Attended HHS: 1988-89
1989-90
What I would change: I have no idea. It was what it was.
What I would do differently: I would have been much more confident
and cared less about the opinions of
others. But then, I suppose most of us would
have if we knew then what we know now.
Other than that, the most memorable thing was being able to leave early
and go to college after my sophomore year.
Montana, eastern Idaho, Colorado, Wymoing, and then back in the
[Treasure] valley
Companies I've worked for: A lot. Samples: Child Care Resource and Referral Program Director
Ranch Cook, Bartender, Property Inspector, Stay-at-Home Mom
Colleges I've attended: TVCC (AA, General Studies)
currently taking classes online toward BA (done Apr/08)
Organizational Management, emphasis on Human Resources
Expectations vs. reality: I always expected to leave the area, get a good college degree and
work my way into upper managment in some city.
Instead, I got an associates degree (not that that's bad, just not what I
expected), had my son, and stuck around.
However, I've had my own adventures and never would have
expected to learn to drive a team of horses in Montana in the
wintertime, learn how to cook on a wood stove, be a bartender or
have lived in 15 different towns and 5 states in my life.
Oh ya, I also never planned to have 4 kids, but they're kinda cool
now that they're around. :-)
I've stayed in touch with: Mary Suitter, Susan Graves and occasionally Angie Graves &
Joanne Jorgensen.
I'd like to re-gain contact with: Anyone! I love touching base with past friends!
My 3 most important accomplishments: raising my 4 kids, surviving divorce (and maintaining sanity
through the marriage, for that matter), returning to college
since spring 2003
Living arrangements: house in the Stunenberg Historical District, with my kids
Spouse/significant other name: na
How long together, how we met: (how about, thank God we're not together anymore)
Kid(s) name(s) & birth month/year: Ethan, Jun/93
Alexandra, Nov/97
Brianna, Oct/00
Lacey, Sep/03
Pet(s) name(s), birth mo/yr, types: Keiko, Nov/05, cat
Employer/Occupation: Scott Stevens (Boise, ID) / Associate Financial Representative
Most frequent leisure activity: I have 4 children and am taking 10 credits every 5 wks so I can
get my degree over with. I am not familiar with that word (said
with a straight face!). I try to get in quality time talking w/ the kids
and maybe jump on the tramp w/ them about 3 times a week
for 1/2 hr or so.
My average week: I work @ least 20 hrs/wk and am taking 2 5-credit classes every
5 weeks (the online college I'm attending allows for a very
accelerated program). I'll complete 45 credits from October
2007 to the end of April 2008 to attain my Bachelor's degree.
I have no life, and neither do my children since Ethan's football
season has ended. Once I'm done with classes, we'll get back
to those extracurricular activities!
If you find me and I don't add you, please don't be offended. It's only 'cause I forget I have one!
