Graf #6 Unique

Quite possibly I could sum up this entire assignment with one sentence. My first name is Linisa, enough said. But in the interest of an awesome grade I will continue. From the time I entered preschool at the age of three I remember no one could pronounce my name correctly. The only place in the world I have been where my name is pronounced correctly is Hawaii. Phonetically, my name is pronounced "lyn E sa". By the time I was in second grade, I had started a list of the differently misspellings of my first name. I lost the list somewhere about fifth grade, but I remember it contained about 40 different misspellings of my name. You grow up with Linisa Evonne Snowdeal and see how many different spellings you get. My grandfather named me after a city in Madagascar, Africa, now that man was unique! I am a born-again believer. I believe the Bible is the God breathed, inspired word of God and does not contradict itself from cover to cover. I am on a journey that is being led by God. Becoming a nurse was impressed upon my heart by the Lord, not a career choice I would have chosen because I don't like the sight of blood or needles. I am stepping out on faith just to see what He has in store for me. I promised to obey my husband in our wedding vows. My children were born when I was 15 and one week before I turned 17. I have four granddaughters whose names all start with the first four vowels. Alyxa, Ellianna, Izabell, and Olivia, yes I am patiently waiting for Ulanyi. Until four years ago, I swore I would never have a dog and now I have three, all named after the characters from the movie Armageddon, Gracie, AJ, and Oscar. What is up with that? I don't drink. I don't smoke. I don't like large groups. I would rather be with an intimate few friends than a stadium full of strangers. I drive a Yukon. I don't recycle. I hope to just retire to a private little island, with my husband, where no one knows our names.
