I've been tagged for a MeMe by Smart Girl Shannon Lefevre, and from what I understand, that means I'm supposed to write 5 things about myself so you can get to know me better. This is a tough assignment! Writing about real estate is pretty easy, but writing about myself, not so much.
Okay, here goes...and YOU better watch out...YOU could be next!
1. I don't like my middle name. It's Sue. Just Sue. As in Kelly Sue...say that with a Southern accent and you'll get it. My father's family was from West Virginia, and his name was Ben Ray. I guess I should consider myself lucky, it could be worse, LOL.
2. Speaking of my father, Ben Ray Walker, he died when I was only five years old. He was a police officer and was killed in the line of duty. Earlier this year, all of the evidence was released and my sisters were able to obtain the police reports, photos and other documents. So we finally know what really happened that day and not just what was reported in the newspapers. Because of this, I know what my father's last words were. No child should have to grow up without their father, or any parent for that matter. You always have a missing piece of yourself, you always wonder what if, and if you're only five, it's sad to say, you barely remember him. It's a true tragedy, but I will see him again someday...of that I am sure.
3. I'm married to my high school sweetheart. I met my husband, Brian, when I was just 15 years old. I saw him across the lunchroom and asked my best friend, Shannon Ryden (now Beckman), if she knew who he was. Then I said..."that's the man I'm going to marry." Seriously, I really said that! Shannon and I devised a plan for me to meet him and the rest is history. We've been married for 20 of the best years of my life and have two boys, Nick (17) and Jake (14). Life is grand.
4. I had a horse named Tonco when I was a kid. I loved to urge Tonco into a full gallop across the fields...I almost always rode bareback, too. I loved the reckless out-of-control, free feeling this gave me. Nowadays, parents would require full body armor, helmet and pads before letting their kids do this! Back in the day, all my Mom said was: "be home before dark."
5. We're adopting a baby this year. No, not a real baby, a puppy baby! (Had you going though, didn't I?) We have placed a deposit for a little fur baby called a Maltipoo. Basically, a Maltipoo is a very expensive designer mutt, a cute fluffy little creature that will be under 10 lbs fully grown. A girly girl dog. Would you expect anything less from me?
So that's all folks! Five things you didn't know about me and now you do! Now I get to tag 3 others to do the same...Hmmm, let's see...how about:
Jonathan Mitchell
Judy Greenberg
Lisa Ryan
I'm looking forward to reading all about them, aren't you?
