#1 - 25

1. My name is Nina Renee. Literally translated from Spanish and French origins, it means "girl reborn".

2. My parents did not know this when they named me.


3. As a Christian, it was very cool to make that discovery just a few years ago.

5. But I bat right-handed.

6. I married a man who is right-handed but bats left-handed.

7. I'm the oldest of 3 with 2 younger brothers.

8. I married a man who is the youngest of 3 with 2 older sisters.

9. I'm pretty sure that's where the mirror effect ends.

11. I think 18 is way too young to get married.

12. My first child was born after a planned pregnancy.

13. I (along with my husband) thought 4 years was about right for spacing children, and planned accordingly.

14. I now know what they mean when they say "If you want to make God laugh, tell Him your plans".

15. My second child was born 11 years after my first.

16. After the birth of my second child, we thought we were done having children, having forgotten #14.
