Connie's Story
Well, here goes as per request. After HS I attended the U of W for 2 yrs. Had been working for PNB Tel Co since I was 16. I was able to slide into what I considered a very good job.
Gary Marks (from our class) & I had been dating off & on since our senior yr at Highline & decided to finally get married. We moved to Santa Rosa, CA where I decided to start a new career in the dental business. After 6 yrs in CA we moved back to WA & decided to start a family. We had two children, Wes & Rachel. Gary passed away at age 46 & the kids were 14 & 16. Not the best time in our lives, but we did get through it.
Chapter II
After 2 yrs as a widow & single Mom, I met Jim through mutual friends. He was flying for NW airlines. After 3 yrs of dating we decide...Expand for more
d to get married & have been married almost 9 yrs. Not only did I gain a husband, but 4 step children. Jim has 3 sons & one daughter. That makes 6 kids together, 4 sons & 2 daughters & currently together we have five grandchildren.
We do travel quite a bit. We moved from Federal Way, Redondo area to Arizona 4 years ago. Jim has always had a lake place in Minnesota so we try to spend most of the summer there. Currently my two children & their families live in Arizona & Jim's are scattered. This accounts for most of our travel. We both have many friends & family in Washington so visit there frequently as well.
I feel very blessed! Life often takes a different road than planned, but getting through the bumps in the road is what makes life GOOD!
