After getting out of active duty military, Virgil decided that he was going to move us back to Utah where he was from. I have to admit that Utah is not my favorite place in the world. Yes, it has beautiful mountains and lovely places to visit, but truthfully I HATE THE SNOW!!!!! The first place we moved to when we came to Utah was to an apt. in American Fork. It was right off of Main Street going out of town. It was more of a town home instead of an apartment. We lived there for awhile and while we were there Steven and Thomas started school. Steven went into the first grade and Thomas was in Kindergarten. Johnathan was 3 years old and Casey was about 6 months old. We lived there for awhile and than we moved to a duplex in Pleasant Grove. While we were living there Kayla was born. And we lived there until the owner sold the duplex to some other people and they were going to fix it up for themselves and some relatives to live in. So we moved into a trailer in Pleasant Grove. And this is where Vanessa was born. So now we had all six of our children and living in a three bedroom trailer. And even though we did move to another three bedroom it was into another duplex up where we had lived before. And I have to tell you that the bedrooms in a duplex is alot bigger than those of a trailer. This is where we lived when Virgil and I separated and eventually divorced. After about 4 years of separation and than the divorce, I had met someone that I had fallen deeply in love with. In fact I swear to this day that Tim was my soul mate. Tim was from North Salt Lake and him and I met on the Internet. It took me along time to allow myself to actually meet him face to face. But once I did I think it was love at first sight. Tim and I were married in January of 2000. And together we loved and supported our children (all 11 of them). Tim had 5 children from his first marriage and I had 6 from my marriage to Virgil. Eventually we moved to Tooele so that we could be closer to his work. Tim worked for the military base over there working on their computers. We bought us a beautiful home and started to build our lives together. But there was one thing wrong with that. His ex wife did not like the fact that her children liked my kids and myself and we had become very close. So she started making demands on him and telling him that he could not see his kids unless he left me. And as much as he loved me we both knew that he had to put his children first. So we divorced only after 15 months of marriage, but we did remain friends for as long as I lived in Tooele. But life became too difficult for me living in Tooele and being so close to Tim and us no longer being married. So my children and I packed up our stuff and moved to Lehi. We lived there for awhile and while we were there I decided to go back to school to get my degree. So I started at Stevens Henager College in Provo in June of 2001 and I finally graduated with my Associates and Bachelors in Business in June of 2006. Since than my children and I have moved back to Pleasant Grove and loving it here.
