It's hard to believe it has been 20 years since we graduated from
LAHS! It has been a lot of fun finding out what everyone has done since
graduation!
After high school I headed off to UNM. That February, my parents
relocated to Raleigh, North Carolina. I went to NC that summer to work
and decided to stay and transfer to North Carolina State in Raleigh. Go
Wolfpack!! Moving to the southeast was like moving to a foreign country.
I adapted though and really began to love NC. I met my husband Jason in
the summer of 1989 through the college group at the church I was
attending. We were married in 1991. After I graduated with a degree in
finance, we moved Greenwood, South Carolina with Jason's job. I worked
in banking until the birth of our first daughter Bailey in 1994. After
Bailey was born I couldn't stand to go back to work and became a stay at
home mom. We moved back to Greensboro, North Carolina in 1995 with my
husband's job and have been here ever since. We were blessed with our
second daughter, Kendall, in 1996, and our son Andrew was born in 1999.
I finally reentered the work force part time in December of 2005. I
went back to work for a national builder in the accounts payables dept.
After several months of that I decided that job wasn't for me and I
began working this fall as a 4 yr old preschool teacher. I love it!
God has truly blessed my life with a great Christian husband and
three healthy children. We stay very busy with all of our kids sports
and activities, and we love to watch and support them. We are always at
karate, basketball, baseball, girl scouts or some band activity. We are
also very active at our church. Jason and I head up a children's
ministry for K-12 grade. We live half way between the beach and the
mountains and love to go to both when we can. Camping in the heat of NC
summers is a lot different than camping in NM , but we enjoy it. My
parents have retired on a lake about 2 hours from us, so we try and
get to the lake as often as possible too.
I still have a sister in Espanola and try to get back to New Mexico
every 2-3 years. I still miss the mountains of NM and consider it home.
I look forward to seeing you all at the reunion!
