Ginger's Story
Life
HI Everyone. This is one of my goals this year - to find old friends and rekindle friendships.
This year is our 25th year class reunion and my hope is to reach every single person in our class and hope they all attend!!
I have changed careers and YES!!!, I finally have found the job of my dreams! I am a yearbook sales representative for Herff Jones Yearbooks in KY. I am based in Lexington, Ky, but I have 60+ counties. I get to teach students, work in the schools, be creative and sell. I couldn't have created a more perfect position for me. I started in March 2007. I was the top sales person in my class and region my first year! I am 100% commission and have no cap on my income. I am going to be a six figure earner in no time!! I need to be - I have two kids at UK. I just turn over my paycheck for tuition!! ha ha I am very blessed to love my job!! God sent this one to me - I know!
I have been married since Oct. 1986 to my college sweetheart - Mike Thompson (met at Marshall University). He is 10 years older - so yes, as I turned that dreaded 40, he turned 50!! We have a good laugh at it. He works as a Marketing Director for Valvoline - Ashland, Inc. in Lexington, KY. We have three wonderful children - Lyndsay 21, Josh 19, and Hunter 14. If you remember anything about me, you know that I tend to "mother"...Expand for more
people and want to take care of everything, so actually I have around 500 kids - all of my kid's friends and the student I teach yearbook-ing! ha ha
If I can say anything that has changed about myself, I would say that my heart has grown and I love more.
I lost my dad in 1996, my mom in 2001 and my beloved brother Jimmy (JR) in 2003. I miss them with all my heart, but they continue to live through me and my family. We talk about them all the time. My family that is still around Boyd Co. is my sister-in-law Debbie (Jimmy's wife), and Bobby and Hannah (their kids), my brother Larry, his wife Tammy (Hennecke - yes he married one of our alumnus!!), Sabrina, Chelsea and Kenner (their kids), and my brother Bryan, his ex-wife Vickie and Breanna (their child).
I still keep up with quite a few friends from high school and I love them very much. Everytime I see someone from school, I am amazed at how easy it is to fall back into the youth of yesterday and laugh and hug each other. My love for "my school family" is still there and makes me have comfort and warmth from the memories.
I would love to reach every single person from high school and make our 25th Reunion the best. Please email me with your info as well as anyone elses that you have. Email me at ginger1983bchs at aol dot com.
Thanks! I miss you all.
Love,
Ginger
