Memories

Just recently, I was given the best gift. I sent a message to my oldest brother and got caught up in memories. I won't share all of those that he and I spoke of, mostly because I am sure no one else would understand. However, I was sent down memory lane so I thought I would give you a quick timeline of the life of Ginger.

1972 - born
1977 - started my school career in Guthrie, Oklahoma and met my best friends for the rest of my school days and still at large - Sandy and Gerri
1988- two weeks before Christmas and in my junior year of high school, moved to Moore, Oklahoma
1989 - moved to podunk-nowhere Arkansas (hated it and can't stand this time of my life so I will move forward)
1990 - graduated high school (barely because life was so friggin' miserable)
1992 - enlisted in the US Army - went to basic at Ft. Leonardwood, MO and AIT in San Antonio, TX (Ft. Sam Houston)
1992 - May - went to my first duty station at Ft. Rucker, AL. Met two of my best friends in the whole world (Mischa and Lori) - Have lived several lives with them *Gulf Port, MS*
1993 - Met and married my husband, Jeff (and gained a daughter - Lauren).
1994 - Had Comanche and moved to Heidelberg, Germany.
1995 - I got out of the Army and started working for the Univ. of MD - Heidelberg Division
1997 - Jeff and I left the Army (totally) and moved to Kentucky and started our new lives as civilians. We both earned our bachelor degrees and I went on to get my masters from Western Kentucky University and sometime in there began teaching, where I met Amy and several other people whom I have had fantastic memories with.
2004 - taught high school (English) at Cloverport
2005 - taught middle school Language Arts in Daviess County with Sara, Jennifer, Barbie, and Cathy
currently - still teaching and have included teaching college classes (English).

I know that was a brief synopsis, but if you know me at all, then you know where you fit in the life of Ginger. For example - I have three brothers and two sisters-in-law, I have four nephews, and three nieces (whom I completely adore) and talk to my mom just about every single day. I love my family and am always there for my friends. I support my students, and get a kick out of middle school drama (until it gets old0, and LOVE LOVE LOVE summer vacations.

All in all - that is me and the timeline of my mind music. Now maybe when you read the posts, they make a little more sense. Love to all.
