Hello all,
It has been years since our last post, but alas, an update of updates. This is DJ-K. A lot has happened in the past 10 years. Since 2011, WPTC has since been sold and is no longer a radio station sadly (I was updated by a few WPTC family members after my return to Erie, PA and it was saddening to hear). I returned to Erie, Pennsylvania and I currently care for the elderly; I still aspire to write and DJ, but it has been on a very long hold as I am suffering a huge writers block DJ jobs here are sparse, and at this moment in my life I am not entirely sure what I’d like to write about. I did almost score a radio position here in Erie some years back, but I was never contacted back about it, and I accepted another job in the meantime because I was under impression that they gave the job to someone else due to myself not being contacted when they said they would had I got the job. So I have had various job positions since returning home. Being 35, and still not quite knowing what I’m supposed to be exactly in this life, just not where I thought I’d be, but it’s for a reason I’m sure that I just haven’t figured out yet. However, other things have been right on. For the past 10 years I’ve been with my soul mate, the father of my child, and my will be husband July 30, 2023. I’ve known him since 2004. We started dating January 2, 2012. We’ve been through good and bad times and never gave up on each other. He’s wonderful and a great father. Our little is a huge daddy’s girl. I also happened to have her on my 33rd birthday. She was the best present I’ve ever received. I’ve even owned a horse and learned how to ride! I’ve since rehomed her after the birth of our daughter but she was a fun horse while I had her. I have not returned to Williamsport since I graduated and returned home, however a trip someday is in order and I plan to. I’m hoping maybe this summer after I’m married. On a weekend. I miss everyone. I’d like to see us all reunited again for a dinner or to just hang out like we used to once again for just a day. And it’s funny, my coming to Williamsport was for school, but also to be in a relationship with someone I no longer even talk to, and it brought me to this wonderful station, my wonderful radio family. And being here, and hearing when we lost two of our own too soon, I felt a tremendous amount of guilt and loss not being able to be there to say goodbye. I know they would understand. But it still hurt. 5 and a half hours out, a full time job, other commitments and a 2 and a half year old to keep after. I just felt horrible not being able to go to either service. I hope to someday fulfill my dreams of being a DJ, and a writer. For now, I am doing something I like, helping others, but I’m not quite where I need to be at the same time. I just wanted to update a bit on my life. I was thinking a lot about everyone today when I was writing my wedding list out and all that and anyone who cannot come to the wedding we will be live streaming on Facebook also.
Love y’all,
Krista DJ-K Smith
