Andrea Witte (Frens),
awitte5_3@excite.com
Just wanted to drop a quick line about what's been
going on in my life since 2000. I moved to
Connecticut and May of 2002 I married Jason Witte.
He is in the Navy and is stationed in Groton, CT at
the Groton/New London Submarine Base. We have been
doing very well and are have been trying to expand
our family for almost 3 years now. I haven't been
back to school yet but hope to VERY SOON! It has
definately been a different experience being a "Navy
wife" than a student. The most difficult times were
when Jason had to go on 6-7 month deployments. He
was gone over 9/11. Overall, it has been wonderful
since graduation. Hope everyone else is doing just
as well.
