Chris's Story
I thought I should update my profile as it was extremely outdated. Don (husband) and I continue to travel. Don retired from American Airlines and took a job that that allows him to work remotely. Still in Finance, just in healthcare for a major medical corporation.
I am now in the Texas Hill Country in what is called the Hill Country AVA helping my best friends run their family vineyard. Yes, we have over 100 Vineyards, Wineries, or tasting rooms in just this area. We have been recognized both nationally and internationally.
We just spent Christmas and New Years at our friends condo in Park Cities. There is something to be said about getting old. Thankfully, there place allows you to ski out their garage and right to the new gondola.
Our big trip for 2025 was a land/cruise 14 day trip through Spain and Portugal. We visited some incredible wineries and toured some fabulous places.
This years trips will be another trip to Park City, and Australia and Park City over the 2026 h...Expand for more
olidays again.
We have started talking about Don's retirement and what that looks like. We have decided to keep a place close to the vineyard and most likely buy a place in Park City, Chicago, or Ann Arbor.
I continue to deal with some health issues, however I just completed surgery on my nose/sinuses. My hip replacement is on the schedule and then I should be good to go for ski season over the 2026 holidays.
I never dreamed that I would have been blessed with the life I have had. I recently said my final good bye to a dear friend who changed my life many years ago. Dallas was dealing with the AIDS crisis and he set a path in motion that allowed to the opportunity to do case management for people with HIV/AIDS. Serve on the board of directors for several national, state, and local boards. Then taking on a role funded by HRSA working with at risk you. My husband and I just celebrated our 27th anniversary.
Life is good, I am grateful for all the opportunities I have been given.
