25 Random Things About Me

At first when my friend sent this "tag" to me, I groaned.  I couldn't possibly think of 25 things about myself that are remotely interesting. But, I have decided to give it a try. I have to state that the obvious number 1 is that I love my family, but that is a given. So here goes:

1.   I skipped 7th grade.

2.   I went skydiving when I was 18 (love made me do it).

3.   I was married in London, England.

4.   I lived in London for a year.

5.   I've seen Princess Diana in person. (along with Prince Charles, The Queen Mum, Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip)

6.  I'm an optimist.

7.   My first job was at Tastee Freeze when I was 15. 

8.  I didn't graduate college (went two years to Cal State Fullerton).

9.  I owned a horse for 3 years when I was 13.
