Since I've been down and depressing lately, I thought I'd post five things you might or might not know about me.
1. I once ate roadkill squirrel. My grandfather brought me some meat on a plate and said, "Taste it." I should have known better by then because my grandpa is funny in so many ways. It was only after I'd eaten a piece that I found out where it was from. (Yes, it tasted like chicken... greasy chicken.)
2. I used to work as a Barney impersonator, and I wanted to be a mime. I really did... on both. I used to do children's birthday parties, and I made some kickin' cash... but then it got too violent. (No joke.) I got punched in the stomach by a bunch of guys when I was dealing with heat exhaustion after being in a parade in Utah in 100 degree heat. I was done. I was around 18 then... and just over 100 lbs.
3. I lived in Vegas when a chemical plant in Henderson blew up. I was at school at the time and we went outside and saw a huge mushroom cloud in the distance. They put the school in lockdown and I was in art class (my favorite class) for three hours that day.
4. I went to high school in Vegas and on my first day of high school--freshman year... we went to homeroom, the school went into lockdown, and we were sent home because someone had been killed (gang war) in the cafeteria.
5. I met my husband fourteen years ago after bumping into him all over the state of Utah but never meeting... Our first date went until five in the morning and the moment he kissed me--I knew we were going to get married. We were talking about marriage within days, and we were married less than five months later. It was crazy, but I just knew.

That's so sweet about you and your husband! My parents were engaged after three weeks and married three months later! They've been together for 21 years now :)
ReplyDeleteAwww... I love real love stories. Those are almost better than fiction.
