Hi everyone!
I don't think I am going to be able to make it to the reunion. Our schedules keep getting more and more hectic, and my parents won't even be in Lubbock that weekend. My parents still live there (as well as a ton of my family) but since they retired, they are always coming to see us. I never get to Lubbock anymore.
During the last ten years, I have gotten married to a great guy named Chad Norton. He is an ophthalmologist and we live in Alexandria, Louisiana. We lived in Natchez, Mississippi for three years prior to moving to central Louisiana, and Natchez is where I gave birth to my first son, Alex, who is now six years old. I gave birth to J.T. (Jack Thomas) almost three years ago and being the mother of two little boys keeps me very busy. My boys are both "all boy", and they have more energy than I have ever had. I have been a stay-at-home mom since Alex was born which can be wonderful and/or horrible depending on the day you ask me.
After earning a B.A. in English from Texas A&M University, I got a B.S. in Nursing from Texas Tech (I am still a die hard Aggie, though). I have worked in CCU, ICU, Orthopaedics, and indigent health. My most recent paying job was in an oncology clinic in Natchez working as a chemo nurse. These days I stay busy being a wife and Mom and participate in various other activities. I hope to be able to go back to work once the boys are a little bigger.
I miss Texas even though I haven't lived there for almost 10 years. It really has been great catching up with all of you. If anything ever brings you to Central Louisiana, look me up.

I am hoping to make contact with Chin Chao and Karen Hong. If either of you read this please contact me.
Thanks.
