ReplyDeleteFor the sake of accuracy, let me add that
* I'm the supermodel, not you.
* I managed to keep Bennett gestating for 6 weeks and 2 days after my water completely broke.
* I've been with MRR 4 years as of this coming May
* A juris doctor (JD) is considered similar to other professional degrees such as an MD, PharmD, etc. A PhD is really a different "type" of degree all together. Hm...maybe I should get one of those too!
* While I competed in the Miss Maryland/Miss America pageant circuit (for the scholarships) many times, I never actually won a crown. I'm more proud to say, however, the I won "Best Interview" 5 times.
well, happy birthday - hope it is a fun filled, relaxing, spectacular super great day!
