Deanna's Story
It's really hard to believe we have been out of school this long! The time just goes so fast, doesn't it? Well, I am very happily married to my best friend, for the last 19 years, Joe, and we live in Pennsylvania. We have no children, by our own choice.
After school, I attended Camden County Vocational/Technical School and received my x-ray license and degree in Certified Dental Assisting. I then went to Camden County College and obtained my RDA.
I worked in NJ for the next year with a orthodontist until I met Joe (he was in the Air Force at the time). We were fixed up on a blind date by a mutual friend.
After dating for about a year, I moved to NY and we lived in Rome, at Griffith's AFB. I worked with a general dentist in Utica. Joe was in Civil Engineering. We were married in October of 1989. Then Joe was cross trained into Data Communications and we moved to McGuire AFB in Wrightstown, NJ in 1990. I worked for a general dentist in Cherry Hill while we were living at McGuire. We lived there until Joe left the air force in 1992.
After Joe was discharged we moved back to his home area of Pottsville, PA. This is about 1 hour north of Reading. While living in an apartment, it took us 3 years to find our home that we have now lived in for the last 1...Expand for more
2 years,it is in the town of Port Carbon. I currently work for an orthodontist that is about 10 minutes from my house and have been with him for the last 8 years. Joe has been working with the Department of Corrections for the last 15 years.
I lost my father to Stage IV lung cancer in July of 2006. It was the worst time of my life. I still miss him every day. He was always the person I admired most in life and taught me so many values and also taught me so much in life. He was an amazing person. I love you Dad! In September of 2007, I, myself was diagnosed with cancer. That was a very scary time. It was removed and I am currently in remission. I still have to go every few months for follow ups but it looks good right now thank God.
We do enjoy camping and traveling as much as possible. We also enjoy going fishing when we have the opportunity. Sundays are always spent watching Nascar at home or going to the track to see it. We just love any outdoor activities.
We try to come to Jersey as much as possible for visits to see family and friends. I am always amazed with the changes in the area each time I come home.
Would really love to hear from anyone willing to write. Just drop me a note. Thanks for stopping by to visit! :) Deanna
