It's Been a Long Time

I have not received emails lately that are updates for the blog. So getting an email with the subject "It's Been a Long Time" had me relieved. This update has been a long time coming. Monica Lloyd Maggio was one of our first finds thanks to the SHS 1986 Blog..........remember Jim, her brother? He married an 86 Tiger. Gail was a big help in leading us to Monica.

After graduating from High School, I attended Southeastern and graduated with a B.A. in Sociology. I stayed close to home in Louisiana for many years, worked for the state, disaster relief, spent several years working in long term care with the elderly, and was a mental health specialist working with disadvantaged kids. My husband and I met in 1999, we got married in 2000, and lived in Covington , then it was off to Houston … six months later…

We have lived in Houston , TX , six years now. My husband Adam and I have been married for 7 years, we have one child – Nathaniel – 3yrs. old, what a precious, joyful blessing God has given us. My husband is from New Orleans , graduated from UNO, he is an Engineer for Shell. We stay busy keeping up with our son Nathaniel, he loves the outdoors, sports, and playing in the water…We try to make it home to LA & MS whenever we can, due to us getting homesick, and our son begging to see Grammy & Granddaddy, etc...I am currently a stay home mom…a.k.a. multi task specialist…before becoming a mom I was a multi-task specialist (acct./legal work) for a maritime law firm, working in the New Orleans and Houston offices… hopefully one of these days I’ll get to finish those paralegal classes I was taking when my husband and I met…Houston has become home for us now, hopefully we’ll get the chance to move back home closer to our families one day…We are looking forward to the reunion, I have enjoyed reading the blog and catching up with everyone.



We are all thankful for a new update!!!! Something new to read!!

Monica also sent us photos. I am working on getting those uploaded. I am not sure what the problem is????? Check back for those!

In the meantime, if you have not sent your reunion payment to Kathi ( kenelms@bellsouth.net) please do so. Tomorrow is the deadline!!! We need to let the riverboat know how many will be attending. We will be unable to accept payment at the door.

Where in Houston are you? We live out in Cinco Ranch in Katy. Small world it is. Is your husband at the Shell office on Dairy Ashford or downtown?

Beth,

We live in Cypress. My husband is at the Dairy Ashford Office. Yes, it's a small world, and seems to keep getting smaller the older we get...
