Fun Facts about me:

My parents are both from the Panhandle.
My parents met at ACU.
After graduation my Dad joined the Navy as a pilot.
I went to ACU for three semesters. I am not very good in school. I think it was all that moving around as a kid.
I was born in Pensacola, FL.
I was the only one in my whole entire family who was NOT born in Texas. :(
I went eight different schools.
I only have one cousin on my Dad's side and only three cousins on my Mom's side.
I was the only granddaughter on my Dad's side.
My brother was the only grandson on my Mom's side.
I saw kids doing drugs and overdosing on drugs at school while I was in the 7th and 8th grade.
During that time we lived in San Jose, CA.
I had a crush on our paperboy in California, who happened to live down the street from us.
My Uncle Johnny teased me about this for many years.
I loved the church we went while living in Buffalo Grove, IL.
Ron Goldman (think Nicole Simpson) and Vince Vaughn both are from Buffalo Grove.
I had to change schools between my junior and senior year. It was not fun.
My first high school was small and about 98% white upper middle class.
My second high school was very large and about 40% regular or lower middle class.
The school was in the process of integration and most were not happy. We had race riots. One time I actually climbed a really high chain link fence to escape.
I met the Do0bie Brothers while I was at ACU.
I have had 11 jobs in my life.
I have been at my current job for 19 years.
I can retire in 52 months.
I have alot of things I wish I could have done differently while raising my kids.
Both of my kids turned out really good.
I have one son and one daughter.
My son is very very funny and happy.
At age 50 I met and married the most wonderful man. I am blessed to be his wife.
We believe that God brought us together and we are so thankful.

I am writing all of these things because Dan has "The USS Enterprise" on AGAIN. I know every story that ever happen on or near the USS Enterprise. I could tell you that aircraft carrier's whole life story. Seriously. Sometimes when I fall asleep at night I dream of planes taking off and landing and also bombs. Seriously. They served 7500 meals per day. They have one man assigned just for the "spud room". Enough. Oh wait, left over food is grounded up and mixed with water and dumped overboard. Now that's TMI.

Good Night!
