Thirty-Three...About Me

 

Looks like this was my 5th birthday in 1983. I obviously really liked Strawberry Shortcake and I was wearing my flower girl dress from my cousin's wedding (I wore that dress all the time that year!). It's weird to think I am turning 33 and all that has happened to me since this 5th birthday. My life thus far has been full. And for that I am thankful. In honor of my 33rd birthday, 33 questions answered "About Me":
