*Where are you from? How long have you lived there? Do you plan to stay there or would you like to move somewhere else? If elsewhere, WHERE? I'm from St. Louis, MO. I've lived here my whole life. Technically, I lived in St. Louis City until I got married in May of 2001, then moved to the outskirts. Pretty sure we plan to stay in this general area.
*What is one thing you want to do before you die and why do you want to do it? I want to see my children grow up and raise kids of their own.
*What is one of your wishes/dreams for your little one's future? I want them to have things I didn't have. I don't neccessarily mean material things...although a house with a nice sized yard beats an apartment with a concrete slab (that's what I grew up with)! I mean spiritually (my Mom is a Christian, but the only time I was ever in church was if I went with a friend), as well as family relationships I didn't get to have.
*One thing you deeply believe in, explain. I believe that parents need to be parents first and friends second. I think that's what's wrong with so much of society today. It's great to be friends with your kids, but if they aren't taught to respect and that there are consequences for their actions, they'll always be looking for someone else to bail them out or someone else to blame for their own mistakes.
*What is your favorite childhood memory, is there a reason why it is your favorite? Nothing specific...just being at my Grandpa's farm and spending time with him....fishing, sitting in the yard talking, taking a ride to town to pick something up....that kind of thing. I really miss him.
*How did you meet your DH/SO? Describe your wedding and honeymoon. How long have you been married? We actually met on AOL! Lol! We got married 2 yrs later at a smallish wedding in the church he grew up in. We went to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico for our honeymoon for a week....it was great!
*One of your favorite things about yourself. Least favorite thing about yourself? I'm a great listener (except when I'm pregnant and I don't hear half of what someone says! haha!), that's my favorite thing about myself. My least favorite is how insecure I am...
*What is your favorite food and drink? When not pregnant, I almost always only drink water (can't hardly stand it when I'm pregnant though), but if I ever have soda or something I really like Coke and Dr. Pepper...and I don't drink alcohol. Food...hmmm, I like Italian a lot and Mexican.
*What is one country you'd love to visit and why? Italy...I think it looks really beautiful and I've always been interested in the history.
*Do you have/want any pets? Their names and a little about them? We have 2 cats and some fish. Ummm, our cats are Gizmo and Shadow. Gizmo got his name from looking like the little creature on Gremlins when he was a kitten. He had full sized ears. It was hillarious. He's a people cat and long haired and fluffy. Shadow is black and finicky sometimes.
*What is the one thing in your life you cannot live without? my family
*If you had $5000 to spend ANY way you’d like (not on bills/home improvements/debts/etc) what would you do with it AND WHY? I would put it towards a really great vacation for our family!
