After high school I attended C.O.D. with the intention to earn some basic credits towards a degree in dental hygiene, but my interest quickly changed to travel and tourism and I finished C.O.D. with 2 certificates. I have had a few career paths including the mortgage industry, United Airlines, the transportation industry and I also had the opportunity to work for the American Water Works Association in Denver, Colorado, which is a non for profit organization. Currently I am a stay at home mom. My husband Johan (who is from South Africa) and I have been married for 8 years. We have 2 children together, Paige (6 years old) and Johnny (3 years old), plus I cannot forget to mention our Siberian Husky named Lucy. I also have a terrific 15 year old step-son named Dean, who still lives in South Africa. The kids and I have had the wonderful experience of traveling to South Africa several times with my husband. Other than living in Illinois, I have had the opportunity to live in Colorado and Pensacola, Florida. My family and I are currently back in Illinois living northwest of De Kalb.

After graduating I went on to the College of DuPage to study Religion and Anthropology before transferring out to Illinois State University where I studied Fine Arts and Anthropology. I never graduated - liked the school of hard knocks better...ha. I married George, in 1998, moved to Michigan in 2000 and back and forth to Illinois again until 2005 when we bought a home in Davisburg, Michigan. We still have that home, but live in Geneva, Illinois now. We have two boys, George (2004) and Gary (2008). I've had many roles/jobs in this life -- the ones I find the most rewarding are mom and wife.

My daughter turned 3 years old this September and my son started kindergarten this year, that's the big news in our house. I also am having fun with my new blog, and just posted a REUNION REDUX about our recent event: http://bagelonatree.blogspot.com/2009/09/reunion-redux.html. Great to see everyone, and I really mean it (and my thanks to the committee)!
