What has changed about you?
• Well, after graduating from college and getting a real job, reality set in and I grew up fast. No more late nights and wild parties.
What hasn't?
• I’m still always running late and doing things at the last minute. I like to add extra stress to my life!
Best (or Worst) thing about being in your late 20's.
• The best thing would have to be that things have settled down and I feel happy and secure with my life. I still feel young and know that I have time to do so many more things with my life! The worst thing would have to be that we are all knocking on 30’s door.
Significant events for you in the last 10 years:
• 2002 Graduated from Illinois State
• 2002 Got my first real job teaching 2nd Grade
• 2004 Married my husband
• 2006 Graduated from St. Xavier University with a Master’s Degree in Education
• 2006 Our first daughter was born and we named her Kiersten Erin after my Norwegian grandmother and my older sister who is no longer with us. She has changed our lives so much and we are so lucky. We count our blessing everyday!!
Will you be attending the reunion:
• I will not be attending the reunion because we have a wedding that day out of town. It’s a close college friend to both of us, so we must go. My friends that are attending will update me. I know that they are excited to see everyone!
