Kris Becker:  

Life Well I have three boys now, Tim (11/13/04), Matt (04/16/08), and Nick (04/20/10). My long-term friend, Sarrah, is the godmother of the older two and will hopefully be the gomother for Nick as well once I make it back to MO. I've been married to Steve Becker of St. Charles, MO since 6/21/03 (met him while I was attending UMR). Thank you workstudy...had me working in a department completely different from my own that found me great friends that then found my husband for me. Since high school I've lived in Rolla, MO (8/96-8/03), Blacksburg, VA (8/03-7/07), Austin, TX (7/07-12/08), and now Houston, TX (12/08-present). We are hoping to move to Katy, TX soon- pretty much a Houston burb. In a couple years I'll be able to say I've lived in TX most of my life which will be nice because I have never considered myself to be from MO. Something about being in Abilene, TX from the ages of 7-12 yrs always made me feel like a Texan even if most of that time was spent on a military base. For thos that are curious: Prior to high school I live in Washington D.C. (birth-summer '83), Brackley and Croughton RAF, England (summer '83- spring '86), and Abilene and Dyess, TX (spring '86- summer '91). Then came the move to Wright City, MO. School I think most school prior to college stinks, particularly in small towns. But I always did well even though I never actually tried and really couldn't stand a majority of the people around me...probably a side effect of having shyness(sp) interpreted as stand-offishness, that and my off sense of humor. College UMR was great...taught the intro level mechanical engineering lab (metal shop) for a few years, met my husband, made a lot of friends that like me just how I am with out any need to act...it's amazing re...Expand for more
