I just copied and pasted mine from my notes on face book.
1. At 16 I received a college degree. I am now 20 and still don't have a career because what I want to do isn't available for me until next summer.
2. I have been fighting with my Mom since I was 8, when my Father died, regarding anything and everything that has to do with me. If I want something one way, she wants it the opposite, kind of like teenage rebellion? only in my Mother.
3. At 16 I lived on the streets for exactly 74 days? I made more and better friends on the streets than ever in my life, including now.
4. I've never been able to maintain friendships; they always seem to center around drama.
5. That said, I have only 5 people I talk to on a regular basis that I consider "friends" and I would give my life for any/all of them if needed. Two moved to MO, one is my ex coworker, the other her husband, the last one is my fianc?e.
6. I am quite obsessed with the Sims 2 and am currently building 2 different houses.
7. Lately I feel like everyone around me is having children, people who have made it explicitly clear they don't want them or hate them, I wonder more and more why God took my angels from me and Ethan.
8. I think that by Ethan and I choosing to wait until we are married and have bought a house we will be better, more dedicated, and more mature parents, hopefully giving our children more opportunity to strive and succeed than we would be able to now.
9. At least "#8" is what I tell myself to get me through the next 7+ years of waiting to hold our first child.
10. I love doing foster care for the MCACC (pound) with kittens and older dogs. I am notorious for requesting the smallest and sickest kittens? then when they die I sob. Then I go do it again.
11. My step dad and mom broke up before they were ever officially married when I was 14 on new years eve, my mom went out and bought us each a 6 pack of wine coolers and a 5th of vodka.
12. My Fianc?e and I are together by chance; we met while on dates with other people and my lover at the time cheated on me with him, he and I didn't put 2 and 2 together until a few weeks later. That's what really drew us together; a month later he took me home to the family and we've been inseparable since.
13. When I was in elementary school I played hockey, the coach said I had a true talent and was gifted? little did he know I only played to get my aggression out and aim it towards to kids who made fun of me. I was asked to quit after aiming pucks at kids' heads.
14. I have smoked cigs, weed, and drank - I don't anymore.
15. I want to have 4 successful pregnancies? I hope to have twins with one of these.
16. My lifetime dream is to be a home maker and stay at home mom while doing emergency foster care for children of all ages. I also want to adopt 2 little girls from China, one little boy with Down Syndrome, and 1 or 2 teenagers.
17. I love the American Family Jon & Kate + 8 because I feel it shows that all things are possible within a family.
18. I love documenting my life through pictures.
19. Ethan and I are going to be wed on our 10 year anniversary.
20. I am on a kind-of-strict lifestyle/eating change to lose weight and beef up my muscles for the Police Academy.
21. I hate doing laundry.
22. Our children are currently 3 kitties and 2 puppies, plus 7 fish.
23. I love to read and will read about anything you give me.
24. I am kind of obsessed with plans and budgets and lists, so much so I have 14 year plan. Literally.
25. I love to bake ?when I have time? in my own kitchen.
