GREEN MACHINE! Remember that Big Wheel from back in the day? That’s all I wanted … EVER!!! Everytime this conversation comes up it breaks my ginger heart all over again.

TEXT QUESTION OF THE DAY:
What is a gift you wanted as a child that you didn’t get that you are still frustrated about?

  • American Girl Doll and a Barbie Jeep!
  • I wanted a sibling but that didn't happen.
  • On my 15th birthday, my parents gave me and my siblings news that within a year, we would be moving to a third-world country as missionaries. They promised we would have a huge yard and I could have a horse. We did move and I never got my horse. It’s a running joke in our family, but I sure wanted that horse for my 16th birthday.
  • A PONY!
  • This kitty that has baby kitties in her belly. I have always had some kinda feeling about this
  • Trip to Ireland, My dad still won't let me go. I work for him, that is how he still stops me from going.
