Life as I know it

I was born in North Chattanooga, February 5th 1959
I believe we lived in North Chattanooga until I was 4, then we moved to Red Bank.
I grew up on Lamar Ave, went to Red Bank all through school.
The 1st job I had was @ Shoney's in Red Bank. For 2 years I stayed at that job. I was a server and sometimes a hostess.
After Shoney's, I worked @ a grocery store called Shop Rite as a cashier.
The next job I had was @ a gas station called Kayo in Red Bank.
This is where I met Darryl, who I married and had my son Erik by. We stayed together a little over 3 years.
Later, I married again. Stayed married for a couple of years.
In 1985, Ronnie (my husband, who I have known since I was 9 from Alpine church) came by my parents where I was staying . He had a son named Nathan, and , a daughter named Brooke. He had been married to Nancy Smith from school. They divorced and he had custody of the children.
About a week or 2 later, I went to see him at his place he had on Basswood Dr., I never left, that was February 16th 1985.
March 2, of that year, we got married. Now together we had 3 children.
In 1987 we had a dughter together, we named her Amber :}. When Amber was 11 months old, I got pregnant with our second daughter. We named her Candice :}
In 1991 we found a house in Brainerd. Later we purchased this house.
In 2000, for reasons I am not disclosing, I took Amber and Candice to Florida, where we lived until 2004.
I worked as a housekeeper and desk clerk @ Manatee Suites from May 2000 until February 2004. The hotel was a small property and was on the beach.
We started out in a room, moved to an apartment on the property. Later we moved to a nice townhouse on Palmetto Ave. We loved this place!
All the time we were in Florida Ronnie came down every 2 or 3 months, sometimes more often.
In 2001, Ronnie divorced me, later telling me this in an email.
On September 23rd 2003 Brooke had a son, Evan :}
In 2003 Amber got pregnant and on December 30th 2003, had my wonderful granddaughter..Audrey.
In February 2004, we moved back to Chattanooga. In 2006 Candice and I got an apartment in Red Bank.
I had the impression that Ronnie and I would remarry. This didn't happen until 2007. March 2nd 2007 we got remarried at the Chapel in Ringgold Ga. Finally a church wedding with a preacher! Needless to say, Candice and I moved back to the house :} <3 Home Sweet Home <3
I have worked for over 5 years now for Walmart. A few jobs in between the first 2 years @ the Brained Walmart and 3 @ the Hixson Walmart.
Ronnie had a job for over 22 years @ Arcade printing. In November 2008 he and all his co workers were permanently laid off from Arcade.
Now comes the part of Life as I know it..........
