28 years old

This day 28 years ago I was born at Northside Hospital in Atlanta,Georgia. Today I live no where near there, although I would love to be on vacation right now. I have been through a LOT in my 28 years on this earth. I have had 6 kids, 4 here on earth 2 in Heaven, I have been married for 8 years.

I have also learned a lot in my 28 years. I can count my true friends on 1 hand. I have learned that there are so many people out there that pretend to be your friend, but it's all a show. True friends are hard to come by and I am thankful for the ones I have.

I have decided to do an interview with myself for my birthday. Here are 28 questions for my 28 birthday.

1. What do you do for a living? Although I do have an associates degree in medical administrative assisting, I do not work out of the home. My job is to take care of my 4 crazy kids. Homeschooling and taking care of them is a full-time job. I of course blog, and run an online business.

2. Who do you love? On the top of my list is my husband and kids and of course my family. I also love my friends, especially those that are like family. I also love my godson who is like another child to me and can't wait to have him home with us. I also love God, without Him I wouldn't be who I am today.

3. Do you have enough money? This question could be hard to answer as what does enough mean? All of our bills are paid, we have a house we own, we have vehicles we drive, we are able to eat and live, we get to the doctor. Is that enough? We may not have a lot of money and don't have a lot of money to do a bunch of travels and activities, so is it not enough?

4. Do you think you are a good person?  I would like to think I am. I try to help others as much as possible as long as I have the means. I have done volunteer work, I lend my time and any resources I have available. I try to treat others as I want to be treated. I have found myself to be pretty forgiving and sometimes I think too much.

5. Who's your best friend?  My best friend would have to be my husband. He has been through everything with me. He has supported me even in my low spots. I can't really say that for many others.

6. What's your childhood dream? I had a lot of  childhood dreams. I wanted to live by Disney and work there. I also wanted to work at Sea World as an orca or dolphin trainer. I also wanted to be in movies and act. I guess I partly made that come true by being an extra in a movie that I am waiting to come out any time now.

7. How often do you laugh?  I think I laugh usually at something every day. My kids can be quite entertaining and usually they or my husband make me laugh every day.

8. What makes you smile? Lots make me smile. The main thing is when my kids are happy it makes me happy and smile. I love when I can make them happy. Animals also make me smile as does Disney.

9. Where do you live? I currently live in Ohio, but i don't feel this is my home. I dream of moving away. I would love to move to Tennessee or Florida.
