Life
How I became the present day me.
I am not a religious person even though I was raised in a large Mormon family. I am the third oldest of eight. I have five brothers and two sisters. My parents were happily married for over 25 years until we lost my mom to cancer in 2004.
My Dad is currently remarried to a wonderful gal.
I lived a very rebellious life in my teenage years. I have always been the kind of person that has a need to find answers for myself. Unfortunately, that sometimes means learning things the hard way. However, I have learned from all those decisions and take pride in the fact that I never make the same mistake twice. Life has afforded me a wide variety of experiences to learn and grow from. My Dad and I were not remarkably close in my teenage years, mostly due to my poor attitude toward life in general. We have since grown quite close and enjoy every chance we get to spend time together.
