Growing up I knew I wanted to be a wife and a working mom. Never did I imagine I would marry a military man. I married my husband in April 1991 while he was a young Army helicopter pilot stationed at Fort Ord, California. We built a beautiful life and have three awesome children. Allyssa is 24 and will be graduating from The Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising in Los Angeles in March. Kylie, 18, attends the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga and Hayden is a Junior in high school. We enjoy spending time together laughing, playing games and making good food.
I have been selling real estate for about 12 years and I enjoy working with great people. Helping people reach their real estate goals is very rewarding.
Gary was an awesome soldier. After 23 years of service Gary retired as a Chief Warrant Officer Five (CW5) in August of 2010. He spent the last 13 years of his career with the elite 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment--the Night Stalkers. At the time of his accident he was at the top of his game as a Flight Lead with B Company flying the Ah-6 Little Bird helicopter. He loved every minute of it. Gary is now working as a civilian on the 160th Compound. He trains pilots in the helicopter simulators.
After the helicopter crash on May 31st, 2008, Kylie was involved in a head on collision on February 5th 2009. She suffered a broken femur and her knee cap was broken into three pieces. After over a year of rehabilitation she is doing well. We have tough cookies at our house!
We've come a long way since Gary's life changing crash. The journey has been documented at www.caringbridge.org/visit/garylinfoot. Our daily life is full of ups and downs but unlike the early days after the injury of mountains and canyons our journey has settled down to something similar to the rolling hills of Tennessee. Through this blog, you can take the journey with us if you would like.
