AR Meme:5 Things You Didn't Know About Me

By
Real Estate Agent with RE/MAX Signature Properties

Thanks Leigh!  Well,

1) I trained with the US Equestrian Team throughout high school until falling out of favor with my mother by choosing college (boys) over horses (work).  I was a bit older before I realized you can have both.  My mom and I made up and now she is one of my favorite people.

2) I used to haul hay every summer.  I lived on a working farm growing up and hated the days we had to haul hay.  The only saving grace was the high schools boys my dad hired to help us!  I also know how to run a combine and just about every other piece of farm equipment.

3) I have my degree in English and Theatre.  I did several internships in NY off broadway before my graduation.  There is no where else I am as comfortable as I am on stage.

 4) People ask me where I got my children from.  My husband is a beautiful Filipino man and my children look exactly like him.  I have had people ask me where I got my daughter. Womb! And if I "nanny full time for these kids."  I tell people that I am full-time for "these kids" and I enjoy sleeping with their father!

5) In my former life at First Union Nat'l Bank, I got paid to travel to cities all over the world and scout out what extracurricular activities there were to do.  Restaurants, theatre, clubs, tours, attractions, etc.  I miss that job.  That was in the good ole days before layoffs and downsizing.

Oh, I feel so dull.  I will have to shake it up over the next five or ten years and do this again. Thanks for the walk down memory lane!

Well Leigh, I had pink armpit hair for a rave back in 1992.  And, what's  worse is Jonathan told his MOTHER about it.  So then I was NOT Filipino, NOT seventh-day adventist and DID have pink armpit hair!  What was he thinking?????

Virginia, I absolutely love number 4!  My friend has a husband that is cuban and she is from Haiti.  People always ask her if she is the nanny!  I will make sure she uses your response the time! LOL

Well, something else that came to mind after my post (of course) is that the first time I ever met my husband he was hangin' out with his best friend, Anthony (who does very nice custom counter top work just by the way).  I told Anthony that day after Jonathan left his house that I was going to marry Jonathan.  He promptly told me he had a girlfriend. I told him I didn't say I was going to marry him tomorrow!  The next year we decided to live in sin and plan our wedding.  If everyone could be as happy with their soul mates as we are there would be no crime in this world.  Thirteen years in July!

Virginia - good stuff!!  Rick and I have been married for 14 and although he is not Filipino, people still ask me if I am the nanny (must be my "young genes" j/k).  Post of picture of the kids, I would love to see them!

I thought I felt that pink armpit hair tickling my elfen shoulder during our kissing pic!  (Wow, that comment might raise some eyebrows, huh?!?)
