1. What's the most adventurous things you've ever done?

White water rafting; secret trip to NYC with 2 friends before my senior year in college--especially adventurous because Blackout 2003 occurred at the time, so that was fun; hmm, can't think of all that many "adventurous stuff"

2. Do you have any siblings? older/younger?

2 1/2, all older. Brother and sister I grew up and a half sister that is more like an aunt (she's 20 years older, from my dad's first marriage, never lived with us)

3. Describe the worst date you've ever been on.

I don't think I've ever actually been on a bad date. There was that time I ran into a guy I was dating out at a bar... and also his girlfriend. I had no idea he even had a girlfriend. I was absolutely shocked when she comes up to me and is all like "that's MY boyfriend." Hello, chin? Meet floor.

4. If you are married, how did he propose?

Well I forced his hand after I admitted I found the ring a few days earlier (and he had it for 3 MONTHS--apparently kept trying to think of the "perfect" way to propose). The day I told him we decided to go out to dinner to make it official, and as I was walking down the stairs all dressed up he kneels on the stairs and proposes.

5. What's the last thing you ate today?

homemade Cheerio Rice Krispie treats (basically Rice Krispie treats but with Cheerios instead)

6. What kind of activities did you do growing up? sports, dance, etc...

Dance, softball, basketball, swimming, piano, rode my bike everywhere

1. What's the most adventurous things you've ever done? I don't really have a great answer here.... snorkeling over a reef in Jamaica is all I can think of right now.

2. Do you have any siblings? older/younger? One sister who is three years older.

3. Describe the worst date you've ever been on. He complained about having to give a shift way and therefore not make any money that night. Then he complained that I didn't finish my meal. He said "I hate it when people order something expensive and they can't even eat it all." We were at Chili's. Pretty sure my meal was $10.

4. If you are married, how did he propose? He took me on a scavenger hunt of all the great/important dates we'd ever gone on. Then a nice dinner and finally ended up at a "look out" location where we went on our first date. While he grabbed the ring out of the car he asked me to run get the tickets because the place was about to close. I obviously could tell what the day was leading up to so when the lady acted like I was crazy for buying tickets when they were closing in about 3 minutes, I demanded she let in. DH told them what he was doing after I walked away and we ended up having the whole place to ourselves after they made everyone else leave.

5. What's the last thing you ate today? coconut Greek yogurt! I love everything coconut.

6. What kind of activities did you do growing up? sports, dance, etc... I've always been an artist (that sounds braggy but I couldn't think of a better way to say it.) and I was a majorette in high school.

Happy Hump Day!

1. What's the most adventurous things you've ever done? Trail running up and down a mountain. Going up is hard work (gasping for air, legs burning), but going down is the real adventure. If you stop and think then you're definitely going to fall (and hopefully not bust your face!)

2. Do you have any siblings? older/younger? Yes! An older brother, a younger sister (who has also dealt with IF)... and then a much younger sister. She's 18 years younger than me

3. Describe the worst date you've ever been on. I didn't really date very much. I met my DH first thing in college.

4. If you are married, how did he propose? On Christmas Eve in Central Park on a Horse & Buggy ride. He took me to Manhattan for a dinner and a show. He was so obvious - I knew what he was up to. We went to the tree at Rockafeller Center... he was so nervous and chickened out!

5. What's the last thing you ate today? Doves dark chocolate squares with almonds. Dinner's ready & waiting for DH to come home any minute

6. What kind of activities did you do growing up? sports, dance, etc... I was and still am a band nerd

1. What's the most adventurous things you've ever done? I traveled to Zambia and South Africa completely by myself.

Crasian · May 2013

1. What's the most adventurous things you've ever done? I have no idea! I once rode my bike like 5 miles at midnight to see my boyfriend (now husband), including on the highway, when I was like 19. What an idiot!

2. Do you have any siblings? older/younger? I was adopted and found out I have many biological half-siblings who are all much older than me. My adoptive parents divorced and I have a half sister and 2 step siblings on my Dad's side. Oh, and my adoptive dad also has his own bio-daughter who was given up for adoption, who found us when I was about 8. Good times!

And I have 2 sisters in law and one brother in law.

3. Describe the worst date you've ever been on. I'm editing this from my original posting! I once had a GREAT date with this guy who was chasing after me for a while, then dropped off the face of the earth after we went out once. Then months later, I ran into him at a diner (after prom, lol - he was older though and not in high school anymore) and he followed me into the ladies' room to confront me about why I NEVER CALLED HIM! What a tool!

