2. Where would I live if I could live anywhere? Probably Colorado but I would want my family to live there too. Family is very important to me whether immediate or extended.

Oh gosh, I'll have to think about this one.

1. What's my biggest pet peeve? I don't have many, believe it or not, I'm actually pretty easy going. But, if I had to say something, I would say...people who don't use their turn signals. To me, these people think they are the only ones on the road and therefore don't need to be considerate of others. We, other drivers, should be able to read their minds and anticipate what they are going to do next. I live in rural america and farmers are the worst at it. My dad and granddad are farmers and I gripe about their driving all the time.

I'm sorry Bethanee, I missed them. Please forgive me. :)

1. How did dh propose? Well, at the time, he was living in Dallas and I was living in Phoenix. I flew to Dallas to visit over Memorial Day weekend. (He tells the story much better, but I'll give it a shot). I didn't get in until about 11:00 p.m. and was very tired (I had worked all day and traveled all evening) so all I wanted to do was go to his house. Well, he had other plans. He took me to a little park outside of town kinda out in the country. The moon was very full so there wasn't any need for lights. He had me close my eyes and he led me out into the middle of the park and when I opened my eyes, he was down on one knee with the ring box (open) extended out in front of him. He then proceeded to tell me how much he loved me and how much I meant to him and then he asked me if he could spend the rest of his life with me. I was soooo very nervous. I knew we were getting to that stage in our relationship, but I wasn't really prepared, especially that night. The rest is history.

2. What one regret do I have? I really don't have any regrets. I know that sounds funny, but I feel that everything that I have done in my life, right or wrong, has been a learning experience and therefore has made me who I am today. The only thing I can think of is not getting my Masters Degree after college. But, if I would have done that, I probably never would have met my husband or had my beautiful son.

3. What month is my birthday? April 11th

4. What is my religion? I was brought up Catholic and was in the church until I went to college. I really slacked off after that. When my son was born, we started going back, but I felt really uncomfortable, I'm not sure why. Anyway, we don't go anymore even though I would really like my son baptised. We are spiritual people who believe in God, but are not regular church goers.

Thanks Bethanee.

Oh my gosh Connie, if it's not ttc I'm thinking about, it's my dream house. I can't wait to build.

My dream is to build a home right on the edge of a big town (small city) in a small subdivision (so my kids can play with neighborhood kids on quiet streets). The home would be a about 2000 sq ft with 3 berooms and an office/nursery next to the master bedroom suite. The master bedroom/bath would take up one side of the house and consist of a large walkin closet and a huge bathroom with a whirlpool tub and separate shower. The nursery would be right next door so I wouldn't have to go too far to get to my baby. On the other side of the house would be the two bedrooms for my other kids (we're planning on 3) each child will have his/her own room until the baby gets old enough and then two will get to share (which I think is fun for kids). The nursery will then be turned in to my office or a hobby room. I think it's nice to have those rooms on the other side of the house so when the kids get older, they can have their privacy and we can have ours. The kitchen will be huge with lots of cabinet space. There will also be a breakfast area where the whole family can gather and it will all over look a family room with a fireplace. Off the kitchen there will be a large deck overlooking a huge fenced in back yard where my kids and doggie can play without getting into too much trouble. We'll have get togethers on the deck where we'll cook hamburgers and have picnics. We will also have a full basement (it's a must). This will be my husband's and children's play area. My husband will have his office down there and the kids will have a play room and whatever else. We might also make a room a bedroom down there for guests (even though that will mean my mil will be over more often, yuck). I want my house to be a home where everyone feels comfortable and welcome. That's my dream and hopefully within the next year or two, it will become a reality. One thing at a time though. Baby #2 comes first.
