Denise's Story

Hello all! Well, what can I say, I've been busy! After moving back to Indiana I met my husband, John. Some of you might remember him. We were dating and he came with me to the 5 year reunion. We have moved A LOT! We got married in Kentucky, I gave birth to my daughter Rachel in Oklahoma. She was born in 1997. Then in May 1999 we had 73 tornadoes in one day, including an F5. I told my hubby to put in for a transfer, because I couldn't take it anymore. (I know, what a wuss!) He got transferred to WI and we live in IL. I was in advertising after college. They when we moved to OK, I decided I wanted a career that meant more to me than just a paycheck. So back to school, and then I became a nurse. After we moved to WI, I became a stay at home mom until Rachel started Kindergarten. Then back to the workforce. However, the nursing didn't sound that attractive. I gave up my "meaningful" career for one that didn't require me to work nights, weekends or holidays. I fell back on my other degree and starting working in a recording studio in 2002. I have a lot of job titles here. The main two would be accountant (have to get those payroll liabilities to the IRS) and producer. We do audio, as well as video here. I am in charge of all the audio. I spend most of my days producing. But I love this job! It is so fun, constantly changing and always meeting new people. We actually have a pretty cool music scene around here. We are just north of Rockford (home of Cheap Trick). They have a lot of music festivals up here, including "On the Waterfront" every Labor Day weekend. Then our closest "big...Expand for more
" city would be Chicago...need I say more? Wouldn't Mr. Robbins (band teacher) be proud? I have turned into a "soccer mom". Who would have thought it? I am the president of the school PTO (yeah I know...me, right?). My daughter is in a thousand (ok a little exaggeration) different things and constantly keeps me going. Her two main loves are cheerleading and Taekwondo. Playoffs have been this week and she has had two games a day! She is actually really good at Taekwondo and is competing in the US Open this March. Then it's off to the southern Caribbean. YEAH! Let's see, that brings us to interests. Believe it or not, I motorcycle, A LOT. Yes, I have all Harley's. When John and I got married, the biker rally in Sturgis, SD was our honeymoon. We moved to IL, when Rachel was 2, and got a sidecar for the biggest Harley. We have 5 in all. Rachel loves to ride. John put a DVD player in the sidecar and wired headphones into her helmet. After 8 hours of riding, when we want to stop, she begs for another 100 miles so she can finish her movie. She got her first bike when she was 4. Rachel is a wild child on her motorcycle, and I can't bear to watch anymore. So for about one week a year (at least) we ride and camp for my husbands dream vacation. Then for the other week of the year Rachel and I get to choose. We usually end up on a cruise somewhere in the Caribbean with massages booked at the spa. So I guess traveling would be one of my interests. I guess that's enough to "catch you up" for now. Feel free to e-mail me if you want to chat. Take care, and I hope to see you all at the 20th!
