Post a day in may. Day 1

I occasionally read this blog that challenged readers to do a post a day in may.
I need a jump start to begin blogging regularly again.
I know I will regret putting my blog towards the bottom of my mental checklist later.
So, I'm gonna use her daily prompts and go with it.

Enjoy.

Day 1. Write my life history in less than a thousand words.
(Although I am not going to count them)

My name is Jennifer Nanette Lines Willis.
I was born during the fall of 1982 as the 9th child in my family. I was lucky enough to be born exactly 2 years after my bff/sister.I pretty much lived the best life a person could ever want. I often tell people i grew up in the show leave it to beaver. I was safe, loved, and happy.
(Nothing more i could ever ask for)
After years of begging my parents, they gave me a baby brother when I was 8 years old.
(He's pretty much the coolest guy I know)
( they have since given me a baby sister and 2 other brothers)
( that makes 13 kids, FYI)
My mom made bread every Monday, hot breakfast every morning and dinner every single night. She was pretty much always happy. She is also one of the most selfless people I know.
My dad was a farmer/banker. I think livestock man describes him best though. He is quirky, funny, independent, yet stern. He was the disciplinarian, but only when he needed to. I remember gutting animals with him, bottle feeding baby lambs, and being paid to clean the chicken coop.
Ahhh, farm life... In the city.
I graduated from high school when I was 16 due to my moms diligence and my brilliance. ;)
I met and married the most amazing man on the planet in the mesa, az temple in August 2002.
(Best decision ever)
We have since been blessed with 5 incredible kids.
( who I am in awe of every. Single. Day.)
I have always lived in Arizona.
Always.
And I plan on keeping it that way.

I know that was more than 1000 words, but all of that was pertinent information.
Day 1... Check.
