Valerie's Story
I hope every one remembers me as the quiet beach bum! I stopped all over Padre Island.
I always loved Padre Island am I feel fortunate that I was raised in a small tight-knit community that rested on the edge of the Gulf Coast.
The wildest things I ever did was hang out at the Vicktels (sp?) house. They had a huge yard in the outskirts of FB and we had a blast, I learned what "Jungle Juice" was!LOL (yuk!)
Since my life in FB, I have lived in the coast of North Carolina as well as the Mississippi Gulf Coast. I think MS was my favorite, although NC's beaches have beautiful shells.
I would love to see Wendy Tait-Bishop again. She was definitely my BFF. Unfortunately my other friends, Denise O'Brien and Brenda Cunningham are no longer with us.
I didn't have many favorite teachers, but Mr. Trudeau stands out in my mind. He was very understanding and had a great sense of integrity that I admire. I think he's the principal now? If he is, he deserves the honor.
My first crush in high school was Tripp Howse! Yes, tha...Expand for more
t skinny little blonde surfer guy! I think it was because he had cool vampire cuspids! Oh, the twinkling blue eyes were an asset too.
Since those FB days I have had 3 beautiful, exceptionally talented and intellengent children. I had 2 girls and then a boy. I'm so proud of them!With children set aside, if I had a do over, then it would be my choice of marriage. I love the husband I have now and wish that we had met when we were younger. We married May 28th 2004. He lived here, in Arizona while I stormed the beaches of PI.
If I were to attend a highschool reuniion I think my classmates would find that I am much more outspoken now then I was in highschool.
I also founded a homeschool organization on Camp LeJeune Marine Corp Base. You can visit it at
echo-onlow.org. Although my children are grown, I'm a huge advocate for families having educational choices.
I'm living in Phoenix, AZ now. It's very different going from beaches to deserts. I have to admit I prefer the beach! Someday I will make my way back! :O)
