10. Biggest pet peeve about your DH/DW (only 1!). Something you love about him/her.
Pet Peeve: He gets all motivated to get things done and tells me about all the stuff he's going to do, then he does about 10% of it and loses all motivation.
Something I love: He's very handy around the house and is able to fix things that we might normally have to pay someone else to do.

5. Be honest, did you experience gender disappointment at all? Yup. I was worried about having a boy because there is a history of congenital heart defects in boys in my family. So far so good and I couldn't imagine our family without Evan.
6. If you had an extra $500 and it had to be spent on yourself by the end of the day, what would you buy with it? No saving! Brown distressed riding boots, a sweater from anthropologie and new trouser jeans.

9. Are you competitive? It depends what we're talking about.

6. If you had an extra $500 and it had to be spent on yourself by the end of the day, what would you buy with it? No saving! I want to make a new wrap, so I would buy the material for that, and then some clothes and shoes that make me feel cute rather than like "Frump Girl"
7. Last movie you saw in the theater? What about at home? At a theater, "The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnasis" at home, "17 Again"
8. Is there a baby name you love but won't use for some reason? I love a lot of names, but DH really loved Henry and I won't use it because the second we said it to my parents my dad said, "Like HANK?" and I hate the name Hank for no good reason. So now I don't like it anymore. And I love the name Cora, but I worked with a really horrible girl named Cora, so it sort of left a bad taste.
9. Are you competitive? Sometimes but not really.
10. Biggest pet peeve about your DH/DW (only 1!). Something you love about him/her. He is a mouth breather and hence the worlds loudest (and most disgusting) chew-er. In public he can reign it in, but if he is sitting on the couch and relaxing, it is like sitting next to a cow. Something I love - he is an amazing father and treats both "his girls" (me and C) so good!

6. If you had an extra $500 and it had to be spent on yourself by the end of the day, what would you buy with it? No saving! A new camera!
7. Last movie you saw in the theater? What about at home? In theaters-Tangled. At home- Benjamin Button.
8. Is there a baby name you love but won't use for some reason? I Love Parker for a boy but DH hates it. Lucy for a girl- but MIL had a dog for 12 yrs names lucy. Oh and mainly because no more babies- haha.
9. Are you competitive? Super.
10. Biggest pet peeve about your DH/DW (only 1!). Something you love about him/her. It's the same quality. I have a love/hate with his easy going nature.

Now I couldn't imagine not having a little girl.6. If you had an extra $500 and it had to be spent on yourself by the end of the day, what would you buy with it? No saving!

3. When you were a kid what did you want to be when you "grew up"? Did it happen? I wanted to be in the military and be a female fighter pilot. I remember this from when I was little and first went to the airforce base (in plattsburg) at the time. But I broke my hand at the end of my senior year which took over 18 months to heal, so my life took another path. I love my job now but I still wonder "what if?"
4. What are your top 3 memorable vacations? 1. Our trip to Hawaii in Nov. of 2003, 2. Our western 10 day Caribbean cruise, and 3.

9. Are you competitive? Yes, very!!
10. Biggest pet peeve about your DH/DW (only 1!). Something you love about him/her. Pet Peeve: He can hold a grudge. He once was mad at my BIL for 2 years b/c of something that my BIL said. It was horrible, he wouldn't speak to him.
Something I love: That he's a hard worker, there isn't a single lazy bone in his body. He works very hard (usually over 70 hours a week) for his family. It isn't always great for us personally being apart so much, but it's allowing me to stay home all summer and I am so grateful for that.
