Bette's Story
Life
My husband Art and I have married for 27 years. We have lived in Hoffman Estates, Illinois since 1993. We have two sons, Christopher, 26, and David, 20. Chris is a full time firefighter/paramedic and lives on his own in his own home. Chris also was part of the Schaumburg Flyers Baseball Team as one of their catchers for the 2006 season and part of the 2005 season. On his days off from the FD he is a hitting and fielding instructor at an indoor baseball facility and coaches a 13 yr. old travel team.
David graduated from Conant H.S. and is presently at Harper College. He will be moving on to another college in the fall of 2009 with a major in History minoring in Education with a hope someday of teaching High School history.
I was thinking back to Sophmore year when Brad Goodman tranferred to ELHS. I asked what high school he transferred from. He said "Conant High School" I said "Where and what is Conant HS?" He proceed to say James B. COnant High School in Hoffman Estates. Who could have imagined that many years later my own children would go to the same high school that I had no idea where it was. (After all, I never adventured past Irving Park, River Road, etc!) Who knew where Hoffman Estates was in 1977???
I returned to work full time because staying at home is just not me now that my "k...Expand for more
ids" are adults. I went back to my old position as an Executive Secretary for the owners of a large HVAC engineering company that I worked for previously.
We couldn't be prouder of our boys and think that we are lucky to have great kids! I absolutely love the closeness we have as a family and treasure all the moments and memories we have as family....Our kids are truly our best friends !
We, as a family, enjoy spring skiing out west in Lake Tahoe, Nevada and have been doing this for many years. We spend many nights sitting in our hot tub just relaxing and talking, quiet time as a couple and not "mom & dad". Once a year we do spring training in Arizona to see our beloved White Sox. I am a die hard Sox fan, and Notre Dame football fan. In the summer I bleed Black and White, and in the fall, Blue and Gold for the Irish! Of course I am a Bears Fan too ! No cubs for this gal!
Even though I got married young and started my family young and probably missed out on what most young people do in their early 20's, I would never ever change anything then to now! I have been blessed with a great family and am thankful for what I have.
I can't beleive how fast the time goes.....life goes by way too quickly. So enjoy yourself and enjoy each day. We all know that in a moment our lives can change forever.
