to look for new job. Was a
Purchasing Assistant and Buyer for
a steel building company. Then

(for snow) and planned our

the wedding, J. R. was born.
Decided best to stay home. 14
months later, Jessica was born.
Did some part-time work with
KMart in Hartford and worked
quite a few assignments with temp
agencies in Tennessee. Also very
active with volunteering at
school.
Currently, working in
the grocery industry (just on the
ground floor right now because
I'm only wanting Part-time yet).
LOVE THE INDUSTRY!and Festival!
Hope to have career plans in a
few years! Still have 15 good
years of work ahead of me and
looking forward to it! (I know
that's weird, but I've still
not yet found my "career").
