Jennifer's Story

Life My life has taken many interesting turns. I left Margate in 1989. I married and moved to Miami. In 1993 I seperated and divorced but in the process met the absolute Love of my life and forever partner, my husband Luis, now since 1995. We have two beautiful daughters, Taylor Renee is age 10 and Alexandria Rey is 6. They bring us such joy. My husband Luis is Cuban-American. We met in Miami as he was finishing UM. We married soon after we met and when he graduated, enlisted in the Army. He spent a year in Korea while I stayed in the States and had our first child. Upon return from Korea, we were stationed in Fort Huachuca, Arizona for 2 years. He left military service to work for the Department of Defense as a Civilian and subsequently we were relocated to Panama in 1999. We served there for a time and then moved again to San Juan, Puerto Rico for 2 more years. Being from South Florida, we both dive and certainly enjoyed the Carribean waters for that period. In 2001, we were moved to Fort Gordon, Georgia where I gave birth to our second daughter, Alex. I had a very bad pregnancy, and we nearly lost her. She was premature one month but only weighed 3 pounds. She was in the NIC unit for one month and we gratefully brought her home at 3 pounds 5 o...Expand for more
unces, the smallest baby released from the hospital in Augusta. Soon after, September 11th happened. Luis was deployed to Afganistan, one of the first 5 Civilian to enter the country. He spent 6 month intervals between Georgia and the middle east. We waited patiently and always hoped and looked forward to his return. It was difficult for the girls. Children do not understand that "Daddy" won't be back for months. But the experiences gained from the deployments and for those of us left behind have only built a character and determination that few will understand. It was extremely difficult during those 3 years but fortunately I had a strong support system. We currently live in the Washington DC area since 2004. We live on Kent Island, Maryland, literally across the Cheasapeake Bay from the Annapolis Naval Acadamy. It is clearly visible and a beautiful sight. I am a Tax Specialist and work seasonally from January to April every year. I teach the Basic Income Tax Course in fall for the last 2 years for H and R Block in Annapolis. At age 38, I have had the ride of my life and wouldn't trade it in for anything. I look forward with eager anticipation what my next 38 years will bring. I hope everyone will have the joy I have been lucky enough to live with.
