I was born the youngest of four--I have an older sister and two older brothers, and we go 23, 24, 25, 26. My parents had their hands quite full. Mom stayed at home with us until I was 4, and then she went to college and got her degree in Microbiology. She works as a med tech now. My dad worked as a mechanic most of my life, or as supervisor at any rate.
My hometown was very small, very close knit--most of the kids that went to kindergarten with me also graduated with me. I was in the marching and symphonic bands--bass trombone. We won state marching competition, which was pretty cool. I also did yearbook and the school newspaper, literary criticism, and was almost embarrassingly active in church youth group (I was at the building 5-6 days out of the week).
After high school, I went to Lubbock Christian University--there, I met Michael. He is some kind of wonderful. We had our beautiful daughter Emerald after nearly two years of dating, and got married a few months later. It was a lovely wedding--fall jewel colors, theme of "happily ever after". When Emerald was 17 months old, we had Gabriel. They are neat kids.
After Emerald was born, I changed my major from Biology to Business, which I found a great deal less stressful. I am still going nearly three years later--bleg. Michael and I are still very happy--he's my bestie best. I think that's all!!
