About Connie

Hi everyone,
Welcome to the site. Let me tell you a few things about me...for those who don't know. I am the youngest of the lucky 7. I was a tom boy as a young girl. my first job was babysitting for Brenda and Gil Parkin (Brenda was Mom's cousin), and cleaning house for an old lady that lived on 8600 south by the rail road tracks about 2nd east in Sandy utah. I was not popular in school and not the brightest but still enjoyed the academics and graduated with a 3.7 avg. In high school I was in the pep club and was on the drill team. I was the only child that received a car from dad... I think my brothers thought that this was unfair. OH well. one perk for the youngest. I married the first time at age 18, had Amber at age 19 and Amy at age 21. I have worked various jobs. Waitressing, Sewing, Telephone solicitor, Data Entry, and owned my own business from 1995 thru 1999 - which was a disaster. I divorced in 1987 and remarried in 1994. Nicole was born in 1995. I divorced again in 2003. I went back to school in 2000 and earned my bachelors degree in Accounting. I am now a property accountant for Extra Space Storage.
I planned the first L.C. Rees Reunion at Lake Steinaker in Vernal Utah. I also planned the reunion at the Farm with the carnival. I think everyone who attended had a good time. I have photo's that I will upload.. if i can figure that out. If not then I am pretty sure that there is one of you out there that can help me with that.
My furthest adventures east are to Vernal, Utah, South to Yuma Az., West to the ocean and North to Vancouver BC Canada.
I am a proud grandmother of Kendall Jo. Born to Colby and Amber James in Dec of 07. But i will let Amber tell you about Kendall.