4. If you are married, how did he propose? It was honestly not that exciting, we just decided to get married and went to the courthouse and did it! Then we had a wedding months later for our families.

5. What's the last thing you ate today? I have been eating Pretzel Crisps like there's no tomorrow.

6. What kind of activities did you do growing up? sports, dance, etc... I do a lot more now than I did when I was a kid...I never played sports or did gymnastics or anything. I don't think I ever ran a mile until I was like, 21! I try and stay very active now though - I'm in much better shape now as an adult than I was when I was in high school or younger.

katib77 · May 2013

1. What's the most adventurous things you've ever done? Cliff jumping off a 40ft cliff in Jamaica. And whitewater rafting a level five course in West Virginia. Imiss rafting, no where to really do it nearby in flat land Illinois.

2. Do you have any siblings? older/younger? I have an older brother who's turning 39 next week.

3. Describe the worst date you've ever been on. Every time I asked him a question he'd give a one word answer. So I had to fill most of the conversation. At the end of the date, he asked me for a second one and I was like "You thought that went *well*??!" It was two hours of torture.

4. If you are married, how did he propose? I lost my job when we were long distance, and mentioned moving back to my home town to be with him or following my career and looking for a job in other markets. He said he wanted to move in together because "I kinda want to marry you." It was in my bed after he had held me crying. Less than a month later, in our new townhouse he got down on one knee in the living room and 'formally' asked. Maybe not romantic, but so us. He was my strength then, and still is.

5. What's the last thing you ate today? Just finished dinner of spaghetti & meatballs with garlic bread. Yum.

6. What kind of activities did you do growing up? I was in dance when I was really little but hated it. Was in Gymnastics until injury forced me out while I still had olympic dreams around age 10, and finally in High School since I still couldn't run do to my injury I got into Swimming and was on the swim team all four years and a lifeguard for seven years. I really miss swimming, but pools around here are so expensive.

scbedi · May 2013

1. What's the most adventurous things you've ever done? In March I went to Europe for 2 weeks with a bunch of teenagers...Yes it was a guided tour but it felt really adventurous to me! The next one would probably be back packing at Big Bend National Park in Texas with my dad when I was in High School.

2. Do you have any siblings? older/younger? I have 1 older brother. He is 4 years older than me.

3. Describe the worst date you've ever been on. In High School I was going out with this guy and we would alternate who would pay for the date. So, it was my turn to pay for the movie so he had me give him the money before paying for the tickets so it would look like he paid for it. yeah, right! That didn't last long!

4. If you are married, how did he propose? Back story---DH asked me to be his g/f while looking at stars...so the night he proposed we went and looked at stars. He looked like a total mess. Like, if I didn't know him I would have thought he was on drugs. I don't think he had shaved in 2 weeks. I guess he figured if I said yes with him looking like that then he would be golden!

5. What's the last thing you ate today? Hamburger with pickles and bbq sauce and some fried green bean fries. Oh! and beer (woodchucks..yum!!)!!

6. What kind of activities did you do growing up? sports, dance, etc... I did Gymnastics first, then dace after I got injured. After that I did cheer-leading through Middle and High School. National champ here!

Twinkie0612 · May 2013

1. What's the most adventurous things you've ever done?

White water rafting? It was in Tennessee, so the rapids were really small. I guess I'm not too adventurous.

2. Do you have any siblings? older/younger?

Twin sister and a younger brother

3. Describe the worst date you've ever been on.

Let's see there have been a few... There was a guy in college that had no car (he was in the Air Force). He told me on our first date that he wanted to have 10 kids and live on a farm in Iowa (a little heavy for the first date). Then he showed me his website for his "club" which looked slightly like a cult. The kicker was when he told me that he wanted to wait like two weeks before our relationship got more physical (Ok something is definitely off with this guy). We went our separate ways and I didn't give it a second thought until my friend months later told me that the reason he said that was because he had a "rash." Awesome.

4. If you are married, how did he propose?

DH is not a public display sort of person. When I wasn't home, He made me dinner and lined the front porch with candles. When I walked in he had spelled out "Will you marry me" in rose petals on the floor (although he forgot the "?"). He then got down on one knee and gave me the ring. It was sweet.

5. What's the last thing you ate today?

Frozen strawberry bar

6. What kind of activities did you do growing up? sports, dance, etc...

When I was little I did dance (ballet, tap, and jazz) and gymnastics. I wasn't very good at either. I also played softball (from like 5 through high school), bowled (high school and college), and played volleyball one year in junior high.

herecomesthesun · May 2013

2. Do you have any siblings? older/younger? One of each, I'm the oldest.

3. Describe the worst date you've ever been on. I had one date with a guy that was a local weather guy. He spent the entire night staring at my boobs (I wore a crew-neck tee) while he talked about himself and how he was like a celebrity. Then when I refused another date he accused me of having herpes and was afraid to tell him. Obvs that's the only reason anyone wouldn't go out with him again!

