Almost there...part 1

Only 5 more posts until I reach 100! So, I thought that I would tell you 100 things about myself...but rather than listing all 100 at once, I am going to break it up into 5 posts of 20.
Here it goes...
1. I was born on March 28, 1979...yes, that means that I will be 30 in two weeks.
2. I was born in Houston, Texas.
3. I have 1 older brother and 2 younger brothers (1 is a half brother). I also have seven step-siblings, but I only know 3 of them.
4. My parents divorced when I was in the 4th grade.
5. When I was 5, my family lived in a trailer, and my entire family shared a room.
6. I was one of two whites in my kindergarten class...the other girl was a red head.
7. My husband and I have gone to school together since the 7th grade.
8. My husband was my first boyfriend, but unfortunately not my first kiss.
9. I played volleyball in Jr. High and High School. I was the setter.
10. I also ran track for 2 years.
11. I sang in choir since the 4th grade.
12. I played the viola in 5th and 6th grade.
13. Both of my parents are remarried. My mom remarried when I was in 7th grade, and my dad remarried 4 months before my wedding.
14. I wanted to be a teacher for as long as I can remember.
15. I taught for 6 years before coming home to be with my children. I taught 1st grade, 5th grade, 2nd grade, and 1st/2nd grade combo. I now homeschool Kindergarten and 1st grade.
16. Josh and I will celebrate our 10 year anniversary this August.
17. There were times in my life when I said I would never be a stay-at-home mom and I would never homeschool...now it is my dream come true and I love it!
18. Josh bought me our Camry for college graduation and my first teaching job...and now he drives it!
19. I have articles of clothing that I have had since middle school.
20. I have never tasted or tried alcohol or drugs of any kind.

Whoa, wait a sec...Josh wasn't your first kiss? That one threw me for a loop.

Just dropped by! You are a precous family. I too am a teacher. Your list fascinated me - I want to read the story of your life when you write it.
