Because I love them so.....


What bill do you hate paying the most? all of them

Where was the last place you had a romantic dinner? Ha. Ha. Ha. Not since we were dating.

What do you miss about being a child? The innocence. Long summer days spent just playing. The excitement of a new school year. Believing in Santa.

What errand/chore do you hate? cleaning toilets

What do you get every time you go into Walmart? usually a headache : ) I rarely go, usually only at Christmas. Or to buy camping stuff.

Do you think marriage is an outdated ritual? Not at all. I wish everyone who wanted to be married, could be.

What famous person would you like to have dinner with? Denzel Washington. I admire him as an actor. And he's gorgeous. But beyond that, I really admire that he has stayed married in a career where they don't often last long. And he seems to fly under the radar and stay out of the limelight. I like that.

Where would you like to go in California that you have never visited? San Francisco. My fear of flying is the only thing that has stopped me from going.

At this point in your life would you rather start a new career, or a new relationship? definitely a new career

Do you have a go-to person? For....??? For ranting/venting...yes, I have someone for that.

Are you where you want to be in life? No. I would like to be more financially secure and prepared for retirement. Oh, and be done with school and have a job/career.

Over the years, what do you think has changed the most about yourself? my weight : ) I have changed so much since my 20's. I was a wild child. I am at peace now.

Looking back at high school, were they the best years of your life? lordy, no. It was fun...but not the best by any stretch of the imagination.

Are there times when you still feel like a kid? yep

Where was the hang out spot when you were a teenager? I lived in a rural area, so sporting events were huge. And everyone "cruised" McDonalds parking lot in the next town over. Because there are no McDonalds in my town. Still.

Who do you think impacted your life the most? My kids

Do you tell stories that start with "when I was your age?" Sigh. Sadly, I do.

What is the scariest thing that happened to you as an adult? We were at a flea market buying a puppy, and in the excitement, Tyler wandered off. He was in the next booth. But I have never felt that level of fear in my life. It almost felt like an out of body experience.

What advice would you give to someone about to get married? You think you are in love now, but you have no idea. True love comes from years together. From dealing with sickness and health issues, and late bills, and crying infants, and the death of a parent. True love is seeing the other person's faults and still knowing you would not want to be anywhere else in the world. And that it is work. Hard work. Totally worth it...but happiness doesn't just happen. Oh, and to laugh. Alot.

What advice would you give to someone starting their first job? Uhh, don't sleep with the boss : )

If you could go back and change one thing you did, what would it be? Marrying my ex-husband.

If you could go back and change one thing someone else did, what would it be? Brianna moving out
