Julie's Story
Life
Right now I live in Beaverton with my husband Dave & almost 4 yr old daughter Delaney. We have a chocolate lab, Jessie. I stay home with my daughter & have a small business designing announcements & invitations. I'm looking forward to doing more work on the house we moved into at the end of last summer. We are hoping to hang out on a new deck this summer & enjoy our larger yard. No big trips planned this summer, just paying off house stuff!
School
I think high school was fun, I loved being involved in so many things & knowing so many people. But I would let my hair down more & not be so serious if I had it to do again!
College
College was awesome! I had great friends & did well in school. But unlike high school I decided to concentrate more on my social life. It did get me into trouble from time to time, but boy it was fun! Also I became a diehard Duck fan at school and met my husband at a game. Now we have season tickets, go to most of the bowl games (when we have them...Expand for more
....) and take our daughter to as many as we can. I also learned to be a lot more tolerant of different people than I was before living in Eugene for 4 yrs. My best friends are people I met my first week in the dorms, can't say enough good things about the UofO.
Workplace
Jobs....I always wanted to work in an ad agency, but I guess I gradutated at a bad time for that! My degree was in public relations, but I ended up in the real estate industry. I worked for a couple of title companies and one mortgage company, before deciding that working with other people's money definitely is not for me. I also learned that being an escrow officer is a very difficult/stressful job and I'd rather not have that job again! I have a very small business of my own after being laid off in the real estate industry 3 times. I enjoy designing things for people and hope that I can build it into a bigger business some day. But right now I am very lucky to do it as a sideline while I stay home with my daughter.
