Yes, she is definitely a redhead. Red hair and freckles. She has really pretty eyes, too. They're a lot like my wife's - green and hazel and a bit of blue. An odd combination, but it's the first thing I noticed when I met her. I also thought she bore a resemblance to Jodie Foster.
Her younger sister is more of a strawberry blonde and has bigger boobs. Not grotesquely big, but a very nice figure. I know she played volleyball in high school. She's in her second year at a community college now. Like "Becca", she's a very sweet girl, but just plain old dumb.
I have a buddy of mine here in town who went to high school with "Becca" look at these pictures, just to confirm my suspicions. I didn't grow up here, whereas he did. She did, too, and he's known her all his life and says it is most definitely her. He thinks he might have a picture of her somewhere that he can send me.
He's pretty sure an old boyfriend of hers took these. He knew the guy, said he was a dirt bag, and is now serving time in prison for the manufacture and distribution of meth. Gee, what a great guy! Anyway, my friend says "Becca" dated the guy for a few months, while she and her regular boyfriend (and now current husband) were broken up.
Apparently there was a rumor that her meth boyfriend took some nudie pics of her, although she denied it. Well, I guess he was telling the truth, huh?!
Once I get the recent picture of her, I'll post it. But let me tell you, she looks different. Not entirely, but you can see she's aged a lot in the last ten years. Honest to God, the first time I met her, I would have sworn she was in her early 30s. I about crapped my pants, when she told my wife and I that she was only 24.
But I think she's had somewhat of a rough time of it over the last ten years, too. First of all, her mom committed suicide, while "Becca" was still in high school. I don't know the exact details, but from what people say here in town, she was screwing around with a married man (and she was married, too). She wanted to be with this other guy, instead of her husband, but I guess this guy only wanted the sex. So, he told her to take a hike. Well, I guess she didn't handle the rejection too good, so she got her husband's shotgun, drove out to her boyfriend's farm, and blew her head off in his garage.
I think it goes without saying, it hit their family hard. Not only the sudden suicide, but to find out she was having an affair.
Then "Becca" had plans to go to college. From what my friend tells me, she was a top-notch student in high school, but had a tendency to go for the "Bad Boys". Well, her current husband got her pregnant, to make sure she didn't run off with some college boy she met at school, never to return to this hick town. And that's rather common in these small towns: lots of ugly redneck guys dating hometown beauties. They get the girl pregnant, so she doesn't run off to the big city and realize she's been wasting her time with these other bozos.
She told me once that she had always dreamed of being a photographer for one of the big wire services. That's what she was studying in college. She was only there for three semesters, before getting pregnant. Then she had to drop out to take care of the kids.
And "Becca" didn't pick a real winner to be the father of her children. This guy -no exageration- is the epitome of stupid. He's a big fat lazy knucklehead. To see them together, you think, "What the hell is SHE doing with HIM?" Same old story repeated hundreds of times, I'm sorry to say.
So now they live on the edge of town on what would pass as a farm. They actually have a rather large house, too. I know they raise a few goats and chickens. Their kids are absolute brats. I hate to say bad things about someone's kids, but... it's true. Maybe they'll prove me wrong and grow up to be brain surgeons, but I wouldn't wager money on it. Her husband's family are all Xerox copies of him: fat, dumb, and lazy. My wife's an attorney and did a background check on "Becca" and her husband, before we started taking our daughter to her for daycare. She turned up clean, but not so her husband. Mostly, he had the usual speeding tickets (and lots of them), driving while revoked, driving while intoxicated, hunting out of season, hunting without a license, and petty theft as a minor. He's basically harmless, but not what you would call the ideal role model for children.
Anyway, I haven't seen her in a while, which is odd, considering how small this town is and how close we live to one another. If I was single, sure, I'd try to steal her away from her dipshit husband. Like I said, "Becca" is sort of dopey, but just the sweetest person. My wife and I think she's still a fourteen-year-old girl trapped in the body of a twenty-eight-year-old woman.
Her life is just a sad, sad story.
I did find one lousy picture of her on my wife's old laptop. It's not the best, but it's the only one I could find at the moment. I was picking my daughter up from her house.
