You may be surprised! You may be amazed! Unless you think along the lines I do which is highly unlikely in this day and age!

Not as a pre-created being. I think everybody was in the mind of God just like all other aspects of creation were in His mind to begin with. We began as a thought even as each of us are outgoing expressions of our parents, grandparents, etc.
So we were first a thought, then an expression, then a manifestation and now as I write I live and move and have my being in Him.
Mormons believe that we had preexistant bodies. The Genesis creation story would not support this for Adam was first created as a spirit and then as a man to till the ground. He would not need a spiritual creation if he were pre-extant.
I have friends who believe in reincarnation which would make your last existence here a life before you were born into this existence. I don't believe this is the case.
You see creation is an unfolding kind of like the flower of the lotus in the heart of God. St. Peter likens it to rolling out a carpet and at the end rolling it up. An unfolding revelation. A story spoken out of the mind of God. A potter forming the clay and shaping it into the likeness of his choosing.
There are vessels to honor and vessels to dishonor but all to the glory of God.
The heavens declare the glory of God and the firmament showeth forth His handiwork.
So in the great garden of God you were planted in the fabric of creation to come forth as you have this day. You came forth exactly on schedule, no sooner and no later.
