Bobbie Jo's Story
Okay.. for all of those who might be interested.. After we all graduated I went off to College up in Arlington. ended up with a degree in Architectural Restoration/Design. The following July 1991, I was married to a man from Connecticut whom was <ex military, already out> from 1991-2000. We lived in CT.. and I loved it.. my job unfortunately didn't last due to the economy at the time. Since I was already volunteering at the local Firehouse along with my Husband Gary, who is an Aerospace Engineer for Secorscee Aircraft..I decided to take the state test and to say the least, the rest is history on that part.. I've been a Firefighter/medic since.
I've kept my fingers in my original education tho. I've had the pleasure of restoring many homes in the New England area as well has having a tiny hand in designing my parents home, my sisters remodeling and the best yet.. My dream home..
Now I did mention that I was only married from 1991-2000 to Gary <sigh> Things just didn't work out but we have the rare ability to stay friends and we stay in touch including his parents whom were a strong source of strength in the years we shared..
In 1998 I had a rare opportunity to meet a man from New Hampshire, Marty, who was a fellow Firefighter. We became fast friends.. and over the next 2 years.. he encouraged me to fight for my marriage and make it work.. but alas all efforts failed.. after I was separated 99 & divorced 00 the idea of taking our friendship to the next level came about and I realized that all the encouragement came from him wanting what was best for me and my happiness. So I moved to NH in 2001 and today I have my best friend as my husband.. we da...Expand for more
ted till 2004, got engaged and married Dec 05.
With this marriage I have gained a ready made family whom I love dearly as my own, a wonderful Stepson Zachary (85) and Stepdaughter, Miranda (81).. and soon after I became a grandmother.. Miranda has 4 boys, 2002,04,06,08.
Zachary has a daughter Liahna 2005 and Little Romeo Due Sept 2008. Little Romeo is named after Marty's Father..
Now I'm sure your wondering how on earth I made it back to Texas after living in New England for 14.5 years. I dragged Marty down here in the heat of August on year and he LOVED IT.. so once the kids had graduated from HS.. Off and running (me kicking and screaming) to Texas we came. in 04.. My Parents and sisters were still in the area and my Parents still own our family Ranch in Belton. So, we picked a piece of land attached to the ranch and built our dream home that took 2 years to design and plan.
and Now..... Marty works as the Director of Maintenance for the Clements Boys and Girls Club and I had worked for S&W Trauma ER and ground ambulance from 04-07. Now I'm with University of Texas Medical Branch/ Patient Evacuation Command Center, as of June (08). And have the pleasure of owning my own business called Petals and Lace. it's an Event Planning Company that specializes in weddings, anniversaries and showers. from the Cake to the Flowers to the food you enjoy and the clothes you wear. We take care of it =O))
