Ginger's Life

I was born on a Sunday afternoon, which my parents never let me forget. My mother told me that her regular doctor was out of town the day I was born and she ended up having a stranger deliver me. When her doctor got back he said, "How was I supposed to know that your daughter would be born on her due date? That never happens." My father kept reminding me that I was born at an inconvient time for him because he ended up missing the Seahawks game. Funny thing is that he remembers missing the game but not who won. I lived most of my life in Rochester Washington. It is a small town about twenty miles from Olympia. I went to private school for most of my education. I did however attend and graduated from Rochester High School. While in high school I became involved in the drama program. One of my favorite plays I was in was titled //Seven Brides for Dracula//. I was cast as one of the two odd sisters. The two odd sisters had a bad habit of poisoning people whether they were friends of enemies. I became very good friends with the Jacob, who was cast as Dracula. Ironically I didn't realize that years later we would cross paths once again. Jacob and I remained good friends throughout my senior year. After that his parent's went thorough a divorce and he moved to Reno. I found out from his brother that he had joined the navy a few years after moving to Reno. After I attended Centralia college and earned my AA degree. While I was attending Centralia College I gave birth to my first son. I named him Ryan. As a single mom I worked retail to support myself and my son. I worked for Sears for three years than I started working at Fred Meyer. I worked there for five years before coming to Eastern to earn my BAE degree. While I was in my third year working for Fred Meyer, I was received a surprise visitor. I was in the middle of the end of season markdowns for the children's department my old friend Jacob came by to see me. I told my manager that I was going to take my break because I hadn't seen my friend in several years. He told me that he was finished with his active duty in the navy and was curious if I'd like to catch up on old times. I said of course and invited to my house for dinner that evening. We had agreed on seven for dinner. I had everything cooked and the table set by seven. Jacob ended up showing up almost forty five minutes late. We had a great dinner even though it was started late. After dinner was over and I was clearing the table, Jacob asked if he could do the dishes. We had such a good time that evening that we didn't even noticed that it had started to snow. When Jacob went to leave his car was so badly buried in snow that he ended up staying the night. The snow hadn't cleared up any by morning and the storm lasted all weekend long. We realized at the end of our snowed in weekend that we never wanted to be apart. In September of that same year we got married. Our family was then blessed by the arrival of three children. Our sons Justice, and Keevan and our daughter Jerica. Our son Justice was first to join our family. I was still working at Fred Meyer when he was born. I remember that day well I was on my lunch break when my water broke. I called Jacob and told him my water broke and I needed to be taken to the hospital. Somehow in all of his excitement he only heard water broke and hospital. He ended up going to the hospital and forgot to get me first. An hour later my manager drove me to the hospital to meet him and have our baby. To this day Jacob hasn't lived it down. When our daughter Jerica was born it was my dad who said that she needed to be born before 12 noon so that he would miss his baseball game. When Keevan was due my mom said I needed to have him before she went home because she had taken her vacation the week he was due. Both of our youngest were accommodating to thier grandparents. Jerica was born at 11:45am and Keevan was born the day after my mom showed up for her vacation.
