I moved from the South Bay in 1976 to Orange county in the city of Orange. I got married to my first husband. I havent live anywhere else since then. I have visited Oregon, Washington, Hawaii, Arizona, Florida, and Nevada. I guess since i havent traveled much I think if I could live anywhere it would have to be tropical and beachy.
We have Lindsey dog, Moxie, she is adorable. We have an Amazon Grey Parrot named Frankie, 2 turtles, Dozer and Digger,. 2 bunnies Pewter and Shamu, we also have an aviary filled with finches,parakeets and cockateils. quite a menagerie
I am a full time Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor working in a residential treatment program for women. I am enrolled in community college attempting to get my AA for now, with the intention of going on to my BA and Masters (if I live that long) my major is sociology and right now i am looking forward to Social Work of some kind. My emphasis will continue to be drug and alcohol rehab with women
Nothing official. But the rewards of being a parent paid off with 5 great grandkids.
Not too exciting. Got married, moved to O.C. Became a mother, got divorced, played single mom for a while. Stan, came back into my life right before our 20th reunion and we bought our house and were married in October of 94.I worked at the same job for over 25 years and then I tried a couple other things. I found myself working in a treatment center for women and loving it. I became certified and have been counseling for about 5 years now. A couple of years ago i finally got the courage to go to college, so afraid of failing. I love being in the classroom, even if i am older than most of my teachers so far. We have a little r.v and we like to go on weekend trips.
We havent done much traveling. We take a family vacation every year to Catalina, something i started when my kids were younger. Now my grandkids are going as well. It is a great tradition. One of our favorite trips was taking Mackenzie and Kennedy in the rv to the Grand Canyon and Sedona. It was so much fun with them and we made great memories. I have been to Hawaii and hope to take Stan some day. maybe for our 20th who knows.
Cindy Lando and I stayed in touch until her passing and i miss her alot. I have spoken to some old friends but havent nurtured any old relationships. Oh yeah, except Stan of course. When I moved to O.C. I kinda lost touch. After our 10 year i was quite melancholy, thinking how strange it was that I thought I was so close to some people and it didnt seem they felt the same. I also realized I Knew alot of people but not many knew me. I love High School, i was a little to shy to be as involved as I wanted to be, so i kinda observed on the fringes.
Some things that really stand out are:ditching school and going to the beach with Debbie, Ronnie, Larry,Steve, Dean etc. The Shuffle Concert. Debbie and I ran for Miss Christmas Carol, i was so shy i cannot believe i did that and couldnt even bring myself to look at the results. Mr. Vegher. Mrs Cunningham. Jeff Stone in our co-ed P.E. class. Laying on the floor at Debbies house listening to Tapestry until we knew every word of every song. I had a mad crush on Stan but he always had a very pretty girl friend. Stan and Terri, Me and Ronnie going to the free clinic to get birth control pills. Patti Yeager and gymnastics. Mostly memories of the beach.
The Eagles, Carol King, Rod Stewart (still one of my favs)
My first concert was at Anaheim Stadium (general admission) It was Rod Stewart, Loggins and Messisa and Fleetwood Mac. We spent the night in a dirt lot the nite before and then got in line the next day. It was one of the scariest experiences of my life at the time. People pushing and the crowd.... I think I was the only one there not loaded... i wasnt much of a concert goer then, but now I love live music
Yep, im a country girl... love me some Wynonna, Carrie, Reba. I also still love and can crank it, Eagles and Rod, James Taylor. It all takes me back to a time i loved.
I love to scrapbook. i dont do it as much as i would like and i do more for others than myself. mine is really far behind. I love our little R.V. and wish we could go away more often. Spending time with our grandkids makes me happy. I am always looking for ideas to help with the women I serve. Crafting, hobbies, etc. And I still love going to the beach.
