I am looking forward to attending the 50th Reunion in 2010. How can it be? I don't feel any older. I sing a song of praise when I can still recall the wonderful events in my life. I am looking forward to seeing all of you. I just moved out of the house I have lived in for the past 30 years. I cannot stress the stress this has been. I have some incredible friends and family who gave me wings. I felt like I was caught in a tidal wave and God moved me to shore. I am now living in a beautiful three bedroom home apartment and feeling very free of the stress of owning a home. Now, I can travel to Australia to see my daughter, Renee`, and her family who moved there last June. My son-in-law was with Citi Bank, and as one of their Vice Presidents he told them they were in big trouble, and they would not listen. Soooooo he got a headhunter out and they found a CEO job with OnZed Bank in Melbourne. I am back and forth to Concord, NC (one hour away) to see my other daughter, Bethany, and her family. I now have 6 grandchildren. Renee` has four and Bethany has two. I thought I knew what love was all about, but, boy was I wrong. I am still working Nation Wide with Mary Kay Cosmetics, and because I aged out of becoming a National, I started substitute teaching to meet new people. What a blessing that has been. I just celebrated my 30th year with Mary Kay Cosmetics and last Saturday I picked up my 14th free car the company has given me for enjoying my work. On March 6, 2010 my father passed away in Houston, TX. He was buried in Tucson. The love and support I received from members of our class who are part of the Lunch Bunch while I was in Tucson can never be measured. Judy Lucky opened her home and heart to me, as did the girls at the luncheon and then at a breakfast. It was so meaningful to see everyone and tie ends together from the past. I am excitedly looking forward to the Reunion in October. Little did we know how much the past would mean to us today.
