| All About ME...and more! |
| I was born on a cold winter morning in Siberia... Wait no that isn't right... I was born at 1:05 pm on a hot July afternoon in Great Falls, Montana. My mom, Debra Kay Huhtala, suffered through two months of heat to give birth to me. I was her first child, an therefore, a guinea pig. My parents gave me every minute of thier time since mom was a stay-at-home mom and we lived on the goverment compound where my dad, Stanley James Huhtala, worked. Did he work for the CIA? No, he was a water resource manager/biologist for Tiber Dam. He was the Dam manager. Yes, we lived in the dam house on the dam land, next to...you got it, the dam. :) I spent five years soaking up all the love and affection from all of our relatives until on April 3, 1987 when my sister Allyson was born. Her first day home, she punched me in the nose with her tiny fists and it has been that way ever since. Sibling rivalry didn't get any easier; my mother gave birth again (oops) to my brother Ian, on September 15, 1988. I told her to stop having babies or I was going to run away. I tried to do so (on my Huffy bike) several times, but when you live thirty miles away from the nearest town you can't get too far. I made it half a block before I realized this. We spent 9-years at the dam house (this joke never gets old by the way), before Mom and Dad couldn't take the solitude any more; we moved into a big house in Chester in 1991. Chester was great, they had a pool, a park, and the hospital was right up the street (a plus for the accident prone Huhtala child who once got the cap of a pen stuck up her nose and had to be driven 30 miles to town to get it removed by the surgeon). True story. It was a blue pen. I went to grade school, middle school, and high school in Chester (convieniently all in the same building) and graduated on May 21st 2000. I had a lot of fun that day, a little TOO much fun, but that is a story for another time. After high school I ventured to Billings, Montana to attend Montana State University--of the damned (just kidding) and I got really active in the student newspaper, and God-approved activities that didn't involve the police (THANK GOD). I learned the value of money (lack-of), the meaning of friendship, the importance of sleep and best of all I learned my family really wasn't that bad after all. :) I graudated on May 1, 2004 with a Bachelor of Science in Public Relations, so I can B.S. in P.R. I just recently scored a job at the Billings Gazette working in Advertising as a customer Service Rep (a.k.a: advertising wench). My job consists of babysiting the sales reps and their advertising customers until the ads are printed. Most of my time is spent chasing after them when they forget to do something as simple as giving the ad to the artist to design. Nothing worse than realizing it's 4:50 on Friday and the ad for Saturday's paper isn't even designed and proofed. That's what I do every day. Surpisingly, I love every minute of it. I am a deadline-nazi. There is so much more but that is the over view or my life to this point. Ciao! Janna |
