20 years.... can you believe it??? Here's where I was and were I'm at since graduation. I went to Kearney State College and received a degree in Elementary Ed and Early Childhood. In 1984 I married Jeff Ballard. We lived in Kearney for a year and then Lincoln for a year before moving to Sioux Falls, SD and have lived in Sioux Falls ever since. I manage a child care center for Citibank and have been there 13 years.

The center expanded into a new building three years ago and we now care for over 400 children ages 6 weeks to 10 years. It keeps me moving most of the time.

Jeff and I have two children, Jessica - 10 yrs. and Jared - 7 yrs. I spend most of my free time running the kids from activity to activity, helping with homework and trying to keep one step ahead of the car pool schedule and gray hair. We're very close to both of our families and enjoy taking vacations and camping trips together with the cousins (as my kids would say).

I'm looking forward to catching up with all of you at the reunion. See you then.
