paige 1

So this is something I have been wanting to do for a long time. I have always had blogs with my art work or photography to show for resumes...but never had a blog to describe my day or tell the world how i feel. Why do I love blogs? I love to be creative with everything I do. Its not as fun to write in your journal when you can't decorate with pictures at the click of a mouse. I have friends all around the world...who always ask me to share my life story. So here are a few paiges of my life...

Danny was a "fox" as my mom calls him to this day. A friend of her 5 brothers. A mormon.
...Then there was Julie Castner. (yes as in "Coach Castner"). An athlete. "goofy and gullible" as my dad describes her. Highschool sweethearts 5 years later. . .They were married in the Chicago temple.

Then I came along. My mom said that they took me away when I born because I was so tiny. (5 lbs.) She said that when they finally brought me back to her she thought I wasn't hers. She said I looked like a baby bird. haha. I do miss those days. Life was very simple. My father worked and went to school full time. My cosmetologist mommy helped put him through school. She says those were some rough days. Very little $. But sometimes I know when she looks at us, she wishes we could go back to those days. An empty home. Barely any furniture. But smiles for a month long from her kids just to be able to go to the dollar store and pick out 1 thing. I love my family. Although my father NOW could pay for all the things we "need" or even "want" he taught us to work. He taught us to save and keep track of our money. I know that he loves us enough to Teach us how to live. (and not just live off of him)

I grew up. . . a always took lead (ask my sister...I was kinda bossy). I grew a love for people at a young age. We had to move around growing up...which was always one of the hardest things to go through. I will never forget walking through the cafeteria with my lunch tray having nowhere to sit. I always look for lonely people now...because that is NOT a good feeling. My happiness became singing, the Pittsburg Steelers, soccer, and art.