4. If you are married, how did he propose? In a fortune cookie.

5. What's the last thing you ate today? Greek Salad

6. What kind of activities did you do growing up? swimming, track, cheerleading

shelbeans82 · May 2013

3. Describe the worst date you've ever been on. Ehh, don't have any really terrible stories here (thankfully!)

4. If you are married, how did he propose? We had a party in our apartment for my birthday, he left to go "help his grandparents" and I was pissed I was cleaning/cooking by myself. He came home a couple hours later and offered me a Toblerone bar (chocolate) and I just said no thanks and put it in the fridge (it was hot out!). He kept asking me if I wanted chocolate, so finally I thought something was up. He had put the ring in the bar and resealed it, so I finally opened it and found my surprise! Its still a running joke about "what woman doesn't want chocolate?"

5. What's the last thing you ate today? Well the first thing I am eating is coffee The last thing I had yesterday was popcorn.

6. What kind of activities did you do growing up? sports, dance, etc... I did dancing (mostly tap). I also took piano lessons, then flute lessons, and in school was in marching band

GermanGirl2007 · May 2013

1. Hmm...this is a tough one. I am not too adventurous. I used to crash proms and weddings in my younger years. Didn't take advantage of free food or alcohol - just took advantage of a free dance floor and a chance to pick up dudes.

2. I have 3 sisters - 1 older and 2 younger, as well as an older BIL and 2 SIL's and 2 younger BIL's. I love my family. Smile

3. I have been on several bad dates, but the worst I can remember right now is one that I didn't know I was going on. My friend was trying to hook me up with this guy, but I told him I wasn't interested. Weeks later, he asked if I wanted to go bowling as a group, and I agreed, but when he was supposed to be picking me up, the guy he was trying to hook me up with showed up - alone. I was too polite to not hang out with him, so I did. By the end of the night he was saying that he knew we should be together, etc. It was WAY over the top and he came on WAY too strong. He called me for weeks afterwards. I tried to let him down easy, but man, that was rough.

4. It was my birthday - he surprised me by picking me up and taking me to get a pedicure and couples massage, and then out to dinner at one of our favorite restaurants. After dinner we went back to his house to watch a movie. We were just laying on the couch and he said "Will you do me a favor?" I thought he was going to ask me to grab the remote. Instead he said "Will you marry me?" Then got down on one knee and pulled out the ring. It was perfect. Smile

5. I haven't eaten today. I am getting over a stomach bug, so I am sipping on ginger peach tea from Argo instead.

6. I did everything. Like literally everything growing up. At some point in my childhood I did: horseback riding, dance, soccer, softball, basketball, volleyball, band, drama, cheerleading, speech, choir, newspaper, yearbook, etc. I was the boys basketball manager, soccer manager, wrestling manager, an office aide, a biology aide and an art aide. Whew!

futurehuber · May 2013

1. What's the most adventurous things you've ever done? Hmm, I'm kinda a wimp, lol. Maybe mountain biking down some steep terrains (even though I wanted to cry and not do it, haha). I also think IVF is pretty adventurous! I've got one round of that under my belt.

2. Do you have any siblings? older/younger? Yes, I have three. They are all younger. My youngest sibling is 10 years younger. I have two bros and a sis. Love them tons! (well youngest is kinda a little twerp, but still love him, lol)

3. Describe the worst date you've ever been on. Oh geeze, that was a long time ago (been with DH for 13 years) and I have a horrible memory. Maybe this one where I had met a guy sitting down originally. When he came to pick me up for a date a few nights later, I realized he was way shorter than me! (I'm 5'9") It's not the end of the world, but I was surprised...and he also talked about farting a lot, lol. No thanks.

4. If you are married, how did he propose? It was our 4-year dating anniversary. We went to Disneyland all day and then to dinner at a nice restaurant overlooking the water we always went to on our anniversary. I sort of knew it was coming, so I expected it there. Nope. Then DH had us walk down the beach (even though I was freezing in my dress, lol) to these rocks we had sat on and chatted back on our first date. He proposed there, super sweet.

5. What's the last thing you ate today? Just woke up. Last night's dinner was Greek food. Gyro, salad and rice. Yum!

6. What kind of activities did you do growing up? sports, dance, etc... I was in dance through high school. LOVED dancing and I miss it tons!
