Tracy Silvis:  

Life Where does one start with their 'Life Biography?' I was born, I lived and one day I may die (God and I are still working on that one). I've been blessed to have lived in several different places, met many different people and experienced things that many may never even dream of experiencing. But, enough of the glossing over. I've lived in New Orleans for the past year, which is a great city to live in if you can get past the mosquitoes, hurricanes and stifling humidity. It is a city rich in history, culture and of course, partying and drinking. The French Quarter, Marie Laveau, Antiques along St Charles and of course, Mardi Gras more than makes up for 3 previous mentioned items. I work for Cox Communications as a Telecommunications Engineer, which is a far sight from the lawyer I had always thought I was going to be. One can never know what the tides will bring as we move through the years of our life. I am in a magnificient relationship with someone whom I love and am loved by. We hope to begin construction on a house within the next year - just in time for my 30th birthday. I figure I should own a house by then. Maybe then, I'll think about children, but right now; there's too much in the Crescent City to enjoy and too much of my life I want to enjoy before completely settling down. I'm too young and the years pass so quickly and I've still got a long list of things I want to see and do before I get to that point. **Addendum** 12/12/03 Ok, so, I no longer literally live in New Orleans (even though I pay for everything as though I live there). I also no longer work for Cox Communications. No loss there. Instead, I find myself in this place called Maidenhead, which just happens to be about 25 miles west of London - as in England. I've been here since the end of Oct. Best time of the year really in my opinion - lovely weather. Actually reminds me a bit of Washingtonian winters. 'Nuff said. I work as a Consultant to a large Wireless Telecommunications Company in an attempt to connect the UK functionalities to their Italian operations. I certainly miss things American, but it isn't too bad living in Europe and being paid for it, as well. Please see my College Section on Brit words to keep in mind - in case you ever travel to the UK. **Update 03/21/08** Ok, so I am back in Louisiana. Been here since Oct 2005. I would've been here in Sept 05, but a little feisty storm named Katrina delayed that. Long story short, I was working contract in Plano, TX and I was supposed to be back in Louisiana by Labor Day and then all hell broke loose on Aug 29, 2005. I had to wait a couple of months. Lucky me, I finally bought that house I was talking about before - VERY lucky, as we had signed the papers just a mere three weeks before the storm. No damage - we were smart and bought the house on the 'good' side of Lake Pontchartrain. So, here I've been. I work (until I hit the powerball!), I go to school to finish that long-awaited masters, and I do whatever I do in my free time. I personally think classmates.com suck - I hate having to pay to see who signs the stupid guestbook. I prefer myspace for that - silly place, but nice to keep in touch with people without really keeping in touch. Apparently, I can't actually paste websites - how lame.
