1. i am the youngest of 4 - 2 brothers, 1 sister & my parents are still married after 41+ years
2. i got engaged to my hubby after just 5 months of dating (but we were friends for 6 yrs before that)
3. i lived for 2 years after high school in Fort Chipewyan AB, a remote northern village only accessible by plane or boat, or ice-road in the winter
4. i had my son at 16 & my daughter at 25
5. i also had 4 angel babies; ectopic pregancies are the scariest & saddest thing to have ever happened to me
6. i was born in good ol' saskatchewan (yes, all my halloween costumes fit over my snowsuit, the only traffic jams were slow moving cars following a tractor down the road, and i did, in fact, watch my dog run away for 3 days straight)
7. one of my life goals is to travel on volunteer overseas missions, helping build clean wells & new schools & anything i can do to help out (more likely to happen once my kids get bigger)
8. i purchase green & natural & organic & local as often as possible. im always driving to farmers markets, nearby farm stores, or spending hours in the aisles of the local grocery store, reading labels & looking for alternatives
9. i beat the odds of most teen parents, and graduated high school & college, & never went on welfare even though at one point i was supporting myself & my son on less then $600 a month, paying rent, insurance, food, bills, daycare, gas, etc.
10. i've broken both my arms, my collarbone, 3 fingers, my tailbone, 2 toes & 2 teeth. and cracked my head open & needed 6 stitches (yes. that makes me a clutz)
