Marlene Bledsoe Bowden

First 15 years spent wasting time and energy on all the wrong things (except having my kids!) Now I'm loving being a grandma to Koury (6), Jason (15 months), Scarlett (3 months) and Kieran, born August 30. Married to Derek 30 yrs in May. Love that man more now than I ever knew I could! God has blessed me in ways I simply do not deserve. Loving and appreciating life now!

I was too shy in school. Met my hubby just before Sr. year. Well that was an experience! We won 1 football game the whole time I was there! I felt so inferior back then! Boy has that changed!!! Best thing about High School? I got out! Oh, and Harry Bleatler and "yard apes!" OK, so "old-timers" has set in and Harry did NOT make the yard ape comment! Sorry Harry! I so wish I could remember that guys name!!
