The Penn State Alumni Association

What’s been happening:

Wow, so much has happened it's hard to remember! I'm married to a great guy that I've know since high school. We have two amazing little girls Alayna is 9 and Ariella will be 8 in July. Our lives really revolve around our children, families and work. My husband, Dave, is the rock of our family and tries to keep us all grounded. We have taken some vacations with the girls to Disney World in Florida, Chattanooga, TN to visit their Auntie, Assateague and Chincoteague to see the wild ponies and the seashore. They have been camping in Ocean City, MD and gone to tons of amusement parks and water parks, which they absolutely enjoy. Fortunately I have stayed in touch with many of my college friends, we often talk about getting back out to Happy Valley for our own little reunion of friends, but have not had the opportunity so far. Last year, September 2008, I was able to run in the Philadelphia Distance Run on behalf of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Team in Training program. That was a life changing event, raising money for cancer research and training to participate in a half marathon, which I did finish! That was my, "I need to accomplish this personal challenge I just hit 40" goal! Not to mention the lives of people we were able to touch and give some extra hope. Looking for a new career after almost 15 years in the insurance world, any offers!!??
