My name is Stacy Quartucci and this is my story. I was born in Chicago, but Chicago couldn't keep us, we moved to Central Illinois. After that, it was a whirlwind. My parents' careers required extensive traveling, so I spent a lot of time living and traveling in a motor home. While on the road, I had the opportunity to visit many cities and meet alot of different people all around the United States. Eventually, we made it back to the Illinois Valley. I called many places home until laying roots in Spring Valley. I graduated from Hall High School with ambitions of getting a degree in Computer Science, but after a couple years at I.V.C.C., I realized that sitting behind the computer all day was not my gig. I changed my major many times and then found myself in Tulsa, OK for a year where I finished school and ended up with, what can only be described, as a degree that compiled all of my many pursuits. Eventually, I came full circle and again returned to the Illinois Valley. I am now twenty-something and married with two kids, boys (God's really been having fun with me). For the last seven years, I have pretty much been a full-time mom and home-maker extraordinaire. Now and then I help out with errands and office work for Young's Custom Ag Service and, recently, I also started doing some work with The Braille House for the blind. I love movies, singing, hanging with the girls, and have become borderline obsessive with my flower garden and decorating (HGTV freak).  I am really excited about being a part of "The Review" and cannot wait to see what else Chicago Productions is going to cook up.
