kids trophies for everything they do. Biggest victory for me was a reward my son gave me on 5/22/09, he gave me a bible and it was presented to me for being the best mom in the world, pretty amazing for a 13 year old. Wouldn't do anything over, everything is perfect. In 10 years, I hope to be retired. I'm going to get there by putting in the time now on my company and investing in my children.. We all were in band together and just all liked to laugh about everything. Traci and I have remained best friends after over 25 years, think it really because we both are so real. Don't think there would be a lot of surprises, I am me. My first job was at JC Penney's , where I got paid 5.25 per hour to be a cashier. What I remember most about it is All the great discounts and having my own money and dressing up. I will never forget the death of my father when I was 14.
