I thought I'd share some of my back-story.
I attended, but did not graduate from Texas Bible Institute. I left early because 1) I couldn't live with 5 other girls in such a small room for a such a long time. 2) I don't believe speaking in tongues is proof of anyone's salvation.
I lived in my hometown for a little while, but soon ended up in San Antonio, Texas, (90 miles from my hometown) dancing at Tiffany's Cabaret. I continued dancing (stripping) for a year and a half, on and off.
I moved to Kingsville, Texas to live with a boyfriend (who was 13 years older than me). I lived with him for about 2 years.
After we broke up, I moved to Dallas, Texas and began working as an escort / call-girl / whatever you'd like to call it. Most strippers have gone into the VIP lounge to do the equivalent, but the way I was doing it in Dallas - - getting caught by law enforcement wasn't ever a worry.
Eventually, I quit. I got married on January 29th, 2008. I left my (ex) husband on May 7th, 2008. We officially divorced in August of 2010.
Besides (finally) falling in love, the one big thing that's happened since then - I gave birth to my daughter on May 21st, 2010... sadly, her father is not the man I fell in love with.
I made a few friends along the way.
Andy:
Ellie:
Donavon:
Annie:
(Size of picture has no bearing on greatness of friendship.)
These are the friends that I believe will be around longer than any others, ever.
And... my daughter:
Chloe:
Oh, by the way - I'm Lutheran - LCMS.
wow...thanks for being so honest
