Candice's Early Days
Candice was born in 
where the
kids played in the 
street until dark. She was a klutz –
which means she was a very active child. (She had 7 broken
arms and two dislocated shoulders.) She played softball and
basketball in recreational leagues, and participated in the
choir and ran track in high school. She used
to baby sit a
lot during high school before she got a job working in a pet
store. She spent many summers on her grandparent’s farm
(learning about chickens, hens, cattle, and vegetables).
Her parents divorced at an early age.
Her father remarried and Candice now has two
step sisters and two step brothers – most of which have children
of their own. Her family resides in central
Candice has always dreamt of having
a large loving family with 2 – 3 children. The thought of
having twins is actually enticing to her because she is
intrigued by the
strong sibling bond they often have.

Candice was very close to the family that lived next door and felt as if the girl and two boys who lived there are like a sister and brothers. She still keeps in touch with them – especially her “sister”.
