I was born on 20th March 1965 at the district hospital Junee, NSW. My Parents & Brother Paul Ian lived at 10 Hammond st, Junee at the time. Dad was in the RAAF but got out and was in the railways when he had me. He rejoined lthe RAAF later, & we got posted around-we were in Malaysia 1969-1970, various places in Queensland & NSW. When my family got posted to Amberly,QLD.in the early 1980;s, my brother Paul & myself (15-16 yrs old) stayed in Windsor-Richmond area NSW. When i was about 20 yrs i moved up to Walloon where my parents had their first home (Dad got out the RAAF after 25 yrs service). It was 3 bedroom brick veneer. My brother had moved back earlier and had one bedroom, my 2 sisters shared a room, & i was on a fold up bed in my parents room. ( I felt out of place & uncomfortable. ) i got a job as a waitress at the local hotel and met my first Husband there. We were married on 16 may 1987 at penola resturant Minden, Qld. We seperated in 1989 & divorced 24 August 1990. the marriage broke down due to his drining. i was living with my sister for awhile after. I met my 2nd Husband on new years eve 1989 at their party-( my other sister's Husband played soccer with all the Beaman boys while i was with my 1st husband), my sister,s & brother was invited to the party & they brought me along. Sean & me got on and continued to talk after & later moved in together. We were married 15th August 1992 at the celebrants home n Ipswich Qld. We tried for children for awhile and after alot of trouble finally was blessed with a Beautiful daughter on 19th August 1994, unfortunatly we wern't so lucky to have more, but i felt blessed to have the one. I named her after my maternal gran-Emily & my mum Diana. We moved around Queensland a bit and in 1995 we moved to Hamilton Vic. ( my whole family ended up moving the same year their), it was my mum's birthplace & family home. it always felt like home to me as moving around all my life we never had a home. We had a hard but comfortable life there, full of lifes ups and downs. Sean was very much into soccer all his life, and in early 2000's we met a new player who joined the team- later in December 2006 he asked us to move to Mackay Qld with him. Sean agreed, so on a whim we sold nearly everything, packed up the van and trailer and headed north. Both Myself & Sean ended up working in the base hospital. In 2010 Sean decided to leave me & our girl and went to live back in Hamilton Vic with my sister. we got dirvorced on 7 Aug. 2011. I loved it in Mackay as did my girl, so we stayed. Later in early Feb 2012 i met Steven, we just conected & have been together ever since. Emily decided to move to Brisbane where her dad was around 2013. In 2020 i got Breast cancer, and after such a bad year with that & other things, we got married at Eungella Qld. we had a medieval wedding with only a few Family & friends. My whole family were still in Vic. My Daughter came up for the wedding & put it on live feed via the net for my Family in Vic. Steve is a gem facetor, & a very good one ( after buggering his back in 3 places due to pannel beating). We have a small online business selling gemstones.
