Cuatro.

In my twenty years of living, I have experienced enough for five seasons of 'Days Of Our Lives'. Of course some experiences aren't good, but some sure are and these are my FAVORITES:
(In chronological order)

1. Giving birth to Princessa Mono. It took forty hours, it was painful, but it was awesome in the sense that I was awed. Easily the best experience EVER. That day was amazing, the first day I got to meet my little Mono, which I was SO ready for. It shaped the rest of my life and every day with her is equally amazing. I feel like I still deserve flowers and congratulations because to me she gets more beautiful and more special and more exciting every day.

2. Falling in love. Who doesn't want that story-book, fairytale love? I didn't believe nor disbelieve in love at first sight but I was shown that it definitely does exist. No matter what happens in my life, I am extremely glad I have known a love as great as that. I don't want to brag, but the Notebook never made me jealous ;) Also, watching the two people you love most love each other is one of the greatest feelings you can have.

3. Seeing Immortal Technique in concert. Blew my mind. He is my absolute favorite artist and it was every thing I expected it to be and more. I got to say hi to SouthPaw, dance on stage with Akir & Poison Pen, got hugs from both of them and Immortal Technique WAVED to me. I was close to the stage and watched him perform my favourite songs. Plus I looked hot. It was amazing.

4. Feeling Jesus. This happened fairly recently. Of course, discovering God is one of the best things that has ever happened to me, and our connection grew. My relationship with Jesus wasn't as swift so I read about him, I asked about him, I prayed to him and then finally, I experienced him. It was extremely emotional and I had 3 people praying with me for a very serious issue in my life and I felt God watch over me and then I FELT Jesus, he was telling me that he was always going to be with us and ALWAYS holding our hands in life. My faith has not wavered since, I am so grateful to Jesus for everything He has done.

So there you go, my fantastic four.

Eleven

There are five rules:
1 // Post these rules.
2 // Post a photo of yourself and 11 random things.
3 // Answer the questions set for you in the original post.
4 // Create 11 new questions and tag people to answer them.
5 // Go to their blog/twitter and tell them you've tagged them.

MY 11 RANDOM THINGS
1 // My daughter has 2 middle names. I put a lot of thought and meaning into her name and I adore it.
2 // My mum has 80+ first cousins, and I have 3.
3 // I'm not keen on muscly guys. Aesthetically it doesn't reeeally appeal to me. Weird right?
4 // I have two pieces of jewelry that are really special to me, both rings that I alternate on the same finger.
5 // My daughter was due on my birthday. She came 6 days early instead.
6 // I have moved house more times than I can count, my mum was always a bit of a gypsy and my parents have been separated since I was little so you put that together...

8 // My bestest friends in the whole wide world are Angela & Lauren, I'm pretty sure there was an audible *click* when we met.

10 // The only foods I don't like are pumpkin, ginger, tinned salmon and meat off the bone.

ANGELA'S QUESTIONS
1 // Where were you born?
I was born in Mitcham, and the family home was in Healesville.
2 // What type of music do you enjoy?
Hip-hop! Underground, mostly American artists. One of my greatest passions in life.
3 // Do you have any bad habits? E.G. biting your nails etc.
I am sure I have billions of bad habits. Including the fact I am hardly ever on time.
4 // Do you scrunch or fold?
I'm a big ol' scruncher.
5 // If you had $1m, how would you spend it?
I would build my dream home, kit it out and depending on how much was left, start a business, put away some for my children's education and donate to a charity I loved.
6 // What is your favorite flavor of yogurt?
OMG. So glad you asked this question, the Gippsland Blueberry Yoghurt is AMAZING.
7 // What would be your dream job? (it can be completely unrealistic.)
Some weird balance between a stay-at-home mum, helping run the family business and working with young mums.
8 // What did you imagine your life to be like at your current age, when you were in yr 7?
I thought I would be in uni, looking for my (yet to be discovered) husband.

Definitely chocolate, although I am partial to strawberry.
10 // Have you ever accidentally walked up to the wrong car and tried to get in? Explain.
Why yes, yes I have. You see I went up to pay for my fuel and on my way back I was fiddling with my wallet an next thing you know I am apparently trying to break into a car that was most certainly not mine. Oops.
11 // Are you a morning person or a night owl?
I am not particularly either yet I am both. Whatever I need to be I guess.

Introducing

So, I thought I would introduce myself in my first blog, and give you a quick snapshot into who I am. Maybe in dot point form, with a little expansion...? Agreed.

...Awkward if you didn't agree.

- I am lucky enough to be a mother, I had my beautiful little Mono when I was sixteen, she is the best thing that ever happened to me and I'm not being the slightest bit biased when I say she is the most amazing, beautiful girl in the whole world. I am positive there will be many blogs dedicated to her to come.

- I have a total of five siblings, I loved it (still do) and I hope I will be blessed with a big family too. I am the second youngest FYI.

- I am a little bit addicted to cake. There is no expansion necessary on this dot point because I don't discriminate, I love all cake.

- I am a fairly new christian, and it is a very exciting journey to be on. Discovering God, developing a relationship with Jesus, reading the bible... I would probably go to church every day if I could. I love my church. I love my bible. I love my generous, gracious God.

- I adore hip-hop. Not that radio stuff, that real stuff. I have so many favorites but Immortal Technique, Vinnie Paz, I'll Bill, Slaine & Diabolic are probably my top five. It's intelligent, socialist, aggressive... Unfortunately none of my friends/family share my enthusiasm.

- My greatest dreams are to be a great mother and a great wife and look after a great home. Family is so important to me and I adore having my own little one. I think being a stay-at-home mum and housewife is very undervalued in today's society, but that is 100% what I want :)

- I have my tongue pierced. I just wanted to throw that in there.

- Mu daughter and I are learning Spanish and it is a lot of fun.

- A couple of things that get me worked up: Breastfeeding, gay rights, abortion, young mothers, judgement... For the record, pro, pro, against, we have such a stereotype attached, and against.

- I have a dog (king charles) called Max and a kitten (rag-doll) called Duke.

I have encountered many, many things in my 20 years and I have boundless inspiration in the form of my little rosa mono so I have plenty to write about and hopefully you will find it amusing.

Until next time...

P.S. More photo's to come! I am just far too tired to hunt them down :-)
