Hello Everyone! I have really enjoyed reading about what everyone has been doing! Time sure does fly by. I really wish that I could make it to the reunion but it turns out to be a really bad travel time for me. A lot has happened in ten years, but I have managed to stay in touch and close with many friends from HHS, and to David Nugent, I did see you on Oprah! Interesting show ;) I also enjoy seeing Chip (Silas) Gaither on commercials every now and again. For me, I graduated from UTK in 2000 with a BA in Spanish, and then spent a lot of time traveling. I spent a couple of months in Costa Rica, lived a while in Portsmouth, New Hampshire to check out the New England area, and then on to Athens, Georgia where I lived with Heidi Rine and her now husband Billy before moving on to Chicago, IL where I currently live. I went to grad school at University of Illinois Chicago where I received my Masters of Education. While in school my parents moved abroad to Budapest, Hungary where they lived for three years. As you can imagine this worked out well for me because I was able to spend about two months traveling Europe. I am now teaching Spanish to kindergarten through the eighth grade (yes, all of them, yikes!) at a school in Chicago, called Sayre Language Academy. I really enjoy the challenge. I am not married (the boys in the pictures are my wonderful brothers, both HHS graduates), but I have a wonderful relationship with my boyfriend JT. Who knows what the future holds! My best to everyone, have a great time at the reunion! Salud!
