Shelly's Story
Life
Not sure what happened to the huge Bio I had on here before. Poof it was gone. I can't even remember what I had written. Oh well here I go again.
I have to say 60 wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. I remember thinking 60 was soooo very old back in the day. Now that I am there it doesn't seem that old at all. It seems to be the time you remember the old days and try to look up old friends. I have this saying "I may be getting older but I refuse to grow up". I still enjoy going out and having a good time with family and friends.
Well I have lived all over the planet but have come back to Canada to stay now. I have lived in Germany and UK both but have been to many countries and seen many things. Amsterdam was awesome and the Falkland Islands rocked. Not many people can say they have been to the Falkland Islands.
I have three kids all of them born in a different country. Tyler in 1984 (Canada), Derek in 1993 (Germany) and Justin in 1995 (England).
I was a teacher in the UK (yes laugh I know I did too). But I can't teach here because Canada in all their wisdom has decided my UK qualification is not worth the paper it is written on so I can't teach here. I would love to teach at an alternative high here as I taught in a maximum security prison for 15 to 18 year old murders in UK so feel I would work well with the more troubled youth. I also taught the troubled classes in a UK high school for 2 years. But to do this here would require 3 more years in Uni and I just can't swing that at this time in my life, So for now I just chill at home and rescue dogs.
I have a had miniature Yorkie dog called Titch, a Springer SPaniel named Dexter and a Husky Cross named Dante and a black cat called Salem but they have all went to the rainbows now, .I current have to Puppy mill Mommas I rescued One in a Chocolate Miniature Pincher named Olivia Rose & and a Chinese Crested named Ramona Dawn, I own my own house and am currently looking to ...Expand for more
downsize now that the kids are all gone. I eventually want to move back to the mountains, I miss them so. BC is really where my heart is. Was there on holidays a couple times and didn't want to come home, had a weekend getaway in April to Fairmont which made me miss the mountains even more.
I am happily divorced and enjoy my life. I am back in Medicine Hat now but not forever that's for sure. I truly want to get back to the mountains
Well not much else to say right now I am sure I will find more to say later.
Namaste, Love & Laughter

School
It is weird how life doesn't do as you thought it would. I hated school for most of my school years and where did I go, back to school teaching. I moved schools so often I never really had time to settle into a school before we up rooted and moved again. I have to say Cranbrook was the longest we ever lived anywhere and the most of my school memories are from there. All be it we moved around Cranbrook and I attended two different Jr. Highs at least there was only one high school so I met up with old friends once I got there. In general I wish I had spent more time studying as I found out later
in life I wasn't as stupid as everyone thought I was as I am now a qualified teacher. Stranger things have happened. Life is full of surprises.
College
My college years started later in my life after my eldest was starting school himself. I started in Computer Science then progressed to a teaching qualification. I think I will always be a student as I recently updated my computer qualifications (just took Simply Accounting Levels 2 & 3 and advanced Access). I hope to be going back to University at least part time to get qualified to teach here in Canada. Only time will tell if I manage the last one. They are talking about starting a teaching program here so it might happen.
Workplace
Meh! is all I have to say on this one at the minute. I am so not doing what I really want to be doing at the minute.
