Gina Marie Barajas was born on December 25th, 1971. She is the oldest of four girls. Never having a brother was an adventure she can't say she missed out on. She was once quoted as saying, "If I had a brother then I would have missed out on all the bad roads I had to take to relate to a man. I put a lot of sweat and tears into those mistakes...no way would I give that back." Gina was born in Boulder at Boulder Community Hospital. She was the only baby born that December day to a young married couple. Her mother was 17 years old and her father was 21 years old. Gina can be heard telling people, "I believe I was conceived in the backseat of a Chevy somewhere...they were too young for children and too late to take it back. We all grew up together, my parents and I." She was raised in a town called Longmont, Colorado. Her parents were poor and struggling when she was a baby but they did the best they could to make this family of three work. Soon a baby girl would be added to the mix named Loree Francine. Loree would be Gina's shadow, sister's keeper and twin for the next 18 years or so of her life. The two young girls would share every waking moment together. Once they even ran away from home but only to a friends house where their mother retrieved them after a couple of hours later. Seven years later another girl would be added to this family of four and her name would be Jolene Ann. Jolene was born with minor complications but would recover just fine. Barely a year later one more girl would be complete the Barajas family and her name would be Nicole Elaine.
