Hi - this is me: Barb Orthman. Born and raised in Berlin, Germany, I moved to Washington, D.C. in my early twenties via a job share. I hated D.C.! Where were the cowboys I had read about, and the prairies? Luckily, I had good friends who lived in Texas - so, off I went. Landing in Dallas, I knew I was home. I met and fell in love with an Air Force fly boy and, wouldn't you know it, within six months I was back in Germany - he had gotten orders. But, just a couple of years later we came back to the States and made our home in San Bernardino, CA. Loved it! So much for the "early years."
Between then and now I
- joined the U.S. Army
- got divorced
- got married
- got out of the Army
- lived in Washington state, Ohio, Indiana, Colorado
- got divorced
- got married
- lived in Colorado (again), Texas, Virginia, Nevada
- got divorced
- lived in Indiana, Colorado (3rd time!)
- got married
- have lived happily ever since!
Going back to school at Ashford University has been my latest adventure. It is so interesting to learn a little bit about the lives of other people, and to hopefully learn things that can be of benefit, even at this stage in my life. And now a blog; I've never dreamt I would write a blog. Who would care what I have to say? Wow...
