Valerie Laam:  

Hi everyone....See below for updates!! Also, please visit my Facebook page (Valerie Androus Laam). I've been married twice, once at 20, and once at 33. Still married to the 2nd one, my dear Steve. I have three boys from my first marriage, Matthew, Jonathan, and Michael, and Steve had one daugher, Angie (deceased). We combined forces in 1987, and have enjoyed life much ever since. We have 10 grandchildren, 10 ggrandchildren, and were both very busy with our careers over the years. I worked for State Parks as a Manager (now retired), and Steve was a Stationary Engineer at the Dept. of Justice (now retired). I worked part time at DPR's Mobile Equipment Warehouse, helping out with our statewide fleet management, but just recently retired from that as well. We've been very lucky in love and family, and truly enjoy what life has to offer. We owned our little home in Tahoe Park (Sacramento), and recently sold it and bought a mountain home in Pollock Pines. We live a simple and peaceful life. Our kids are all grown, and live in WA, Idaho, Placerville, and Sacramento, so we get to go on a lot of trips to visit. We currently have two dogs Sirius The Dog Star, and Vegas. We have had many beloved pets over the years that have brought us much joy! We had chickens for years, but lost them during the Caldor Fire in 2021. High school was not the greatest time for me, my dad was very sick the whole time with cancer, and died when I was 19. However, everything afterward has been wonderful and worth every minute! Best wishes to you all, hope to hear back from some of you :) - Enjoy...Expand for more
