Spotlight On: Tracy Jackson

I’ve been given the opportunity to share with AWGK a little about me and the Jackson house, originally from Atlanta Georgia. I am Tracy Jackson and my family and I have been in Geilenkirchen (Bauchem village) for the past 5 months. My husband, Jonathan, has been a member of the US Air Force for the past 21 years. Prior to coming to Germany, he was a Training Manager at Maxwell in Montgomery, AL. He’s currently at the Training Wing on GK as Registrar. Most of the flyers have been or will be acquainted with him. We have two sons: DeShun-12 and Joshua-1. DeShun is a 7th grader, attending school at AFNORTH and Joshua attends the School of Mom.

I love sleeping, shopping, and family time. Unfortunately, since Joshua came on the scene, I see very little sleeping time BUT fortunately, I see a great deal of shopping time! As long as I have my family, my friends, and my love for God I am relatively happy & totally complete. If I could click my heels together three times, truly there is no place like home. I really miss my family/friends, restaurants and conveniences. Ultimately, this Georgia Peach would be back there simply because its home. Not to mention my husband and I would stand a better chance in winning the Mega Millions or the Georgia Lottery! But my duty now is to be in Europe and experience life in a new way. We haven’t been to many places here yet. Bitburg & Spangdahlem are the extent of our European travels on this Assignment, but we are in the process of making family plans for trips & touring. While here, I also hope to earn my Master’s degree. I would have to say that the craziest thing that I have done is give birth to a baby at the ripe old age of 38! My body & my mind knows that it isn’t at all like it was a decade ago, but God knows that given the opportunity to do it all again, I wouldn’t change a thing. Thank you AWGK for allowing me to be one of your spotlights for March to celebrate my 40th birthday!!
