CONTRIBUTIONS:
Fairbanks didn’t seem like such an awesome place when I was in high school, but I am so glad that I came around to discovering it and falling in love with it. Today I admire it from afar – home for the last 9 years has been San Antonio, Texas.
After spending the first year as a high school grad working and living like a bum in the Lower 48, school seemed like a really good idea, so I eagerly enrolled at UAF and had a great experience there. While going to school I got the real Alaska experience -- lived in a cabin, rode my bike to school in the snow, chopped wood, hauled water. Loved it.
After getting my degree, I got my first real job doing marketing for the Fairbanks CVB, where ironically, my job was to tell the world how great Fairbanks is. Did a lot of running in Fairbanks (including the Equinox marathon a couple of times), which is how I met my husband. Unfortunately, he is originally from San Antonio, Texas, and wanted to be closer to his aging parents. So I used reverse psychology on him, encouraging him to check out the job situation in San Antonio, hoping he would get it out of his system and we could stay in Fairbanks. The plan backfired when he visited San Antonio in the month of February, when it’s relatively balmy down in Texas and when Fairbanks isn’t at its finest.
Got married in August 97. Moved to Texas that fall when Bill got a great job opportunity down here. I have worked in public relations here the whole time, which has been pretty interesting. After the arrival of my daughter Ryan in June 2005, I am doing PR for a few clients part-time from home and doing some freelance magazine writing. It’s the best of both worlds – I get to be with her all day, we have our playgroup and do other fun things, and I get to flex the other part of my brain too.
San Antonio has been very good to us, we have had some great experiences here, made some good friends and it’s been fun to live in America, but we both miss Alaska and dream of going back some day. We miss the snow and I would like Ryan to grow up around seasons, even if they’re only “winter” and “not winter.”
Thank you, Patti, for doing such a wonderful job pulling this together. Don’t know if we’ll make it back for the reunion but it is really neat to see all the updates – so many people doing cool things with their lives. I can’t say I was crazy about high school, but I will always appreciate my time at West Valley for bringing cool people into my life – especially Missy Borchard, still my wonderful best friend after all these years!
