Who do you think I am...?!

Bubs (my husband... Chris, if you must) finally got me a birthday gift that I have been wishing (begging) for for a long time. Most people have a general idea of "who" they are, where they come from. I have a kind of unique situation, my mom and her twin sister, Leslie were adopted at birth in 1962. They were born to a 13-year-old child who named them Sandra Kaye and Brenda Faye (thankfully my grandma had sense to rename them Lisa and Leslie.) For what it's worth, both my mom and aunt also had kids at 13. Yikes, right? Also, go me! I broke the cycle! My kids have 4 legs! :) As for my biological father, I know his name and met him once when I was 14. My mom (who if you haven't got it by now - isn't reliable or even sane a majority of the time) told me that HIS mother is 100% Cherokee Indian. I think that's something she would like to be true, but I'm not convinced.

Back to my gift:

OMG OMG OMG It's finally happening!! I don't think a lot of people understand my desire to "know" who I am, and for a long time not even Bubs. It seems like everybody else I know, knows something about their heritage. So anyway, we have a little wager going on. Bubs thinks the results will come back with: Native American, Asian and Scottish. I think Native American, Asian, Irish and Hungarian/Romanian. It takes about 8 weeks to get the results, so we're looking at Thanksgiving or there about.

Here's a picture of me (and Bubs!), please feel free to leave a comment below with your guess. Winner gets a huge bowl of bragging rights! ;)
