This was not easy for me to do, but I hope you all enjoy it. :)


100 Things About Me

3. I have two children that I could not live without.

4. When I was pregnant with said children, I was sick everyday of my pregnancy.

5. With my oldest, I was sick clear up until the month after she was born. Go figure.

6. I was with some friends and we were wanting to watch a movie. One friend wanted to watch a movie I was not comfortable with and even though we argued about it, I wouldn't let up and we ended up watching something else. Another guy in the group saw this and asked me out on my first date.

7. The above guy turned out to be a pain in later years.

8. I had more fun at my junior prom than my senior prom.

9. I asked someone to senior prom and even paid for everything because I really wanted to go.
