Submitted to Contest #266

The wedding plans for Chelsea were completed. We would do a follow-up two days before the event. Andrea had an event scheduled for the children’s ward at the local hospital.

Author bio

I'm just a simple country girl from Alabama. We grew up poor as compared to some others. I have had many life experiences which included 2 marriages and 2 divorces. I gave birth to 5 children, the last two were twins on Christmas day. Did various civilian jobs. My biggest accomplishment career-wise was spending a little over 21 years in the National Guard (Air/Army). I was a Telecommunications Operations Specialist in the Air Guards for 3 years. and the remainder of my time in the Army National Guard I was trained as a Personnel Management Specialist, Lightweight Vehicle Mechanic, and my last 6 years as a Range Control/EOC desk operator. I retired in 2006 and just lived life. I wrote some poetry from my teen years into adulthood. I am working on my first book and will dedicate it to my oldest daughter who was 51 when she passed away after being hospitalized for five months with multiple issues after having open heart surgery this year. Well, that is the highlight so to speak. Oh, I have 6 grandkids and one on the way.
