After High School I attended UW Oshkosh and UWWC- West Bend. Shortly after, I started working for a company that specialized in benefits. I worked for about 11 years there as a pension administrator. Basically I ran compliance testing on company's pension/401(k) plans to make sure company's were providing benefits equally and fairly to their employees in accordance to the rules and regulations set in place by the DOL/IRS. I am now working at a company called EMJAY Corp (for the past 3.5 yrs) in Glendale and am taking on more responsibilities in the same field. Blah, blah, blah...It all sounds pretty boring and I rarely have conversations about my job outside of work- except to my husband (poor thing) who has to listen to my mouth ramble on about how stressful it is. I'm trying to re-think the whole "what I want to be when I grow up" thing.
I had my twins in 1996. Alyssa was born with down syndrome and that was a huge kick in the stomach. But she is a very funny girl and I just love her, even though she can be very sassy. She has a lot of health problems and we have spent many days at Children's Hospital over the years. It's just a normal thing for us now. My other daughter, Gabi, is a very dedicated student who maintains above a 4.0 gpa. Clearly she took after her mother!
I won't go in to the story about my 1st husband but he had to go...not a nice guy. My new husband is wonderful. He took on all my baggage, and there was a lot! He has a daughter, AJ (also Alyssa) who is 21 years old and goes to college in Arizona.
Weird thing- I married two guys, both named John. I have a daughter named Alyssa and my step daughter's name is Alyssa.
