1.) On July 24th 1996, I became a big sister. I had no idea the impact that would have on my life. I love being an older sister to the most amazing baby brother in the world. <3
2.) I went on a cruise, with my Mom's side of the family. I don't remember the dates, I just know that I was 8. And it was the precursor to my desire to understand people. I had no idea then but meeting new people from other places and learning people's stories was exactly what I wanted to do with the rest of my life. And I can trace it back to this trip. =)
3.) On May 21st 2003, I lost my Uncle Johnny to suicide. We were really close. It was 3 weeks after my 12th birthday, and I was devastated. That was my mom's baby brother, and it made me realize just how important mine was. I love my Uncle. He is one of my favorite men ever. And no matter what, I will always remember him like this.
