Me, Me And Nothing But Me...

Alrighty, so I've been tagged by Keah. So here goes!

Rules: Write 6 random things about myself, link the person who tagged you & post the rules. Tag six people. Let them know they have been tagged.

1. I dated my husband Darren after we got engaged. Crazy I know but hey, we're still together after 18 crazy, fun-filled, passionate, topsy-turvy years.

2. I was a single parent at the age of 20, joined the church at the age of 23, married my husband at the age of 25 and had our first child before I was 26. My twenties was an exciting time in my life.

3. When I was a little girl growing up in Jamaica, I used to run out in a heavy rain storm and roll around in the mud naked and let the rain wash me off...I was really, really young, lol!

4. A lot of bad things happened to me growing up but through prayer, faith, a great doctor and a wonderful husband, I was able to come through it and still feel like I'm a person of worth.

5. Unlike most women, I am not a nurturer by nature and so motherhood is really hard for me...and to add to the challenge of it all, we had 6 children, lol! Wrapping my arms around my children while they are in their teenage years is really hard and yet when they were babies, I loved holding them. At the same time I would give my life for them in a heart beat.

6. I love my husband dearly. He is the only person I have ever met who have loved me unconditionally regardless of the excess baggage that I brought into our marriage. I have given him many reasons to leave me and yet he stays with me and doesn't judge me for for any of my irrational, crazy, headstrong, and somtimes foolish choices I have made over the years. I have learned to be a better woman, wife, mother, sister and friend to all the people that are important to me, including my blogging friends because of his example.

I hope this wasn't too silly or boring or TMI for some and I tag:

Rebecca

Chantelle

Kristine

Ardis

i love that you love your husband after all those years. so many people just give up on it, i just think you two are a wonderful couple.

also, i think the naked mud rolling sounds fun. too bad i'd get arrested if i did it now. maybe i should open up a spa or something!

Hello,

I linked to you from your post. I know who you are, well of you. I grew up in Bridgewater and am friends with Damon and Daniel. Denise use to babysit me.

Glad to know that I am not the only crazy one out there with my OCD things ;) We should form a club or a help group or something.

Enjoy your day!

I loved your list cuz we have discussed most of them in a LOT of detail over the past year!! Our conversations are the best! Although we haven't discussed #3, and I think it's so adorable! Sounds like something I would have done as a child too!
I did my 25 random things on Facebook, but if I think of more, I'll do this tag too.
Love ya!
