Heidi Mobley:  

Life Hi Kids, So much has happened since high school--some bad, some good, but happy to be alive! I got married in 1989 and started a family the next year. We spent some time in Cleveland and moved to a very small town in SE Ohio after my husband's parents retired and moved here in 1998, as it was my husband's father's childhood home he wanted to come back to. We bought a home here, and although it is out in the country (and I mean OUT IN THE COUNTRY) --everything is 30 minutes from us---it is nice to have the small town experience. Our children attend school here in Beallsville (176 miles SE from C-town, I-77 South to I-70 East, off at 800 South hang a right and follow for 22 miles, hang a left at the flashing yellow light and drive 7 more miles down SR 145 and you'll come into town, the high school on your right side--our address is 52718 ohio avenue!) in a K-12 school. We have a bank, post office, gas station, Convenient Food Mart, hardware store, 5 churches, consignment shops, hairdressers, craft and candle store, funeral parlor and TWO carwashes!! The only thing that is missing is the diversity of the city. I miss the different people and cultures and have had to educate folks down here on what life in the city is like! Most don't have a favorable opinion about "city folk" and there is some ignorance about some things, but luckily I was raised in a great big melting pot and consider myself very fortunate to have been able to make the acquaintance of people of color and a rich, vibrant, amazing culture! The city and all my people are never far from my mind. When I do come up, I feel like I am home the closer I get to Fleet Avenue. Then up pops Jacobs Field and I am truly home. My husband works as a deputy at our local sheriff's office, I am a nurse, an LPN. I am thinking very hard about continuing my education ...Expand for more
