1. Where had you moved from? My Parents house, I had just gotten married!
2. Describe your first apartment: It was on the 4th frickin floor, and it was a killer when we went grocery shopping and when we moved!! But, it was a new apt. and it was one bedroom, all the rooms were very large, and so we had lots of space. It also had a compact washer and dryer in the kitchen which was wonderful! Other than being on the top floor it was a nice apt.

4. Did you have roommates? If yes, tell us more. Yes, my husband! Dan! Like I said above we had just gotten married!

6. How were you finances at the time? Well, we were newly married, so money was tight. We got a Montgomery Wards credit card and bought a vacuum cleaner and an Atari game system and stayed home and played games, we could not afford to do anything else.
7. Tell us about a lover who spent a night there. Well, he was my lover every night and still is!
8. Tell us about a band you listen to then. (You can cheat. Look it up.) Oh lordy, um Journey!! Went to one of their concerts and had a blast!
9. How long did you live there and why did you move from there? We lived there one year, we moved because they raised the rent $100 dollars per month and we just could not afford to stay there, but it was good while it lasted!!

SATURDAY 9
Saturday 9: Dying to Know
1. What do you believe happens when we die? I believe we go to Heaven, or Hell, I believe we all will go to one or the other. Either eternal life, or eternal hell!!
2. Do you consider yourself religious? I would not say religious per say! I do go to Church and try to live by the New Testament, but do not follow a religious Church.
3. Do you believe in ghosts? I do, but I refer to them as angels. I think there are spirits that come into peoples lives at certain points in our lives for a reason!
4. Do you believe that people live on other planets? I really don't know, but there could be.
5. Have you ever seen something abnormal? I have, I have a picture taken at my parents house a long time ago with an image of a person in it, where there could not be a person. It is just a blurry image of a person.
6. Do you believe in reincarnation? No, I believe we all go to rest for eternity. I think that reincarnation ranks right up there with evolution and that is not possible, or why are there still monkeys if we evolved from them??? Same with reincarnation......
7. Have you ever witnessed a miracle? I have, and my daughter was a miracle for 11 years of her life. When she was diagnosed with cancer and was totally paralyzed from the waist down we were told she would never walk again.......well, she did and was a cheerleader for 3 years, with cancer on top of that!!! She is what makes me believe that God exists and that miracles do happen!! And, any body that knew Kayleigh well, knew she was a walking miracle!!!
8. Is there a person living or dead that influences your philosophies? Yes, my daughter Kayleigh!! She was a miracle, and loved God!
9. Is there a work of fiction that closely matches your spiritual beliefs? No, not that I have read. I try not to read things that Man has tried to conceive as what is right or wrong when it comes to God and Jesus. I believe the Bible, and there are many, many finding that the writings in the Bible are true, and very accurate, and I just stick with that. I don't follow a religion and am not religious, but am a Christian!!!
