Christine's Story
Life
I now live in Chattanooga, TN. Been here 19 yrs. I love the greenery here, less hassle, traffic is nothing like Ca. I love it here. There is part city but woods and mountains too. A lot of wild life. Everything is green here. The weather here is hot in the summertime and snow at times in the winter. We had a mild winter with a few days of snow this past year. The south is very humid during the summer but this year it has been mild with cooler evenings. My latest treasure is my new 2020 Kia Rio. I do miss my Honda though. The Covid kept me mostly indoors except during my travels to see my dad. Been clean from cancer 6 years now Yeah! Still going to doctors appointments every month though. Planning to travel more as soon as this virus is gone. Getting impatient cause I always go on my casino trips 2 to 3 times a year and the casinos are slowly opening with lots of caution

is now married to my cousin Rodney Matias. I went to my junior prom with Ron Nicholas and went to my senior prom with David, I forgot his last name. I never really dated during high school since I came from a strick family, but I did have someone dear to my heart that I had company with, and after high school I dated John Destacamento and was engaged to him, and later we got a home but then grew apart and I moved on with my life. I haven't seen him in 21 years but my brother says he's doing well. Thank you John. I finally was able to contact him. Thanks to facebook messenger.
