Deanna's Story

3 days after graduation i moved to Tempe,Arizona. It was like moving to HELL! Desert,sand, hot hot hot and ugly.I never did adapt to desert life even after living there for 23 years.But good things came into my life.I got a few years of college in,and in 1974 found my soul mate and best friend.We have been married for almost 36 years! That is something to be proud of in its self. We have 6 son's and 2 daughters.Our youngest daughter died 7 years ago at age 9. we now have 5 daughter-in-laws and 8 grandchildren.14 years ago we moved from hell to heaven! My husband has been with the fire service for 35 years.He is the fire chief in the town he grew up in in eastern 0regon. I have had many trials & tribulations in my life but I have learned how to make the best lemonade! Wow! Time for a update. After 38 years of marriage my x cheated with a friend. . It was one of the hardest things I ever had to go through. I married at age 20 so thats pretty much all I knew. For 3 years I struggled, did a lot of dating trying to mask my pain with dating. Didn't help much at all. Financial I was just fine as Bruce had to give me half of his income. I did a lot of reading, soul searching and counseling. In 2015 I met Jay Proehl. Well I met him on line .Zoosk dating site. We talked almost every day for 5 months. He lived in of all places, Mesa Arizona. Th...Expand for more
e very place I said I would never ever live again. I was living in 0regon at the time. So after 5 months of talking, out of the blue, without ever talking about meeting, Jay asked me to marry him. Without hesitation I said yes ! A week later I flew to Arizona, Spent 2 weeks there with Jay. We drove back to 0regon to get married much to my 6 sons horror. Feb 27 will be 6 years of marriage for us. These past 6 years have been the greatest happiest years of my life. We had a few bumps, Jay is a only child and mama believed no one was good enough for her son. I proved her wrong.. Today I am a true believer of, Cinderella ,prince charming and happily ever after. I've traveled from the west coast to the east coast, have enjoyed a few cruises and last year for Christmas spent 17 days in Italy. I am living a life I never dreamed of. Jay and I will be moving from Mesa to the cool mountains in Show Low area,where we are building a new home. I've learned that God's plan for us is far better than what we try and plan. We can only see down the road a little ways, but God can see the whole trip. We need to trust the trip he has planned for us. As for my x, I took the high road and decided to let Karma do her thing. She's done a far better job than I ever could have. It truly is a wonderful life, and happily ever after isn't just in the fairy tales
