I'm linking up with Mamarazzi and Alicia aka Queso for this week's We Want to Know Wednesday. The lovely and talented Mamarazzi gave us some great questions. Let's take a look!
1. Did you live in the same town or move around a lot as a child?
2. What were your parents like?
3. Do you have any siblings? What were they like growing up?
4. Share a short story from your childhood.
5. What did you look like? (share a childhood pic to win a prize)
1. Did you live in the same town or move around a lot as a child?
I was born and raised in Bakersfield, CA (same with my parents). And we didn't move around a lot within the city, either. I can only remember moving twice, though I know we moved once more than that. 2. What were your parents like?
My parents were really supportive and encouraged me to do new things. I was a busy kid: 4-H (rabbits, sheep, sewing), band, ROTC. And they were by my side every step of the way!
3. Do you have any siblings? What were they like growing up?
I have a younger sister, Chicken (that's what my boys call her). She is 19 months younger and since we were so close in age, there were more than a few times where we didn't get along very well. She always walked the straight line and I was always the trouble maker. She probably learned from my mistakes - at least I hope she did.

4. Share a short story from your childhood.
For a while, my family lived in the "little house" next to my grandparents (my dad's parents). Every once in a while, my grandpa would come over to our house and ask if we could come over and watch cartoons or make a cake. I love those memories! I'm so glad we lived so close to my grandparents.

5. What did you look like? (share a pic)
I think I look pretty similar now to what I looked like then.

The hubs says he likes the younger picture of me because he can see a lot of our younger son, Mason, in me. And crazy coincidence...the pics of me and my sister were taken *exactly* 19 years apart. How awesome is that?!
So...better late than never, right? Happy Wednesday!
