Once upon a time, in a far-away land, there lived a king and a queen who gave birth to a daughter.. unfortunately, I was not that girl. I've always argued that I was destined for greatness. I was born to impact the world in a way that no other had ever done. The only problem with this predestined life was the fact that it didn't come with an instruction manual. There is no book entitled, "How to be Great in 10 Easy Steps," adn I think perhaps I missed steps one through nine and am now stuck being just another average person.
My name is Suzanne Marie Dove. I'm the only daughter of Forrest Roy and Theresa Eileen Burrell Dove. They are the best parents for which one could ask. I've lead a happy life adn I continue to be one of the most content and grateful people I know. I thank God each day for giving me such role models. We truly are like royalty because of the gift God's given us, a happy home. I'm sure there are sad moments from my childhood, but I honestly can't remember any.
My life began on April 3rd 1983 at 2:29 a.m. I must have really wanted to meet these people who would be my parents because I decided to make my grand debut 6 to 8 weeks early. Consequently my first weigh-in showed me as weighing only four pounds and ten ounces. The first moments of my life were spent inside an incubator. My parents were very unprepared because of my early appearance, but what can I say, I love to make an entrance. I also love a good party, and because of my premature entrance I was able to attend my own baby shower.
Little did I know what I was getting myself into My life has been crazy. My parents are great. School is fairly easy. Work has been unique. The crazy part is balancing them all, and I've managed, but then everything was simple. I was just the adored little princess.
