Karen's Story
Life
My life has been great! I'm blessed with 3 lovely children. Haley 9, Noah 7, and Karah 5. I finally found the man of my dreams, my husband, Tony Gevenstuk. I know I was "SHY" in high school but I came out of my shell...BIG TIME. I recently just quit my producing job at CHANNEL 95.5 (WKQI) where I also co-hosted a Saturday Night show (The Saturday Night Bomb) for 2 years with Nick Craig and DJ Mel E Mel. I got to meet amazing people and have the time of my life. I am now working for a fast growing company doing customer service. I am also a "soccer mom - cheer leading mom - and a pee wee football mom." Unlike me, my children are VERY athletic and honor students. My sister, Deana, who graduated the same year as me, recently closed her own business to join the ranks of the same company that I work for. (My husband works there as well) Deana has a loving husband and two beautiful daughters (one can pass for Paris Hilton's twin) I often say its not fair in life... Deana got the good kids. We all know Deana was "The wild one" in high school. Well, her children are two of the smartest, respectful, and most beautiful little girls that I have ever seen. My children on the other hand... well... lets just say I have my hands full. Haley is amazing. She is everything I wish I was back in school. Noah, ...Expand for more
he is um... well... a typical boy. And Karah, OH BOY she is just like me... Sarcastic, opinionated, independent and sassy as ever. I know what you all are thinking, that's not the Karen I knew in H.S. But like I said things change and so did I. I was known as "The B****" on the radio. I'm not afraid to speak my mind and stick up for myself. I let people make fun of me in H.S. because I was the fat girl. I didn't stick up for myself. I sit back now and laugh about how timid I was. I'm still a big girl but I know I'm beautiful inside and out. It took me years to realize that but sure enough... I finally did. I am so happy with my life. I own my home, I drive a new dodge ram pickup with that annoying sticker who Say's that I am a soccer mom, and I surround myself with only positive people. I'm just sorry that I didn't get a chance to make more friends in high school. I regret that it took me so long to really like myself and let other people in. Good luck to everyone in life. Stay strong and be happy!!!!!!!
School
My biggest crush in high school was Mark Paquin. COME ON EVERYONE WASN'T IT OBVIOUS. My heart was broken when I saw him kissing Tanya (I cant remember her last name) I sit back now and laugh... I was sooooo shy and such a loner. Oh well.... I'm happy now with my hubby and family.
