I've been MeMe'd...

By
Real Estate Agent with VanDorm Realty

Well I have officially been Meme'd and I am so excited... my hat is off to Margaret Woda for introducing to this fun little group!

So without further adiu... Here are the seven things you don't know about me, and probably don't care about, either!

1. In high school I was voted "Most likely to become a Female Mudwrestler"! If only I could have made that work out:)!

2. I am madly in love with my great dane ~Bella~, she is the most wonderful dog I have ever known!

3. When I was 14 I left home and hitch hiked across the country 3 times for a total of a yesr and a half! At the time I thought I was grown and could take care of myself...now I look back and realize I was a BABY!! UGH!!

4. I am having a blow out 40th birthday party this summer...live music, BBQ and Beer...Yay!

Hopefully I fare better than this gal did...

5. I lost my only son Malachi when he was 15 (2006) in a boating accident on lake Havasu...He was an incredibly sweet, kind and thought spirit and I miss him with every breath I take the little yummy cutie pie!

  

 

6. My stepson Aaron had a double lung transplant due to Cystic Fibrosis...The University of Washington Medical Center and all of it staff are amazing and wonderful people who work miricales everyday while we go about our business. Aaron and my dear friend Sarah Morris (who is a Realtor and also suffers from CF) created Breathe 4 Tomorrow and foundation to assist families dealing with the day to day struggles

                 

7. I am an adrenaline junkie...so I secretly wish that I was independently wealthy so I could bankroll non-stop adventures! 

                          

So there ya have it a glimpse into me...Hmmmmmm...now whose next:)

Hi, Trish -I am so glad you jumped in and created this MEME.  Thank you! 

I enjoyed learning about you and have to add my condolences about your son and congratulate your stepson on Breathe 4 Tomorrow.  I clicked through to the website, and it is very impressive.

Malachi sure was a beautiful boy.  I am so sorry for your loss, Trish.  I know it must be so hard every day.  My heart goes out to you.   I hope your step son is doing well.

You sure have been through a lot but it is apparent that you have a strong and adventurous spirit that will get you through anything.

Hmmmmm....how are mud-wrestlers doing in this market?

Debra, Lol...thanks for the chuckle this morning! That may be something to look into...Realtor by day...Mud Wrestler by night! Hmmmmmmm...

My stepson is doing great! He isn't quite sure what he wants to be when he grows up...with his CF diagnosis he was told he would not live past 10 , when he passed that mark the doctors said 18, now with his new lungs...the sky is the limit...oops, he didn't plan for that!:)

And yes, Malachi was a dream and I am so thankful to have been blessed with almost 15 years with him. I wouldn't change a thing! Thank you, I hope you enjoy your day today!
