Janette's Story
I have been married for almost 25 years to Dan O'Brien. We have two beautiful children, Kyle, age 23 and Maura age 20. We live in Evergreen, CO. I received my teaching certificate in 1990 from Metro State University and stayed home with my children for 15 years.
I tutored students in my home, which lead me to home school both Kyle and Maura while I also took care of my aging mother-in-law for ten years.
When we decided to travel around the United States as a family band, we were gone for five years. We played old-time, Classic Country, and Bluegrass music. We were "The O'Brien Family Band". My husband, Dan, wrote our songs, played guitar and sang lead and harmony vocals. I played the bass and sang harmony vocals, built our website and promoted and booked our band.

four CDs.
Kyle wanted to experience high school, so we came back home and he started public school in tenth grade. He went on to graduate high school and received a grant to attend the University of San Francisco studying politics. He graduated from USF last May. Kyle spent his junior year at Oxford University in Oxford, England. We were lucky enough to go visit him for Christmas with Maura which was a fun family adventure.
Maura, my daughter started public school in eighth grade. She graduated from Evergreen High School and is now running cross country, as well as indoor and outdoor track on scholarship at Adams State University in Alamosa, CO. She is in her sophomore year studying government.
When my son went to high school, I started working on my Masters Degree in Deaf Education. I am currently a teacher for the deaf in Aurora and make a long commute each day to work, but I love my job. I would enjoy hearing from my former classmates.
