Jamie's Story
Life
Graduated from Univ of Missouri in 1998, picked up and moved to Seattle the next day. Met and married (eloped 10 weeks later)an incredible guy while working on a nuculear submarine Base. His name is Mike and we have been married for over 7 years!! We moved to Rhode Island 6 years ago with our two dogs, Baily and Murphy. I work as an event planner and Fund-Raiser, Mike is a computer Network Engineer. The beaches here are amazing, we spend all our free time bumming on the beach. New Things: We had our first child, a boy, 4/26/02. An amazing, silly, beautiful, sweet guy named Adam Ryan McKanna. He is4 years old and he gets cooler by the minute. Probably the funniest kid I have ever met. Being a mom is insanely better than I could have ever expected. LIFE IS GOOD! Very excited, we have another little sweetboy born 3/2/04. We named him Noah Brady McKanna. He is by far the goofiest baby ever created. He laughs all day long, makes muscles, chases his brother and gives the greatest hugs and kisses I have known! The boys get along great...I never sleep....And I love it. The NOW photo is of the boys being goofy and the other of me
Shout out to my best friend of 25 years now, Jenny Fishman! She is happily married and has the cutest baby girl named Bella Rose, my god-daughter! She is a doll and her mom is still my BFF (Funny)
I would not be who I am today without this lifelong friendship Fishman and I started on the steps outside of Ms Pacchetti's first grade classroom at Braeside back in 81'!
Hope everyone is good and perhaps I will come home one day and see many of you
New Nov 05, moving to Charleston, SC this month with the family! Very excited to have a mild winter!

School
Free Period, Study Hall, Double Period Lunch, Parking Tickets, Avoiding Fabio, Denny's, Park Avenue Beach, Dean's Office, Jock Hall, Adapted PE, Cafetaria Cheese Fries, Mr Heronomous, Saturday morning Detention, that old white haired, female, mean ass gym teacher, Ms Gifford? I Forget her name. Jenny Fishman calling me out of school at least twice a week because she was late to pick me up and then we would go to the beach and chill out.
College
Party Party Party! What else? I honestly do not remember half the classes on my transcripts. Did I really take all those Child Development Courses? Wish I had paid a little more attention now! I loved Mizzou. I loved the basketball games and I loved Happy Hour and nightly drink specials! I have lived in many places, and none compare to Columbia's night life. I can probably still tell you the bar/club line up for each night of the week along with their each bar's drink specials and happy hour deals. Sick huh? Could not tell you one name of any teacher I had while in school for 5 1/2 years. That's Mizzou for you!
Shout out to my Tri-Rho sisters. I love you all and am so proud we are all still in touch and close. Baily will rise again :)
Workplace
I have an amazing job. I work for the United Way of Rhode Island, an amazing Partner in the state of Rhode Island Health and Human Services Community. I am a Development Office and I work out of my house on Tuesday's and Thursday's and in the main office on Wednesday's. I travel around the state and help raise money for the Community of Rhode Island. Lots of Public Speaking and working with the non-profit community in Rhode Island. Very family friendly job and at the same time very rewarding! Plus, I work Tue-Thur and ALWAYS have 4 day weekends! My dream come true!
