*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 am originally from Western New York, outside of Buffalo. I came to Syracuse to go to college and I have been here ever since. While I would love to move closer to my family, my DH and I do love it here. The only thing that stinks is his parents are an hour away and mine are 2 hours away so the kids don't get to see their grandparents as much as I would like.

What is one thing you want to do before you die and why do you want to do it? I would love to go to Australia. I have long been fascinated by that country and I would love to visit one day!

*What is one of your wishes/dreams for your little one's future? I would love my children to live long, happy lives. I wish for them to be healthy, happy, and content.

One thing you deeply believe in, explain. I deeply believe in women and self esteem. I struggled with an eating disorder most of my teenage years and I am a firm believer that we as a society should stop putting so much pressure on young girls to look and feel a certain way. Every women is beautiful, regardless of how they look and I wish everyone could feel that way.

What is your favorite childhood memory, is there a reason why it is your favorite? My favorite childhood memory would be spending summers at my grandparents summer home. It was on a lake and my parents still own the home and I can't wait to have my kids grow up there as well.

How did you meet your DH/SO? Describe your wedding and honeymoon. How long have you been married? MY Dh and met in December 2003 at a dinner. My best friend from college was high school friends with my future SIL and both brought us as guests that night to dinner. We spent the rest of the night talking with one another and started dating about a month later. We were married on July 30., 2005 in a perfect wedding and honeymooned on Martha's Vineyard, where we experienced warm and sunny weather the whole week we were there. We will be married 3 years this year.

One of your favorite things about yourself. Least favorite thing about yourself? I have always really liked my hair. I am very self conscious about my weight which is what I like least about myself.

What is your favorite food and drink? My favorite drink is a tie between Diet Coke and Red Wine. My favorite food would have to be Macaroni and Cheese!

What is one country you'd love to visit and why? Australia

Do you have/want any pets? Their names and a little about them? I have two beautiful cats. Henley is almost 4 and is all black and my baby girl. She was rescued by a co worker of my husband's when she was around 3 weeks old and came to us weighing only 11 ounces. Leia is my gray and white cat who we adopted from a local SPCA. She is also almost 4 years old. She is clearly a daddy's girl.

What is the one thing in your life you cannot live without? My television.

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 buy a brand new wide screen HDTV and set up a home theater in my basement.
