The name of my blog "What Ever Happened To......." I thought was completely appropriate. I have wondered on several occassions what has happened to people that I have worked or gone to school with in the past and thought I would use this as a way to let people know what is going on with me.
WOW - where in the world do I start? How about just after high school? Ok - after school, I ended up working for various real estate compaies and attorneys around town. I was lucky enough to receive "hands on training" from a local attorney and that allowed me to get my foot in the door for what I currently do. I am a real estate paralegal.
After a while, I decided to make a big move and headed up to Atlanta. I lived there by myself for about 2 years. I actually lived and worked in Buckhead. I had the most awesome apartment there! It was beautiful and I loved just about everything about it. I made more money there than I knew what to do with and so I took up a very dangerous habit - - - SHOPPING!
While I lived there, I made very good friends with a little man that worked in Ann Taylor. He would call me in the middle of the day and say "Ms. Amy, I have the most PERFECT outfits for you to come try on when you get off of work." And, without fail, I never even tried them on becuase he knew my exact size so I just bought them. One thing is for sure, when I lived up there, I knew how to dress!
I did make frequent visits back home. Mom would call me every now and then to drive to their house and have dinner and I always did. Sometimes, I would come down and stay with Dad for a weekend.
One weekend while I was down, Dad told me that he started a new southern gospel singing group called The Advocates. I was SO excited for him becuase I knew he was doing what he loved. The group practiced for several weeks before their actual debut. Over these several weeks, he would call and update me. One time though, his update when like this "Amy, you've GOT to meet my boy! You are going to LOVE him!" "His boy" was a guy named Andrew. Andrew then sang lead for the group. So, I told Dad to record their practice and send me a copy of it. When I heard Andrew sing Lighthouse, it was love at first sound! I told Daddy - "I'm going to marry that boy!"
For anyone that knows me, you'll find this story quite humorous becuase I at this point had never even met this mysterious boy with an awesome voice. I have been known to be somewhat of a brat at times and I typically get my way...........
More on this tomorrow....

Welcome to the world of blogging! By the way, how did you find mine?
Thanks for posting the update in a nutshell. I can't believe I haven't talked to you in two years. I'm still trying to get over the fact that you didn't invite me to your wedding! I didn't even hear about it until the week of the event, and that was from my grandma! Oh well, so goes life.
Sounds like all is well with you now. I would love to have lunch sometime to catch up in person!

Hey girl! Sorry for the delay on this. I am literally just now getting a second to even read this message that you left me! I didn't even know it was there! I plan to blog a lot more now that I know I have a "reader". LOL
Please forgive the wedding thing. Actually, the bottom line is that Andrew and I did that for our mothers. However, I don't recall being invited to yours either.....
We called our parents over one night to tell them that we were going to get married at Andrew's uncle's house (who is a pastor) and only have our parents and siblings there. Well, they FREAKED OUT! So, needless to say, that's how we ended up having an actual ceremony. Anywho - call me - let's talk! LOVE YA!

I DID SO INVITE YOU TO MY WEDDING! I mailed an invitation to you, to Christy & Michael, and to your mom & Tim, and you were the only one who didn't come. At our wedding reception I asked Christy where you were, and she said you had to drive your ex somewhere on that day. Oh, well, water under the bridge, as they say.
Oh how horrible! I'm so sorry! What an awful friend I have been! I truly did not remember being invited to your wedding. But, you're right, water under the bridge.....
