Re: GTKY
What is you favorite movie? While You Were Sleeping
If money were no worry, and you could live anywhere, where would it be? That's a hard one! I'd probably have a lot of houses in a lot of places! LOL But I would seriously consider Italy or Hawaii.
How many kids do you think will complete your family? This is #3 and I'm 99% sure we are D-O-N-E.
What are you most looking forward to in August? Hmmm, I guess the kids returning to school. We'll be doing it online, but it will be nice to see them learn and grow.
What is you favorite movie? Ever After
If money were no worry, and you could live anywhere, where would it be?
Hubs and I have been talking about moving to a place on the water on the Ozark National Scenic Riverways for probably close to 15 years? But we haven't committed to moving after SS17 graduates HS this year because it's too far for DH to drive to work. (DH's company has transfer rights all across the country, so we've got plenty of options, but if I move out of state I have to cash out my pension and we've worked too hard to throw both of our retirements away at this point.)
How many kids do you think will complete your family? This is my 1st bio- and DH's 3rd, plus there's an extra one we claim (SK's 1/2 sister) so we're probably done after this! I ordered the 8-year old (his kid's little sister) this shirt. She's going to be so freakin' excited.
What are you most looking forward to in August? I've got 2 - Telling my parents they're going to be grandparents for the first time AND finding out if my brother & SIL's IVF session took and if we get to be pregnant together

If money were no worry, and you could live anywhere, where would it be? Still in Michigan, but my parents are over an hour away and I would want to live closer to them
How many kids do you think will complete your family? We both agree on 3, but I would be over the moon with 4

Kids? I think 2 or 3 is where DH and I will compromise but I'm down for more!

Oh my gosh, I think my husband would say 2-3 and I'd say like 5? But I think we will foster later in life. I would love to just have a houseful of kiddos forever.

What is you favorite movie? As much as I love books, I’m not a big movie watcher, but I’ve always loved the Wizard of Oz.
If money were no worry, and you could live anywhere, where would it be? This is a common topic between my husband and I! There are so many great places, we usually land on a place in the mountains of Colorado, and another in some place like Palm Springs so we can escape to the heat to golf.
How many kids do you think will complete your family? This is our first, but eventually hoping for 2
What are you most looking forward to in August? I’m heading to Seattle to visit my parents. It will be my first flight in the COVID era which I’m a little nervous about. Pre covid I was on a flight almost every week, so it’s been kind of crazy to be home this long!
love reading about everyone!
Harry Potter series
What is you favorite movie?
Jurassic Park

How many kids do you think will complete your family? Probably one but haven’t 100% ruled out another biological or adopted.
What are you most looking forward to in August? Hopefully feeling better! Our 10 year wedding anniversary. Hopefully driving to Chicago to see my family and tell them I’m pregnant (but at least taking a week off work even if we cancel the trip due to COVID). I ordered a shirt for my niece that says “My aunt has my cousin in the oven” which I will try to put on her in another room and wait until someone notices (I can’t put the picture in the post for some reason).
What is you favorite movie? O Brother, Where Art Thou?
If money were no worry, and you could live anywhere, where would it be? I love living here in Alaska, but I’d love to live half the year (summer) here in AK and the other half of the year (winter) in Hawaii!
How many kids do you think will complete your family? This is #2 and I’m 70% sure this will be it.
What are you most looking forward to in August? My next appointment (12 weeks along), because if everything still looks great then, we’ll announce to Facebook and such.

What is you favorite movie? too hard!! I like silly movies and ones that make me cry.
If money were no worry, and you could live anywhere, where would it be? I think somewhere colder and more mountainy, maybe somewhere in Colorado? But also like France or Italy.
How many kids do you think will complete your family? Not sure! We’re on number 3 right now and would probably stop at 4.
What are you most looking forward to in August? Just cleaning and organizing and hopefully studying more so I can hone my design skillz.
Misery-I'm a huge Stephen King fan. But full disclosure, I'm a nerd and mostly read health/medical journals & enjoy researching human/animal Herbal Medicine (No, I'm not a Hippy lol)
What is you favorite movie?
I'm awful at this-not to sound generic but I really can't pick *one*. Narrowing it down: Clue, anything Alfred Hitchcock, K-19: The Widowmaker, Das Boot Also Definitely Rocky Horror, Chicago & My Cousin Vinny! What a great bunch!

1-3 (I'm flexible heh)
What are you most looking forward to in August?
Getting more done around the house to get it in order. Hopefully a beach trip.
I'm not sure I have a favorite. I joined Book of the Month club with a couple friends and everything so far has been great! Currently reading Mexican Gothic by Silvia Moreno-Garcia
Elf
Would love to be in a more mountainy area, but my awesome job and our family are here so I think we'll just be good taking vacations
This is #3 and 99% suredsure we're done after
Camping!
What is you favorite movie? Don’t have one, we don’t watch many movies.
If money were no worry, and you could live anywhere, where would it be? Outside of London, I worked there for a month and if it hadn’t been for my dog and husband I never would have come back!
How many kids do you think will complete your family? This is #2 and pretty sure this is it!
What are you most looking forward to in August? One more month closer to Halloween!! And 2nd trimester
What is your favorite movie? Blade Runner or The Graduate (though @szwill86 you reminded me how much I love Forgetting Sarah Marshall! MH and I watched that in the hospital the night DD was born while she was sleeping but we were too excited to sleep. We couldn't be bothered to watch the Oscars lol.)
If money were no worry, and you could live anywhere, where would it be? Sweden! I would love a cottage on an island a couple of hours outside of Stockholm. That said, I love my real life too, where I get to live by a lake in a small town on the Appalachian Trail in New England, and I love spending the summers near Lake Michigan with my parents.
How many kids do you think will complete your family? This is #2, and I *think* we're done? But I wouldn't rule out a third, especially because I'm adopted and we've discussed adopting in the future.
What are you most looking forward to in August? August is my 7th wedding anniversary with MH, as well as three birthdays in our family. We'll get to enjoy some final time in Michigan before heading home for the start of the school year. It's always bittersweet to feel summer ending and leave my parents' house, but nice to go back home and start a new year as well.
