I met a "Garfield" guy, Jim Humphrey, in April of our Senior year.

Upon graduation, I was accepted at Children's Hospital School of Radiology. It was a two year program, but midstream into the program, I accepted a marriage proposal from Jim, got married and finished my radiology school in 1976.

We lived in Uniontown for two years and gave birth to our daughter, Jessica in 1978.

Longing for change, we decided to take a leap in faith and moved to Winchester, Kentucky.
We built a house in the country and even raised a couple pigs, cows, and numerous squawking birds!!
Going from a city girl to the country, was NO transition for me.......I loved it!

Shortly there after, we had a son in 1983, Jonathan.

Jim went into the optical field as an Optician and we had a business together for 18 years.

During those years, we traveled on many trips to the Caribbean, Mexico and Hawaii. Just one of the perks of having your own business! We met a lot of interesting people had the time of our lives.
Unfortunately, our business ended in 1996.
Jim went to work as a sales representative, still in the optical industry.
I managed our company until it closed, and worked PRN in the X-Ray field.


We went into empty nest syndrome simultaneously with both our children in 2001.
Jessica left for college to study and receive her masters in Special Education.
Jonathan went into the Air Force.
He is career driven, and is a Staff SGT Crew Chief, stationed at Beale AFB in California.
He has been around the world and back many times.
We are very proud of both our children.

It was now time for me to look for a full time job.
I was approached to manage a law firm, and did so for 10 years.
Boy was that ever a life experience. I am now retired and still living in Winchester, Kentucky.

My daughter lives just around the corner from us which we like because she has given us two wonderful grandsons: Noah, who is 5, and Wesley, who is 10 mos old.
I can see them whenever I like and get to be the best Nana I can be!

Being married 35 years has it's own rewards, but having grandchildren is a gift from God.
Especially since they come with a return policy!!!!
