Life Hello everyone, After high school I headed to SJState. I lasted a year and then headed to work as a telephone operator with Pacific Telephone way back then. I was married to David Hillhouse from 1970-1997. We had 4 children Michele 37, Shanon 35, Patrick 30 and Ryanne 28. We have 14 grandchildren but have lost contact with 3 of them. We have a new great grandson-Aiden who arrived on July 1st. My son was in an 8 yr relationship and I consider his s/o's children my grandchildren, too. The two he is raising are the 2 they had together. They have moved back here to Iowa...last December & are living with us. However they will be moving to their own apt on Oct 1st. My son soon works 2nd shift for Con Agra and I have the kids from about 5:30p - 9pm awake and then they go to sleep - hopefully. My husband and I split in 1997.......my mom passed away in 1998 and I became the proverbial basketcase. I had decided to move to Iowa in 2000. I have relatives here and I wanted a change. Through mutual friends I met John. We were together 2.5 years and then married in 9/02 in a courtroom in downtown Omaha - in shorts and jeans. We came out to CA in 6/03 and we reaffirmed our vows in the Methodist Church in Rancho Cordova, CA. Our family and friends were able to join us. John has 3 children Lenelle, 31, Andrew, 29 and Benjamin who passed away in 2005 at the age of 25.. He died in 2005 of natural causes. A very sad time for us. The year before in 2004 John's daughter presented him with his first grandchild Elayna - soon to be 4. John was widowed in 1999 and I have been priviledged to be Elayna's Gramma. I have not worked for 8 years and still can't get used to all the free time....Expand for more
