Happy Birthday to Me!

Wow!  I can't believe I am 38 years old!  I still feel like a 15 year old.  Where did all the years go?  38 seems so old, it's almost 40 you know?  I can't possibly be almost 40!  That's like really old!  So I thought today would be a good reminiscing day!

I was born Dawn Angelique deValcourt but my Aunt Jo (Thank you) said I looked like an angel and should be called Angie, so thanks to my 2nd momma I am Angie not Dawn which I will be eternally grateful for.  Not that there is anything wrong with the name Dawn, it is just not me and it is also dish washing detergent.  My Dad was still determined to call me Dawn until he went to the pharmacy and they spelled my name Don and he got mad and said "fine we'll call her Angie".  Yay me!  I have 3 sisters, 2 brothers, 3 step-brothers, 2 step sisters a multitude of nieces and nephews, i'm talking in the 20's y'all and I'm also a great Aunt.  Whew!  Thank goodness I'm not a Grandma!  All of my brothers and sisters are half, I have no whole ones.  No they aren't cut in half but we all share the same Mom and have different Dads.  I have one younger step sister and then all the others are at least 8 years older than me.  I am really "the baby" of the family.  I am fiesty and firery and I have very strong opinions and beliefs.  I am a strong christian and love Jesus with all my heart.  I was fiesty from the begining, Dad said when I was in nursery school I told him I got in trouble because I was trying to "take Marks tempature with a stick".  Opps!  I also loved Kenfucky extra crissy fried chicken and would curse like a sailor thanks to my lovely gorgeous momma with the potty mouth!

Oh yes, I was a stinker!  Still am.  But I love with my whole heart and hate injustice.  I should have become a super hero or something! LOL!

I always knew what I wanted to be when I grew up, a mommy and wife.   Big ambition right.  That's why i'm so thankful to have found photography, something I really love to do.  I've never done drugs in my life and was often called a "goody two shoes" even with my potty mouth! 

I loved being in drama in school because I am a Drama Queen!  I was often found on stage in the school plays.  I was almost always cast as the love lorn teen.  Really? ugh!  What is with that.  You know all the songs with my name in them are all about going away!  Dawn, the song I was named after, ugh was about boys telling a girl named Dawn to go away he was no good for her.  Angie Baby by Helen Ready was about a girl who kills boys with her radio (I kid you not) and then there is ANNNNNNGGIIEEEE ugh!  Please!  Someone come out with a good song!







Okay, so you get the picture.  My life hasn't always been pretty but it has been full.  I was so thankful to meet Scott and marry him.  I was thrilled to have my babies and I am grateful to all God has blessed me with.  As the Gosslins say: It isn' t a perfect life but it is my life.  :O)
