All About Me!!!

So here is a random list of things about yours truly.......i'm sure it is much more info than anyone cares to know about me but I hope one day my kids will find it interesting...........so feel free to read it or not!!!!

1. I Hate chocolate.  I've heard other people say they don't like chocolate and then you see them eat a handful of M & M's, you won't catch me eating it at all, I HATE it!

2. However, I do like white chocolate.

3. My favorite color is Purple!

7. I've had my heart broken beyond broken but in the end it all worked out.

8. I don't necessarily believe in soulmates but if there is such a thing then I know that I am with mine!

9. I flipped my car onto it's side when I was 16, it left a nasty gash on my wrist and a steering wheel mark on my forehead. I was momentarily unconscience and it was the only time I rode in an ambulance.

10. The EMT offered me a teddy bear but I was 16 and that wouldn't have been cool so I declined.

11. After talking to my brother my friend Kristin ran all the way from her house to where I wrecked because she thought I was dead. I wasn't just mild injuries. The little girls whose house I wrecked in front of , told her mom there was a dead girl in their yard. Her mom came and helped me out of the car.

12. I met Chet in a bar called Overtime when I was 20, I had a fake ID. I spent more time in bars before I was 21 than after.

13. I thought he had a son name Justin, he didn't, he had a son named Cheston.

21. I got Jubilee when I was in 2nd grade and she died when I was 18, that would be the first time I ever had a broken heart.

22. Brooke and Jake were the rottweilers I had when I met Chet, I had to find them a more appropriate home, my heart broke then too.

23. There was something about those dogs and me that I cannot explain, I loved them but they went to a good home with lots of room to run.

24. The car I flipped onto it's side was known as "Thumper" by my friends and I. Me and Bobby McGee by Janis Joplin was played a lot in that car.

43. that's why I have been surprised by facebook and all of the people that actually do remember me.
