1. Where were you born?  Do you still live there? Denver, CO. No, I live in Washington now...for three more months, then we are off to Georgia.
2. Are you an only child? No, I have an older sister (by 2 years, 10 months) and two younger stepsisters (17 and 13)
3. What's your favorite book/TV show/movie/song/color? book- I don't have one, tv show- Grey's Anatomy and Desperate Housewives and Private Practice, movie- I haven't seen any new movies in a long time, so I'll go with Hitch, I always love watching that movie, song- currently, Dead and Gone by T.I., otherwise, I have too many to count, color- red.
4. Who do you most admire? my dad. He is the most amazing man I know! He has been through so much in his life and yet he is still very successful because he worked hard to get where he is. I admire him very much for not giving up on himself when he could have. And I have been through a lot with him since my parents divorced 6 1/2 years ago and he has taught me so much and always been there for me through everything.
5. What word or phrase do you say constantly? Brayden Michael, no! lol =)
6. Where is the furthest place that you've ever been from home? across the country- we lived in southwest washington and drove across the country- the middle to lower east coast- and then came back.
7. How many pairs of shoes do you own? too many to count! How many do I wear though? That's a different question...I only wear probably 6-7 pairs.
8. Are you are an early bird or a night owl? both, unfortunately. I stay up late, but I always wake up at 6, whether the kids are up or not. I would say I am more awake at night though, rather than being really awake early.
9. If you could only eat one thing for the rest of your life, what would it be? I always used to say popcorn, and I guess it would be as long as it was perfect, movie theater popcorn, with just the right amount of butter. Or cheese pizza if I want to get really fat! lol!
10. What's the craziest thing you've ever done? I can't think of the 'craziest thing' right now...I would maybe say, the way the relationship between my husband and I developed- it was quite a whirlwind! Very crazy! We fell in love the second day we were together, and then we decided to get pregnant 3 months into it and then again after our third anniversary. It's all very crazy, but we are stil very much in love, despite the ups and downs we have had throughout our latest adventure (the whole Army thing...) for the past almost 2 years.
