I
have been asked many times by blog viewers where I was born
and
places I have lived, and why I don't post it here for all to see.
I
was like there's no way I'm posting that info online for all to see,
In fear someone would try to steal my identity.
My
attorney said there's nothing to worry about as long as you don't
give details or personal information.

was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. We lived in a northern suburb
of Winnipeg until i was 2 years old, we then moved to St. Cloud,
Minnesota, United States for a short time. We then moved to
Berchtesgaden, Germany. We lived there until I was 5 almost 6.
We
then moved to Indianapolis, Indiana United States we lived in a few
cities near Indianapolis, Indiana. My Mum got remarried to a United
