AMAZING! Growing up I was a really good kid till about eleventh grade. I decided to give my parents a hard time and be a teenager. I didn't mature until after my car accident.... I think the hard times made our relationship stronger and what it is today. I respect my parents so much and think all the time about how ungrateful I was. Moving out really opened my eyes. Then having kids of my own and the time, energy and money is an even bigger wake up call. I can't ever thank my parents enough for what they've done for me. My family really is my best friends especially my parents. I talk to at least one of them if not both once a day and if a few days go by. I get a phone call and the first words I hear are "Where have you been we haven't seen you in a while." Even though I do go over there every Sunday. Oh and lets not forget the classic voicemail from my dad. "Call Me" because seeing a missed call from him doesn't tell me that ;)

1. My first fear is stupid, but it is a fear none the less. I am terrified of praying mantices. I remember lining up for class in 2nd grade and this boy named Michael would grab them off of the red brick wall of Valley View and chase me around with them. As I got older the more terrified i became. I was picking some tomatoes out of our garden when I screamed and rand away and fell to the ground and stared to cry. Mike came running out the dog and him were freaking out. There was the biggest nastiest green one right by my hand. Snakes no problem, spiders aren't my favorite but those nasty things are a huge fear of mine. 2. I think it would be something having to do with my family, they are my everything. I am so very close with my extended family too. I just can't bear the thought of anything happening to any of them. 3. Heights. I hate heights. I hate flying, I hate ferris wheels, I hate/love roller coasters. I like the speed, but not the heights. I rode the thing at Lagoo
