I hope I remember all the things I am supposed to start out with.

Engagement:

Funny story - I had a business card in this basket we have on top of our fridge that had the info for the ring I wanted. I had put it up there telling him when ever he was ready it had the info he needed on it. Well I always glanced up at it from time to time to see if it moved. One day it was in the same spot, but the wrong side of the card was facing out. Either he was playing a mean trick on me or he moved the card. I told him about it later and he was so mad at himself, and slightly annoyed at me for having such an attention to detail.

H planned a week long vacation in Sun River, Oregon. We rented a house and just hung out. Our first morning there he told me to stay in bed and he would make us breakfast. He then shut the door, which I thought was really odd. I figured he was up to something, but after waiting for a while, I really had to pee and couldn't wait any longer. So I ran into the hallway. I tried not to look but I saw him taking a picture of something. He called out to me "stay in there". I got back into bed and instead of breakfast on my plate it was the ring. He just put it on my lap and didn't say anything. I asked him if he was going to ask me anything and he asked the question.

Wedding -

We got married Feb. 27th 2010 at the Tyee Yacht Club on lake union. It was a whole winter theme. I don't have picks on this PC, but here is a link to my getting ready photos: katemcelweeblog.com/2010/03/07/karrie-ryan-getting-ready/

We stayed at Pan Pacific. It was fabulous! Highly recommend. Just let me know what else you guys want me to share about the big day.

(Bubble) baths or showers? Which do you prefer?

Showers probably. I have really sensitive skin, so most bubble bath gives me a rash. If I had a comfy tub a nice hot bath would be wonderful.

I guess a lot of people think I am all nice and sweet, which I am, but I can be pretty tough too.

Do you like sports? If so, which ones? What teams do you follow?

If not, why not?

Yes, I like football and the olympics, like swimming and gymnastics. I mostly just follow the NFL since we do a big fantasy league, so the Seahawks. I'm really excited for the Olympics.

Death row meal - I thought about this a lot, because there is so much food I like, but I don't want to be all bloated when I die. I think I would have some cheese, sushi, milk shake, espresso and a pastry, but just eat little bites of each

I would switch places with UWHusky, because it sounds like you have some pretty cool clothes and shoes, but only if by switching I could fit in them too

No criminal record for this nextie

How did bKB get her name? H and I went through a baby book at listed the names we liked, then we compared lists. Hailey was the only name we agreed on

What wre the runner up names? I liked Kaylie, Karen, I don't remember the others now. One was a French female snowboarder (I was googling the names of successful female Athletes)

If bKB were a boy what would she have been named? Oden

Is bKB #2, #3, etc... coming soon? Nope. We might be one and done. Jury is still out

Who's more outgoing, you or H? Funnier? H and H. He will joke with me that I have no sense of humor.

Last time you cried? What was it over? I just balled last Thursday. It was over guilt because I miss bkb so much and I never get to spend a lot of time with her because I work so much. She's asleep when I leave and she's asleep when I get home. Work has been super stressful so that just adds to it. I hate taking the little time I have with her for myself too, so I have guilt over that. I need a vacation.

Do you own or rent your place?
If you own, is it your forever home?
If it isn't, what would your forever home entail?
What colors did you decorate with? What themes? How would you describe your style?

(Sorry, adding a lot to one question because ProBoards makes you wait 15 seconds to post)

We own
It's probably not our forever home, I want 1,000 more square feet and not to share a driveway
My style is clean and contemporary

I honestly haven't been keeping track of who all is participating. I have to be selective with my post reading with my lack of time.

I want some sort of luxury car. I don't know which one though.

Nanny - because I want someone awesome for bkb, plus maybe he/she would do some house hold cleaning too

H really does a lot around the house, so I can't complain at all. It would be nice if he cleaned the whole house more, but I really don't have any issues with him and chores. He cooks for us, he gets up with bkb in the middle of the night, he does all the yard work. He takes great care of us.

Oh yeah!!!

We stayed in whalia (sp?) in Maui for a week at the Marriot. We just soaked up some sun and swam in the pool.

If you were given $100 with the stipulation that you can't spend it on yourself, your friends, or your family, what would you do with it?

That's a tough one. I'd probably donate it to Susan G Komen
