THIS IS MY STORY

This is my story ...

I was born in Massachusetts, on a cold winter day in November. I have one older brother and one younger sister. Our parents met while my Father was stationed at a naval base in Newport RI. When mom met dad it was love at first sight. She knew she would marry this man. I was born in the seventies a generation without the technology we have today, but I grew up learning this technology and embracing it for my endeavors through life.

The first seven years of my life we lived in several apartments before my parents could afford a home. My goodness! When my parents told us we were moving to a home with bedrooms for all of us, I was so excited! Although sharing a bedroom with my brother was cool, I was ready for my space my own room. This home was two story with three bedroom and a big room upstairs and the remaining living space downstairs (my parents converted a large room into their bedroom). For a seven year old, this was a dream come true!

It was here my siblings and I for Christmas received our first brand new bicycles. My bike was this shiny red bike that just screamed 'Ride me FAST' and gosh did I ever! ( Stories for another day ). It's amazing the gifts you remember from your childhood, but the greatest gift of all was being together as a family, celebrating the birth of Christ.

My story continues with years of finding myself, who I am and who I've been called to be ... YES, my story is one of Faith, Love, Heartache, self - discovery and the precious gift of life. So, buckle up and get ready for the ride ...
