I will admit that I was hoping for something very easy to start and this prompt was quite a bit challenging.
An unremarkable lifestyle was the basis for the first 18
years of my life. I had an amazing
mother, she was creative, fun, and loving.
My overly technical dad could make any dinner conversation require an
encyclopedia and is the reason I love the chemistry in baking and learned to
pole-vault thanks to physics. I grew up
with a bratty little brother who ate my Barbie shoes, colored on my NKOTB
posters, and let me use him as a speed bump for our Jeep.
My college years were bookended by an awkward Freshman year
and a drunk-ass Senior year. There were
some years there in the middle (two to be exact), where I met two of my best
friends, somehow convinced a coach I was good enough for collegiate athletics,
and kept my head above water enough to graduate with honors. Maybe I should also admit that I graduated
from IUP – also known to my father as I Usually Party.
(I about fell over typing this next sentence) I graduated
from college SIX years ago, and somehow found a job for a small but amazing
company where no less than four members of our Accounting Staff act like my
mother on a daily/weekly basis. My
personal life has both flourished and crashed, with my marriage to Rockstar
hubs, pride in my brother’s service to our country, and the loss of my
mom. Purchasing our new home, with the
closing date just two weeks away is our newest adventure!
Found you through the Challenge. Hope to follow along with you this month! Good first post
