So its still Saturday… told you i was in the mood to write in my blogs…. here is a bit on heritage and ancestry… so when you’ve lived a life like mine… born in Ohio… moved to Florida.. then st. Croix virgin islands… then grew up in Saudi Arabia… then boarding school… Florida again… then .. France… so like a military brat… i started thinking where do i fit in? am i supposed to be from the north.. or the south.. or middle east.. or Europe…. seriously… where do i fit into just one neat little box.. the answer is….. i don’t… i really can’t be smashed into one box and labeled and have someone say… there…. she is this….. or she is that… and it’s honestly the same in all areas of my life…
Speaking of heritage…. father… Czech. at least our last name is…actually a pretty funny story about our last name… something about a general who was famous… put horses shoes on backwards.. won a war for being clever…HA!! and bohemian…. and probably some other eastern European countries…
mother... Irish and Austrian…. and also probably some other countries i have no idea about….
speaking of home..….when someone used to ask me where i was from… the easiest answer was … its along story… and move on to another subject… at times I would start reciting cities.. countries.. or whatever… but sometimes it just didn’t satisfy anyone… if i said born in Ohio… they would want to know where…. if they asked where did i grow up.. and i said Saudi Arabia… they would want to know how and why i have sandy blond hair and blue/green eyes… it never seemed to satisfy with only part of an answer…. is home where your heart is now? or where you grew up?… or where you can go back to visit?….
