Janet's Story
Life
I am clean and sober and very active in recovery. My sobriety is first and formeost in my life. I am in a committed relationship with a wonderful man who realized I was beautiful inside and out! We have had our struggles, but we continue to keep on keepin' on. We enjoy riding Harley's (his) and going camping, bike riding, swimming, I work out, but not as much as I should. We also like to go to the casino, (he spends way more than I do though)! I love to shop,and go to garage sales. I never know when I am going to find that perfect "treasure". I do attend church and go to bible study, but I am more spiritual than religous. Yes, I do believe in GOD and with him, everything is possible!
If there is anything I could change about being in high school, I wished I would've applied myself and focused on my education instead of which party I was going to go to, and who would be there, on Friday night! I will never forget the games, dances and hangin out with friends, those are memories I will always cherish.
I learned my lesson when raising my daughter, Brittney, I made sure education was of utmost importance! Yes, I was a very strict MOM, but also fun and was very involved in every activity I could while Brittney was in school. She was in so many; dance/ drill. drama, vilolin, student government, cheer, gymnastics, Whew! I am glad I only had one child!
She never ceased to amaze me, even with all the dysfuncton, she held it all together! She went to Green River Comm. College and then to Central Wash. University. She received 2 degrees, one in Early Childhoood Education, and one in Elementary Education. She has taught 5th grade for one year, and is now teaching 3rd! I also have a beautuful, smart, loving, grandaughter, Allyson who is the love of my life. She is 3 years old and told me yesteyday that MOMMY had a baby in her tummy, and she will be a big sister by Easter! When she says, "I love you Gr...Expand for more
amma", I want to melt!
I spend alot of time with my Mother who has been the only constant in my life! She is now 81 years young and I love her more than life itself. I see her once a week, and we go out to eat and shop. There are also functions at the retirement home where she resides. I see my Bro and Sis when ever I can, mostly holiday's though! I wish it were more, but we are all so busy. At least they are not worrying about me the way they all did for so long. We are close, and family is important to me.
My Job
I am an Recruiter/ Sales Assistant for an Insurance company. I love my job. I have been there for 1-1/2 yrs. and hopefully will retire there! I have done many things in my life, but I always end up in an office. I know it was just meant to be! I am a people person, and I go above and beyond to support everyone! with so many people out of work, I am very grateful to be working at all! I am getting ready to go to Texas next month for training. I want to advance and grow with this comopany.
I am pursuing my education as well. I think I might take Business Administration, even though I have many years of experience, I DO NOT have a degree! It does make a difference. If not anything, I will feel much better about ME! I have many friends that have gone back to school in their 40's and they have all been an inspiration to me. I realize that you can never have too much education.
I have recently been in contact with a few friends from high school, (thanks Facebook!) and I am very excited about getting together and talking aobut the "Old Days" I feel so blessed and eternally grateful for my life and I cannot wait to see everyone at the reunion!
I always wanted to be a Secreatry when I grew up. My family and friends thought that was a great idea. As it turns out, they were right.
