this is such a fun one. . . good thing i stole it from someone else :) maybe someone will steal it from you and then we'll keep the chain up!
Hey there. Thanks for stopping by my blog. Hope you come back again!
This is a fun way to get to know a little something about you pretty quick. Sounds like you have a great life--two girls and married to your college sweetie! Also read where you were in foster care. My high school boyfriend's mom always had foster kids. She had two that were with her for years and are like her own kids. I am still in contact with one of them through Facebook. It really changed her life in a positive way. Doesn't sound like you had a good experience with it. Not much I can say about that but sucks. I'm sure your children will have a wonderful childhood though bc it sounds like you are a great mom!!
