Get to know me!

So I thought this would be fun. Just some (a lot) of fun, cool facts about me and my family. Hope you all learn something new!

1. I hold grudges. I know, I know. They say not to, but I do. It's not like I hate the person and am mean to them, I just make it known I'd rather NOT be around them than be around them. You have to do a lot to make me hold a grudge. Like, a lot a lot. Nonetheless, it happens. You move on.

2. I have strong views. And I don't back down from them. It makes me dedicated, and stubborn. It's not a bad thing.

3. Going from 2, my husband and I can't talk politics. It's not talked about in our house. We are two totally different people. I have very very deep reasons why I believe the things I believe. So we try our best not to bring things up, because we both end up pissed and mad.

4. I don't have an official religion. I'll talk about this for a bit, so hold on. I believe in God. I grew up in a Christian household, though we didn't go to church much. I met my husband and I went to church with him and his family. After we went to California, we explored our options. It was a fun time. Learned a lot of things most people don't get to because they're too stubborn. Lol.
However, after everything, I realized that I believe in God, I just don't believe in much else. I believe good people (religious or not) go to a very great place after death where they can live freely and happily. And I believe bad people (killers, rapists, manipulators, etc) go to a bad place, where they are miserable for all eternity. They don't get a happy ending.
God, to me, is a man who understands things happen. He knows he created the Earth and the heavens, but he knows not every one will believe it. He gives all the good people a place to go, because on Earth, they tried their best. He loves his children. But he keeps his nose out of things. He gave us free will, so he knows that once he created the Earth bad things would happen. So that explains why bad things happen.
He can heal people. However, it's not direct healing. He guides the surgeons, cops, etc in what they do. He's that little voice in your head that others would call a conscious.
To answer any questions: No, I don't believe the things in the Bible happened. I believe Jesus was a prophet, but not Gods direct son. Yes, if you're good, you'll go to Heaven.

5. I adopt moms. I know this sounds weird, because who adopts moms? But no fear, I'll explain! I obviously have my mom, she's an amazing woman whom I love very much. We moved to California and I missed her very much. We went to this game shop all the time where my husband played Magic the Gathering. There were two owners, a husband and wife. Kara was very young when I started going regularly. Well, I got close to the woman. She's so much fun to be around! And reminded me a bit about my mom. She's from Germany, and I can't even say how many questions I had for her about it. Haha. I miss her so much. When my husband out processed, we went and saw her as much as possible.
Then there's my mom here. Jason plays hockey and she works at the rink. It didn't take us very long to get close. She's so outgoing, and treats us all as her own. She has a nickname for Kara, and loves her so much. My mom and her would get along so well! They're both a riot to be around. All these women mean so much to me <3

6. My husband and I have a great marriage. And I'm not just saying that, we really do. We do argue, but we make up as soon as possible. He's such a great guy, and I couldn't be happier. I love being around him as much as possible. Other than when he's at work, we don't go very many places without the other. People didn't think we would last, but he's one of the best things that ever happened to me.

7. We have lost a baby. I got pregnant in November, considering I got to California at the end of October, it happened pretty quick. Lol. But I couldn't get an appointment with my OBGYN until the second week of January. We went home, announced to everyone I was pregnant. It was a great time, and I'll always remember seeing all the faces. One of my favorites is when it took Jasons uncle a few minutes to get what we were trying to say.
Anyway, we went to my appointment. I believe it was January 10th. My doctor was amazing. I couldn't have asked for anyone better. I laid down, and he gave me an ultrasound. He said, "Woah, looks like there's two in there!" In that moment, I was a bit scared, but I was also very excited. I said, "What?!" I could already imagine my two babies. Both of our families have twins in them, mine has a LOT, so it didn't surprise me too much. Then when he said, "Well, maybe not", my heart sank. There were two sacks, but only one baby was the size it was supposed to be. The other had stopped growing not long before my appointment. I called my mom up, still quite out there. I texted my mother in law, and she seemed a bit confused when I said, "There WAS 2, but not anymore." It was a very rough time for me during the whole process. I had naturally miscarried the baby, while Kara stayed safe where she was.

8. My pregnancy was far from perfect. It could've been worse, but starting with that beginning, I didn't think it would get any better. She tested quite high for Downs Syndrome, so we started seeing a specialist often. Then, her legs weren't growing at the rate they should've. By the time she was 37 weeks or so, her legs were measuring at 31-32 weeks. They through a bunch of stuff our way, skeletal dysplasia, downs syndrome, etc. I also had some calcification in the placenta, so she wasn't getting all she should have. I gave birth to her 5 days late, and she was still under 7 pounds. She was quite small, but she was healthy! No problems at all. Other then having to get her stomach pumped, her birth was as easy as it could be giving birth to a human. Lol.

9. I have a thing for scenery. I love landscapes. It isn't a big surprise if someone sees me shed a tear because something is so beautiful.

10. I'm very emotional. I cry... a lot. It's an almost daily occurrence.

11. I'm a mix of so many things. I like being a tomboy, but I also really enjoy having nice girly clothes. I like hip hop and rap, but also enjoy death metal. I could go on and on.

12. I'm also a mix of different countries. With it mainly being a big mix of Italian and German. I also have some Iroquis Indian,  Polish, and a smudge of Greek.

13. I like cooking, baking, and doing crafts. 

14. My sister has Autism. I helped raise her. I helped my mom out when she needed it. I have a very strong bond with my sister. She's one of the best people I know. She's one of the main reasons I like visiting, because I know I can see her.

15. I like to draw, paint, read, write, and sing. I'm a very artistic person. Reading is one of my favorite activities.

16. I had a lot of bad happen in my life. A lot I'd rather not talk about, at least not now. Jason is the only person who knows all the truth about it, and even then, he doesn't know the half of it. He's the only person I feel comfortable talking about it. He seems to be the only one who understands.

17. But I've also had a lot of good. My mom was a great mom. And I love my sister so much. It wasn't bad all the time.

18. I want to travel the world. Jason and I talk about this a lot. We had our daughter young, and we don't plan to have another. When she's 20, I'll only be 38, and my husband will be 40. We still would have a BUNCH of time left in our lives. I hope we can travel the country, and go to other countries and just have fun together.

19. I've traveled cross country by automobile 5 times. Yup, 5 by automobile. 3 of those times were on buses. The other two were by car. First with my mother and father in law when we traveled to California to be with my husband. Second time was driving back to PA when my husband went to Arizona for training. I rode with him until we had to go our separate ways. I spent the rest of the trip with my father in law, Jason's uncle, and Kara who was 7 months at the time. Now that was a fun trip! Lol. Definitely won't forget that.

20. My husband and I have a very strong love for Amazon. We get shipments all the time from Amazon.com. I would say it's an addiction, but that's usually looked as bad.

21. I like to play Skylanders. Yeah, it's that game with Spryo and the other characters you can play with. It's one of my favorite games other than Mario games.

22. I got married at 17. No, I wasn't pregnant. I actually didn't get pregnant until 6-7 months after. My husband had recently turned 19. I was with him since December, and we got married in April. It was quick, but I wouldn't take it back. After 3 years, we're still going strong. I love knowing I'm going to spend the rest of my life with him <3

There's a lot more, but I have to get lunch ready. I hope you all enjoyed the read and learned something you didn't know. I'll be doing another one later on when I can't think of anything else to write. Lol.
