I have been asked by a couple of people about how I ended up where I ended up. I mean, how did I end up in a little town in Oklahoma.
Well here goes
I got married in July '86, right out of high school to Gayle Rowley. Gayle is the son of Dean Rowley and Betty Jenson who currently live in Talmage, UT.
Yes, he is related to the Rowley's from Duchesne, but 2nd or 3rd cousins or something like that. He was raised in Salt Lake.
So we spent our first few years in various places in the Salt Lake Valley - SLC, West Valley, we had two sons, then we moved to Colorado in '88 hoping for a job, but that was a bust and Gayle joined the Army. He went to Basic/AIT, the hardship to Korea (1 year unaccompanied) that was extended because of Persian Gulf in '91.
He finally got back and we moved to Colorado Springs (one more kid - a daughter) and stayed for years, then to Ft Leonard Wood, MO where Gayle did drill duty then instructor - we found God. It was a good duty station.
He went back to Korea for hardship in '05, then we moved to Ft Sill, OK - where he was off again to Iraq. He came back, he couldn't pass a PT test due to injuries received during his time in the Army and he got out.
He got a job as a corrections officer at the prison.
Our kids are now 21, 20, and 17 (on the 26th)
I could get more deeply into it, and will if you ask......... if not.......... I'll call it good.
My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever. Psalms 73:26
