Occupation: Former teacher turned ) MOM! Marital Status: Married No. of Children: 2 What song or TV show reminds you of high school?: "Crazy For You" by Madonna...any Madonna, Whitesnake, Duran Duran & Phil Collins "Sussudio"......didn't say I loved it, just reminds me of high school Favorite high school memory?: Simple stuff........sneaking out of the Operetta to attend Kelly Allard's St. Patty's party during the intermission (and then sneaking back into the Operetta), attending baseball games with Christine Devereaux at Doerhoffer Park, riding the cheerleading bus to games and singing songs (yes, we really did sing), having to serve an "in-school" suspension for going out to "Feebs" with Jimmy Timble for lunch one day, driving to parties on the weekend with Carolyn Vavrek and singing songs played via cassette tape on her boom box (she only had AM radio), loved English with Stanley Steed, and I actually thought SPIRIT week was fun. Most memorable experience since high school?: I loved our wedding. Being in a room surrounded by our family and favorite friends is really as good as it gets. Since then, raising my girls is fun and rewarding and definitely crazy at times. From Leigh Ellen: Abridged version: Graduated from U of I in 1991 and moved to Chicago. Loved the city, got a teaching/masters degree from DePaul, met my husband at "Hi-Tops" (bar right outside of Wrigley Field), got married in 2000, had a little girl in 2002 and moved to Downers Grove in 2004. Had a second little girl 6 months ago. Having fun planning the reunion with old friends. Looking forward to seeing everyone in October! |

Twenty years sounds like such a long time but I don't feel that old. We live downtown by the lake and I spend plenty of my time helping my wife grow her stationery design business but our free time is spent traveling...I'm up to 17 countries and counting. Can't wait to see everyone in October. UPDATE: We just sold our place downtown and are moving to Utah to live in the mountains. We wanted to change things up a bit and will be moving both our companies out there. Our two Rhodesian Ridgebacks will love it too I'm sure. We leave three days after the reunion so the party will be on that weekend. |
