Shari's Story
Life
After graduating I moved to the Eastside (of Kalamazoo). I obtained a degree in nursing which I used for over 10 years before being given the opportunity to stay home with my children and devote quality time to them, quite an accomplishment in itself as their father and I were divorced by then. When they were old enough to not want mom around so much, I reentered the work force in the customer service field, and most recently sales/management, which I totally enjoy!! I am currently the manager of the garden department at Home Depot here in McDonough. We moved to Georgia in October,2003 to be closer to my brother and his wife, as well as my parents who are in Florida ( for now- trying to sell to move here with us).

precious granddaughter. She lights up my day every day with all her new "tricks" and accomplishments! She is now 3 1/2 years old, and is wise beyond her years, as was her mother at that age. She is the light of my life and makes me smile daily! I am about to be a grandma again, due in Feb. 2010.
I am proud to say that every thing I have today I have accomplished on my own, with the emotional support of my family. It is trully difficult to raise a family as a single woman without support of the childrens' father. But it has been rewarding in every sense of the word.. I wouldn't change a thing.
I have recently found someone who makes me smile daily. :)
I do not miss the snow (well maybe on Christmas Eve), or the cold!! It may get below freezing at night in January, but by noon it's no colder than 40's here in Georgia. I still find it hard to wear a coat in the winter most of the time.
