8 things you may not have known about me:
1. My goal in life was always to have babies, raising my girls is the only career I have ever wanted.
2. I love customer service, waitressing, in particular. My favorite jobs have all been in restaurants.
3. When I was in middle school I couldn't sleep one night, so I repeated the alphabet backwards over and over...the next morning I had it memorized and I never forgot it.
4. I love to dance. Love love love it. I spent many of my youngers days on the dance floor, mostly at country dance clubs, line dancing. I would love to start doing it again.
5. My stepson Jacob was one of the biggest reasons I fell in love with my husband.
6. I got a 3 day in-school suspension in high school for fighting. It wasn't really a fight at all, but the teacher who saw the confrontation did not like me, so he exaggerated things. Those three days were my three favorite days of my high school career.
7. Some nights at bedtime I have mini panic attacks, worrying that I may not wake up and will leave my husband and kids on their own. It's one of my worst fears...that I will die and leave everything to my husband to do himself. Of course along with that I fear losing my husband or one of my babies. I usually have to get out of bed and read a book for awhile to calm myself.
8. I have serious anxiety around people who are sick and throwing up. I get nervous and nauseous if someone mentions they have a stomach ache.
