1.) Do you have any tattoos? If yes, what of and where? No, but I've always thought about getting one on my ring finger. It would be hidden except for when I'm not wearing my rings. It's the only thing I can imagine wanting on my body FOREVER.
2.) Do you have any piercings? If yes, where? When I was 18 I had my belly button pierced. I kept it in until after our wedding, then thought it was time for me to leave it behind. Now that I'm pregnant, not totally pumped about the hole it left behind...turns out my mom was right, the hole won't just close up and go away
Don't you just hate it when Mom's right?
3.) Top 3 favorite bands 1. Matchbox 20 2. Maroon 5 3. Dave Matthews
4.) Top 3 favorite movies 1. The Holiday 2. The Emperor's New Groove (yes, you read correctly) 3. can't think of a 3rd
5.) What are you looking forward to most, post pregnancy? Holding our baby!!!
We also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And HOPE does not dissappoint.
