Gloria's Story
Quite a bit has evolved since my school days. Of course being young and do I dare say "stupid" I was married and had a child while still in school and another child afterwards. My marraige lasted about 2 1/2 yrs so I was a divorcee..LOL, by the ripe age of 19 1/2 with two daughters.
After that I got my first job at the A&P for $1.10 an hr. as a cashier, can you imagine...LOL, I hopped around different jobs and eventually settled in as a bartender on the Lakehurst Navy Base where I met my second husband in 1976 and we were married in Oct 1977. I had the opportunity to go to the island of Crete in Greece for 6 months right after our wedding. After Greece we were stationed in Virginia where I became very active in the Navy Relief, became an Ombudsman and President of the USS Inchon Wives Club. We had 2 beautiful daughters which makes 4 in all (not 1 boy).Our marraige lasted 10 years before we parted as friends and I moved back to N.J.
Once again I went back to the Navy base where I worked at the Commissary Store as a Front End/Assistant Manager and bought a house in Lakehurst.
In 1990 I sold the...Expand for more
house and quit my job with plans on moving back to Virginia but things fell through at the last minute so again I bounced around a few jobs before going to work for my brother-in-laws fireplace company and buying another house in Barnegat near my brother. That lasted about a year or two when I put it up for sale and packed up and headed for Virginia with my 2 younger girls.
I have been with Bank of America for the past 8 years and lived in Virginia for 5 yrs before moving to North Carolina and buying a house with my youngest daughter & grandson. My other daugher and son-in-law bought a house across the street and I get to see 3 of my 7 grandchildren every day (# 8 is on the way).
So there you have it, not very interesting but I have also been able to travel a little through Maine, Vermont, Georgia, Florida & Hawaii.
I am a coffeeholic and live on pretzels, odd combination I know...LOL
I have been a single parent for 22yrs and now after 12 yrs of not dating (no it's not a typo) I am trying to fly my childrens nest and venture out on my own and find Mr. Right and just relax and enjoy myself.
