Sometimes People come back from your past, because they are meant to be in your future...

I've led a crazy life. I lived in Temecula untill I was 15. Then I moved to Germany and went to school in The Netherlands, at Afcent High for my softmore year. My junior year I moved to another part of Germany and went to Zweibrucken HIgh, I met my first love there, but because of being a military/government we were seperated by being moved. My senior year we moved yet again, this time to Louisiana and I went to DeRidder High. I then moved back to Cali, then on to Arizona. After a couple years of living in Arizona I entered into a very dark time in my life. I completely and utterly lost myself and my way.( And for any of you reading this that entered into my life at that very dark stage, all I can say is that I'm so very sorry.That was not me) Those of you who stuck through me through that dark stage, thank you so very much. Oncy I pulled myself out of that hell I was in, things evened out, and I found myself again.
Then I found out, our Zweibrucken high reunion was going to be held in Las Vegas. I emailed an old friend Jeff Rankin, to let him know the details. The reunion came and went and I never heard from him. Then a year later he emailed and asked when the reunion would be? I told him he was 1 year too late, but he could come to Arizona and hang with Beth and I. So he showed from Florida, 1 month later. Although we were only friends in high school, something was different when we remet. After 2 days, we realized we were going to be more then friends. He came back to visit me in Arizona 1 month later, and we drove to Lauglin to meet up with my parents. The next month he flew me to Washington D.C. there he proposed to me on the Potomac River. Two months later I left ARizona, my job and removed my son from school and went to California. That is where Jeff and i were married. The day after our wedding we drove cross country to Daytona Beach Florida. We are now coming up on our 8th year anniversary, and have 3 children total together.
Jeff is in a band and works 2 jobs, djing and is a network engineer. I am a bartender and read tarot cards for work.
I am so very happy now, and am still head over heals in love with my amazing husband. I always thought after a couple years couples sorta get complacent with their relationship. But that's not the case, I still get butterfly's in my stomach when I see Jeff and it's been 8 years. My 3 children are my heart and soul and they definitly light up my life. My brother Jonny lives in my town, not only is he my brother but he is one of my best friends. I guess that about sums my life up.
