Howdy from Tampa, Florida! I echo everyone's sentiments...it's hard to believe 20 years has passed since walking the halls of LHS. Sadly, we will not be able to attend the reunion; but I hope everyone has a great time reconnecting.

I'll summarize my world since the Westerner days: I went to TTU and received my BBA in Management; and my MA in Communication Studies. I worked for TTU and TTUHSC in various PR functions for 10 years. I've been happily married to Levi Kirwin (also a Westerner) for 11 years this August. I came home from TTU/TTUHSC a few months before having our precious son, McKael (now 4 ½); and then a beautiful daughter, Asha (now 3). We had been living in Lubbock until moving to Tampa, Florida almost two years ago. I'm still at home, just in a Domestic PR role now. NOTHING in this world could have prepared me for motherhood or staying at home, but I wouldn't trade it for anything. I am completely blessed with loving family and friends; and I am thankful to God for this journey to which He has commissioned me.

I found myself feeling nostalgic reading everyone's “life updates.” I truly hope all is well with everyone and I pray blessings of love, health, and happiness over you all. If you would like to email me, please do so at: sharmilakirwin@yahoo.com.
