Well, I thought that it was finally my turn to update everyone on myself. It’s amazing how many people have moved away. For years I have thought, “we had such a big class, you’d think I’d run into some of them.” But in 10 years of staying in Boise, I have only come across a handful of you.

I was able to graduate early, left in Jan and I’m sure you all know that I was immediately married in Feb. And I’m pleased to say, we are still happily married today, growing and learning everyday. And I have not left Boise, nor do I see myself leaving anytime soon.

Throughout the years I have done a variety of thing. I just didn’t have the desire to go to school, so I immediately started working and was able to be a secretary for a copier sales company for two years, then we were surprised with our 1^st child, Morgan. Since then, I have done odd jobs from candle sales, working as a barista at Starbucks, waitressing to finally something that I really enjoy, sales. My goal has always been to have a flexible schedule and keep my wonderful girls out of day care, which I have happily been able to do. We now have two great children, Morgan, 8, and Jasmine, 4, and they keep me very busy with their activities.

For the last two years I have finally found something to do that I love to do and gives me the flexibility that I need. I help people with health insurance, which is interesting, and recently I started working with a telecom company that is absolutely amazing.

We’ve had many learning experiences through the years which is how one grows. We also have been able to do some traveling, which I look forward to doing more. The future only looks brighter. I look forward to seeing everyone in a month and anyone who would like to contact me can, though my website, www.teambenton.acnrep.com.
