alice&arik replied:

What is the one thing in life you haven't done yet that you want to? Finish school and be an RN so I will have a nice income.

If you could choose to change one thing in your life right now what would it be? What happened between Arik's dad and me. Not that I don't want Arik, but it would be better with his dad.

If you could buy ONE thing (any amount) right now what would it be? There is too much to chose from. Liposuction..... . Just kidding. A car I would say. Or furniture for the whole house.

alice&arik replied:
What is your favorite memory from childhood? Probably at Mankee's Resort, the swimming "contests" we used to have. Jon doing his "froggy" swim, and Carrie doing the mermaid...I think it was her.

How do you see your life in 10 years? Hopefully through school and with a nice job. Unfortunately I see myself still single.

What is your favorite thing to do with Arik? Going to the park. Or swimming, We go to Walmart and he sees all the stuff for the beach and gets so excited. But deep down I am secretly more excited than him.

alice&arik replied:
what do you do for a living (besided being a great mommy) I am a Nurising Assistant. But we are called Personal Care Associates. We have the neighborhoods with the kitchens in them and that is where I am, in the kitchen cooking.

do you like your job? if not what would you do? It depends on what kind of a day it is, somedays I just hate it because you get all the tables cleared and washed then you start all over for lunch. But somedays it is ok and I like it, but 3 days in a row is all I can handle. If I could I would test drive cars if it paid good. Or be a secret shopper. Just something really strange, but I really want to be an RN. I have wanted to be one since I was 16, kinda strange how I have held on to that, but I have always worked in healthcare.

alice&arik replied:
1. What gives you strength (emotionally)? Arik, he is my main focus. If I didn't have Arik I probably wouldn't be here now. Everything I do is for him.

2. What values did your parents give you that you want to pass to Arik? None that I can think of except be thankful for the food that is on your plate.

3. How has having Arik changed life for you? In high school I was a wild child, but responsible, then I joined the guards and became more responsible and respectfull, but I was still kinda wild, drank a lot, passed out here or there. Having Arik changed all that and I realized what the important things are in life.

4. Describe yourself in 3 words Respectful, hardworking, and determined.

5. Post some pics please! I will scan some later and post them, I have some cute ones.

alice&arik replied: Ok here are some pics of me. These first ones are me as a baby, first is 3 months and then 6 months.

alice&arik replied: Here is me in 1st grade I think, maybe 6 years old?

alice&arik replied: Here are my a couple of my senior pics in high school.

alice&arik replied: And of course here is my recent pic with Arik. Funny in all my pics I have long hair, except when I was a bald baby.
