Engagement: It was 10/9/08 (easy date to remember.) I had been in Toronto all week traveling for work and was tired. I got home just before the work day ended. Hubby ended up leaving work early and got home a little after me. He went upstairs to the bedroom while I was on the couch just relaxing, and then he called me up there. I walk up and he's holding a shoe box. It was a pair of cognac colored knee high boots in a style I had been wanting! He said he bought them for me because he missed me. I was thrilled that he shopped for me, because he never did that! As I'm admiring my boots, he pulls out a small box, starts crying during his speech and proposes! It was very very sweet!
Wedding: 9/5/09 at the Barcelo Maya resort in Riviera Maya, Mexico. It was amazing, and I wouldn't change anything! There were almost 40 of us that ended up going. Mainly his family. Everyone was there with us for the first week, and then we had the second week to ourselves. My dad married us on the beach. It was an unofficial ceremony. We actually got married at the Courthouse right before we left. What was also nice was that his parents threw us a shower/pre-reception about a month or so before we left. That way all of our extended family and friends could celebrate with us.
Family: I have an older sister and a younger brother. It's confusing, but my parents are still happily married, but my mom technically lives in San Antonio and my dad lives in Fontana, CA - he's a pastor of a non-denominational church out there. He used to commute back and forth every other week to TX. But now lately, my mom will go to and from Cali for a couple weeks at a time. I honestly think the reason she hasn't just picked up and moved yet is because she doesn't want to leave my brother behind. My sister is in Duarte, CA (Outside of Pasadena) and the bulk of my extended family is out in the same area. We grew up in TX though, my brother has no intentions of leaving.
Hubby's family is all local. He has two half sisters and one half brother on his dad's side - although for all intents and purposes, they're like full siblings. His dad remarried when hubby was 5, so his step mom is truly his real mom to him. His birth mom is a little crazy living in a trailor somewhere strung out. So when I refer to hubby's mom - know it's always actually his step mom. That being said, his "mom" comes from a really big and connected family, so we are close to his aunts, uncles, and cousins as well. And again, everyone is local to the STL metro area.
If you were given $5M tax free, what would you do with it? Who would you rather die first, you or H? Death row meal? Ever been arrested? Bonus points if you tell us why. Who's more outgoing, you or H? Funnier? Last time you cried? What was it over? Dream car? Between a full time chef, stylist, driver, nanny, personal trainer, masseuse or errand runner (who only did those jobs) which one (you only get 1!) would you pick and why? When will you start TTGKTFU? How many kid(s) do you want? Ideal place to live in the US? Ideal place to live abroad? All time favorite vacation spot? Least favorite vacation spot? If money were no object and it were feasible, would you go to the moon? Obama, Romney or are you leaving for Canada? Realistic job you would be really good at? Realistic job you would be really bad at? Dream job?
If you travel for your job, where have you most enjoyed traveling for work?
I love Atlanta. So random but everyone is so nice and I just love the southern accents and it's beautiful. Although, CT is soooo perfect in the fall. Breathtaking.

A full time chef!! Then that means they'd have to do grocery shopping, too right? I recently hired a housecleaner which was the best life decision ever. If someone could cook for me, too??! OMG heaven.
I'm off and on about this. H and I started actively trying when we got married. I was taking ovulation tests and stuff, but it just got too stressful. Then we just decided to let things just happen. Not doing anything preventative at all. But recently, I've jumped on the - "I'm ok without kids" wagon. So we shall just see. As of now, still not doing anything to prevent it.
This is so hard bc my music tastes are so random. Would have to say Garth Brooks The Dance
