Going back to home, what a birthday

present!!!!!!!

Well, those who look to all of these pictures above don't know what i had made and face to get that point. I'm not a little girl, neither the most wonderful woman, talking about experience. I'm just on the way. I walked, learned, crying or smiling i think i really did my best...

Let me show ya some of my memories about the "century" of my existence, in each age until now:

1 I don't remember anything from that age, but i know i was a fat baby.

2 Neither from that, I just know that i was still fat.

3 I remember trying to show with good cordination with my 3 fingers , what was my age.

4 I was learning that letter "E" has just 3 "arms" and not that much we can write in a letter "I"

5 Showing already that i would have a "yellow" personality, always loudy girl. I also was doing great with pencils in my hand, I was an artist ;)

6 Bored because i change school and was in a grade where i could do all activities in few seconds, i was so smart to kindergarden.

7 Finally in 1st grade, but learning everything so fast, other kids were less fast than me.

8 I gave my 1st kiss. I can't denny! His name was "Rômulo". Dad died that year too. The 2nd stuff wasn't motivated for the 1st btw :)

9 Learning how to live with less money, that isn't easy to kids understand, it was a hard time...

10 I was an actress at scholl. Always in a small teather to perform Portuguese texts we had during the lessons

11 I was in 5th grade. The girl's breasts were growing and i asked myself: "where is mine?" I couldn't find anything in a search under my t-shirt. Too thin girl!!!!

12 I could be in "YW" but i wasn't mormon, so i was falling in love with a nice boy at the school. His name was Fabiano. He was soooooo cute, intelligent and different of other boys...

13 To my sadness, that boy, Fabiano, leave the school that year. He never knew my feelings... For girls on that age the boys should discover our feelings, well, now in 2009, i don't thing the girls are so "slow". My first nephew was born that year.

14 My period begings. Finally! I hated to say: "no" when the girls asked me about that. But, since now, i could open a very large smile to say "yes".

15 High School! Sad at the beggining. Some friends went to other schools. I thought i lose them. My first niece was born that year too.

16 First year studing at night, i hated to lose the great chapters of "novelas"

17 Last year in High School. I found the Gospel and was baptized. I reborn, it was 1996.

18 I had my first birthday party as surprise. My Seminary teacher made it. Thanks Mônica!

19 I understood that i should marry for Eternity, a good mormon guy. I was working as a sale girl that year too.

20 I wrote many letters to missionaries friends, specially Ricardo and Eduardo from my ward.
21 Believe me, i had my 1st boyfriend, Daniel, that year. He wasn't my 1st date or 1st kiss. But 1st boyfriend!!! Daniel said that i was "yellow" he was talking about the color code. It was my 1st contact with these concepts.

22 I was preparing myself to go to university.

23 University, here I am!!!!!!!!

24 Wishing to leave the job as a sale that weren't the best, but i fear too much move on.

25 I was hating my job as a sale girl. It was stressful. But, that was my way of paying bills.

26 The nature requires me to be a mother and i thought i should be maried first. My stake president at that time had counseled me to try online dates. He told me that because he knew there wasn't availables singles mormons to date here. Most of my friends were getting married and i was wishing the same to me. Dating online, i met Wade.

27 The relationship with Wade ends and I met Robert and start dreaming about building a family again.

28 First offcial job as a Secretary, wow. Year of my graduation too.

29 To my sadness the relationship with Robert ends. But, as i "work" fast, i met Ernie and I'm happy. During the Christmas he asked me officially to be his wife. I acepted, of course. We're engaged now.

30 This period just starts to me. I'm enjoying this, but i would prefer to talk about that later in the end of the year or something like that. Maybe, at that time i'll have great news to update.

I'm now waiting for the next 30!!!!!!!!!!
