From the Beginning

It's so temping to jump to current events in my life because they excite me so much but I must resist. To understand the person I am today you have to know where I came from. I was born in 1977, the youngest of four to a stable family.  My parents are still married. My mom worked in the school system so she had our summers off and we vacationed.  My Dad worked at GE he would visit my mom family with us in LA but he opted out of the fun stuff. He loves us but has a hard time expressing it... plus he's a bit of a couch potato! We lived modestly in a tiny three bedroom house.  I didn't mind it, and never wanted for anything.  My mom and I butted heads majorly when I was a teenager.. makes me glad I have four boys and one girl so far.  Our relationship has grown since I became an adult.  We still have an occasional spat but are close over all. I was raised United Baptist, I guess you would say I am nondenominational at the moment. I threw together a rough time line of important events in my life from the time I was 16.
