Went to take the testing and passed in the top third for Certified medical Assistant. Worked for Northeast Medical Center (which is now CMC Northeast Medical Center) since 1981 except for a couple of years I worked for a pediatrian office and a couple of months at a nephorogy ( not my thing). I left the ICU/ER when the girls got older to work at doctors offices so I would not have to work on christmas day and sundays so I could be at church and home with them.I divorced in 1995. remarried in 1998 to Rodger Hughes , who is in the National guard army and a police officer. Both my girls went to colleige, oldest- music education teacher and is getting married in June,2009. The youngest- social work,signlanguage, got married March of 2007 to a sheiff deputy( keeping it in the family) and they have a 7 month old baby girl (my first grandbaby- of course the prettest and best ever).

My family and friends thought that was a great idea. As it turns out, they were right. I enjoy riding the 4 wheeler and motorcycle ,reading a good book, riding the horses, helping others and going to the beach The wildest thing I can remember these days I ever done in school was either when I was 16, my best friends brother who was a little wild at the time was giving me a hard time , it was my 16th b-day and they were giving me a sweet 16 and never been kiss and he taught me how to do hickeys.Second was when Barbara and I got into a bar in Rockingham and we were not 18 ( so I could see a guy Nickey I was Crazzy about) The owner gave us something where you lick salt from your hand then take a shot. Our first time drinking anything. If I'm going to work , I need to have mountain dew, chocolate, and music to be able to deal with the day-to-day. My grandfather was my hero. He had a very hard life.
