My match up buddy is Jess (mother2 3children) Jess lives in Albany Georgia and she has 3 children. She has 2 boys ages 6 and 3 and she has a little girl age 2. Her birthday is March 26. Her favorite time of the day is morning or when her kiddos are asleep. She loves Danielle Steele ( SO DO I!!!!) and her favorite TV show is Grey's Anatomy (ME TOO) Her favorite cause is cancer research. And she loves to exercise, shop and spend time with her family.
My motto is: "Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body. But rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in hand, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO-HOO what a ride!"
I am such a doofus! My buddy kindly emailed me with further info about her so that I could do another update and I have lost the email :( I was tidying up my inbox and obviously got a little over zealous! - So sorry Sofia :(
Anyway, this is the bits I can recall! (hopefully correctly)
Sofia met her dh when she was very young and was madly in love with him (childhood sweethearts) - they were forced apart (Romeo and Juliet stylee!) by Sofia's family but started dating again years later.
Sofia doesn't want any more children, her beautiful family is complete and her twin girls were a surprise (of the wonderful variety)
Her family is originally from Greece
She lives on the East Coast
My mind has gone completely blank now I am afraid......... I can't even recall what questions you asked me Sofia :( If you want to email me again with them that would be great...I promise not to accidentally delete them
I am so sorry it took me so long to post. I've had finals going on, plus my father just made a surprise drop in visit yesterday.
Anyway, I feel so honored to share what I have learned about my buddy, Desiree. Like I've stated before, I have been a lurker here on and off for the last year, and I have always enjoyed reading her post. Her strong belief and trust in God, makes me so happy. She is always kind and supportive, and when honesty is needed, she does it so that it's upfront but not hurtful. I truly hope to become better friends with her through the course of this message board.
Desiree has been married to Kyle, her best friend, for twelve years. She is a wonderful woman of God, and has had three beautiful children Natalie, Hannah and Brayden. Her husband and her were friends for two years before they became engaged. Desiree really wanted to have her children naturally, but her body had other plans. All of her children were delivered via C-Section, and she had trouble exclusively brestfeeding, which for a little while she felt like a failure. That feeling though quickly subsided when she realized all that mattered was that she had beautiful, healthy children, not the manor in to which they entered the world.
Desiree was blessed with the ability to homeschool her children. She also co-leads Natalie's Girl Scout Troop. She likes to go camping, hiking, and fishing but hasn't been since she was a teenager. She's hoping to do a lot more of that now that her dd is a Girl Scout.
She loves family get-togethers, and any birthday in the family is never complete unless she gets to make them a birthday cake. She says that she has made some very ugly cakes over the years, but her decorating skills are slowly improving. One day she'd like to actually take a cooking class. Just like me, she loves Mexican and Italian food. Being from the south, she of course LOVES southern food as well... especially chicken fried steak or chicken, mashed potatoes and cream gravy, and fried okra. She loves cooking, but hates the cleaning up part ;)
When her family comes over they love playing games... especially "Apples to Apples" and "Beyond Balderdash". Desiree is very musically blessed. She plays the piano and sings, and she actually majored in music in college. One of these days she'd like to go back and finish. She quit school because her parents were going through a divorce and it pretty much devastated her. Although now looking back, she says that it was a blessing in disguise. She now has a much larger family due to her parents remarrying wonderful people, and she loves every one of them dearly.
Something we may not know about Desiree, is she has dimples in her shoulders and she can pick things up with her toes. TOO FUNNY.
Thanks Desiree, so much, for selecting me to be your **get to know you buddy.**
Julia :)
