Here are more pictures of the Scholarship night...
I was born and raised in North Platte Nebraska. I met my husband in high school and we dated for a couple of years before he went off to basic training and I went off to college. My husband ended up being stationed in Omaha Nebraska and I transferred schools to Omaha. I graduated college with a bachelors in biology and that summer after graduation we were married. We lived in Omaha for a few years where I worked as the Loss Prevention Manager for Von Maur department stores. I also went to graduate school and graduated with my masters in forensic science in the behavioral sciences. Then we were both ready for a change and we put in for the assignment to GK. We have been here for two years now. We were blessed with a baby boy this past August and we are enjoying every minute with him. In my free time I enjoy outdoor activities, playing sports, golfing, snowboarding, and shopping.
Living here in GK has been a fun and exciting assignment. It has given me the opportunity to travel and see the world! Being able to live in Europe for a few years is a once and a lifetime opportunity and I plan on taking advantage of every minute I have here. In April we are planning a trip to Spain and this summer we are planning on taking a cruise to the Greek Isles.
Many people here don’t know that I worked loss prevention where I monitored and apprehended shoplifters. I miss the excitement and the rush of apprehending and questioning suspects.
Jennifer, I don’t want to be a superhero! I am not creative enough to come up with one.
Living here in GK has been...the best experience ever. I consider the last three years to have been a vacation, it doesn't get any better than this!!! I've got to travel to places I never would have dreamed of in a million years and then some. My favorite place has to be Tuscany with Paris coming in a close second; I'd move to either place in a heartbeat. I've meet some really goods friends, that I would never have met had we not moved here and I'm thankful for that.
One fact not commonly not known about me would be...this is silly, but I can fold the outside of my ear into the inside. I really would have to demonstrate, but that is the best way to explain it; it is a little odd. My husband says I should go on Dave Letterman's stupid human tricks, haha!!
If I had a superhero power it would be...to be able to clone myself. I work part-time and my son is always asking me to be with him at school when I'm at work. Cloning myself would allow me to be everywhere I wanted to be at any time. Then I could also send my clone to the grocery store which is my least favorite chore.
Where are you from?
My father was in the Army, so I grew up moving around. I was born in Hawaii, and have lived in Washington, Georgia, North Carolina, Florida, Virginia, and most recently California. I also spent several years in Berlin. Most of our extended family is now in Georgia, so that is kind of "home"
My husband and I both attended the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta, which is where we met. I graduated with both my BS and MS in Civil Engineering. I worked for a while doing roadway and airport design, before leaving to get married.
Where you were stationed before GK?
Before GK, we were stationed at Point Mugu in southern California. The base is home to the west coast E-2C Hawkeye squadrons. It is a beautiful area, just north of Los Angeles and just south of Santa Barbara's fabulous wine country.
How many kids do you have?
I have two daughters. Amelia is 5 and Alice is 3.
What do you do in your spare time? Or what you would like to do in your spare time?
(Finish the sentence)
Name one fact that is not commonly known about you.
If you were a superhero, what would your name be and what type of power would you have?
