I realize while reading these things that some of you know my life and others have been spared! (hehe)
After chs, I went to Nicholls for a year then worked for a year, then got married to Kirk Metz (st. pauls c/o 85) we moved to Indiana and then South Carolina and then Washington state between 89-93. We lived just outside of Seattle til 96 when we seperated. (Had Olivia in 95). I was seperated at the 10 year reunion and vowed to file for divorce when I returned to WA. The reunion was June 12 and by June 18 I was a widow (Kirk's retaliation to divorce was suicide). My head spun and my life catapulted into some dark days when just 3 months later my mom also committed suicide...(don't know how I survived but I'm sure my friends had alot to do with it!!) Olivia and I moved to bush, La and lived there for about a year until I was conned into following "mr. right" to Wisconsin. Long story not worth retelling believe me but I'm glad he's on the missing list and I hope he's been met by much unfortunate events since then. Olivia and I returned to LA and lived in Mandeville for awhile. I enrolled in SLU and pursued a marketing degree. I bought a house in Covington in 99 and I lived the single life quite happily until I had my second daughter - nothing like a SURPRISE to calm a person down! After I completed college in 02, I worked for a few months and returned to SLU for a masters degree. While working on my masters degree, I became engaged and was supposed to be married in June 06 but the wedding was called off last February --- his action/my reaction. since then, I started building a second house. (the one that will be ready reunion weekend). I'm teaching at Madisonville Elem and am the very proud mom of 2 great kids. I'm happilty single and I can honestly say life is good. But man was it a rocky road.
