I’M BOLD…I used to climb telephone poles for a living!
I was one of the first female telephone installers in Illinois. I was scared to death at first but by the end of training I could climb like a monkey. I AM BOLD!!!

I just entered (and got accepted) to compete in an extreme cowboy race at a horse expo near me. no.1 I am not a cowboy (nor cowgirl)… very far from it…. does anyone know how to rope a cow? no.2 I have to ride and compete the pony I trained myself in front of hundreds of spectators no.3 I’m scared out of my mind! Although I think it will be a blast and a once in a lifetime experience!
I really hope I don’t embarrass myself too much!

That was a way bigger risk than other intrepid (fear-defying, foolhardy) things I’ve done… like diving with sharks, walking a tiger on a leash, backpacking solo across Europe, hitchhiking… All fun though!

I’M BOLD!
Right after college, I moved to Shanghai, China all by my lonesome. I went to teach kindergarten at a private school for a year. It was honestly, one of the best experiences of my life. If it weren’t for my then bf, and now husband, living in the States, I would probably still be there.

“I’M BOLD!” Born and raised in Texas and, in August of last year, moved across the country to New Jersey leaving all my family and husbands family behind. I have 3 children 7yrs and under. My husband changed careers to follow his passion of leading people to Jesus. Less income/Higher cost of living/Much happier hubby. We made the right decision. Our children love the snow. :o)

The night I met the guy who later became my husband, I asked him for his number instead of waiting for him to ask me for mine- I’d say it was a pretty good move!
