We grew up in Texas. All of us, including Ninja. Mr. Man and I were both kids of military families, so we moved a bit, but landed in Texas for the majority of our lives. Ninja went to school in Texas from Kinder through a 2 year Associates program.
Ninja is a great son. He can be lazy, but he's great. He is caring, and worries about the feelings of others. If only there were no video games, then he'd be perfect ;)
Mr. Man is from Puerto Rico. He was born on the island, and lived there until he was a small child. English was a second language to Mr. Man, but you wouldn't know that today. He is quite passionate about his home, and about his heritage.
I am an adopted child. I thank the Lord daily for this. I was adopted as an infant, but grew up knowing that I was adopted. I know my birth mother, and appreciate her making a very tough decision to do what was right.
Mr. Man and I met at work. We were stuck in a small room with about 10 others working on a project for almost an entire year! We started out as friends, both of us seeing other people when we met, and that friendship grew and grew. Even now when Mr. Man is on my nerves, I have to stop myself and think 'I knew he was like this', as we had been friends for quite a while before we ever went on a date.
Currently, Mr. Man is working as a temp, it was a job that popped up and he took it right away to have some sort of income. It's minimum wage, for one week, but when faced with the economy we have now, it's a positive!
We are still pushing forward. When I read the news I try to think of things on both sides, as the news tends to make me very sad. I try to remember I have a great family, we have a roof over our heads for now, and we have food to eat. Those are all positives. We will find a way to make it through, I have no doubt!
Thanks for all who read. God bless!
