A major event in my life was:
In 2004 my daughter Kylie was born after a 3 year struggle to get pregnant. It changed my life, I quit my job and started my own construction company so I could work from home and see her more often. It was the best decision I ever made. Kylie is 10 now and we have such an amazing relationship. I have 2 more kids and working from home has been the best decision I ever made. Those three make me smile every day and when I get back from a trip, their hugs are all the recharge I need.
The accomplishment I am most proud of:
In 2008 I noticed my Mom playing with my kids on the downstairs rug. When she tried to get up, it was a struggle and she wasn't able to carry the kids up the stairs due to her weight. I worked tirelessly over the next 3 years to create a weight loss resort where my Mom and people like her could go and get healthy. And she did, she lost over 70 lbs completely transforming her life. Now she can do all the things she wants to do. Oh, and she can carry the kids up the stairs now too.
An embarrassing story about me was:
I was at a charity event attended by stars from hit CBS TV shows, politicians, and even a couple billionaire business tycoons. I'd been working up the courage to talk to a beautiful actress all night, the gal from ER who left to sing with Tina Turner on her comeback tour. I finally walked up to her and said hello, striking up a conversation with the group. When she put out her hand and started to introduce herself, I cut her off and said, "I know you're ___" totally the wrong name! Ugh

Arms
Topics off limit to me at a party are:
Anything seriously depressing like genocide or rape.
Do I have tattoos or piercings:
No. Never pierced or tattooed anything.
The weirdest thing about me is:
I really love people. I get energy from being around others, and when I don't have enough interaction with friends or family, I'll go to a store or the beach and just start talking to people as a way of filling my extrovert tank.
My friends would say my best qualities are:
I magnify the good in the people around me. I am helpful and I love to do projects with my friends like fixing things around the house or doing home improvements.
My friends would say my worst qualities are:
I magnify the bad in the people around me. I can be selfish or oblivious to the desires of others.
The personality traits I most like about myself are:
I am helpful. I'm kind. I am an extrovert. I'm very intelligent.
The personality traits I like least about myself are:
I can be oblivious. I can be selfish. Being smart sometimes makes it hard for me to be around stupid people.
