3) Red
4) Disney World, St Thomas, and Myrtle Beach
5) Hawaii, an Alaskan Cruise, Europe
6) My BFF...she's a single mom to 2 awesome kids...her ex up and turned into a big douche one day out of the blue and left them, and she's worked her behind off to make sure those kids' lives stayed as normal as possible despite their father being a worthless p.o.c..
7) I am not so particular on the where- just that I hope to one day have enough money to retire
8) If DD and any future kids remember me as a mom who loved her kids and would do anything she could for them, then I will feel like my life had meaning

6) Who do you admire? I admire a girlfriend I work with. Her hubby died in a skiing accident when she was 8 months pregnant with their second son. She has spent the last two years rebuilding her life with her two boys without her partner. Despite the heartache she has, she still manages to radiate joy and is an absolute inspiration to be around!
7) Where do you want to retire? Probably Bend, OR

We Made A Wish....
And You Came True!
1) Who was your favorite celebrity as a child?
Hmm, Fred Savage in elementary school and later Leonardo decaprio and Kerri Russel
2) Do you have pets? How many, what kind and names...
At springer spaniel, he's super old and his name is max.
3) What's your favorite color?
Blue
4) Where do you like to vacation?
Places with history. I like Macinaw, Chicago, Florida.
5) Where WOULD you like to vacation if money was no object?
Europe. Specifically the British isles and Spain.
6) Who do you admire?
My BFF
7) Where do you want to retire?
Some place warm by the beach.
8) How do you want to be remembered?
I want to be remembered as kind and someone who helps people.
2) Do you have pets? How many, what kind and names..
3) What's your favorite color? purple & cobalt blue (am also really liking magenta as well)
4) Where do you like to vacation? home, day trips to the coast/ Monterey area are nice
5) Where WOULD you like to vacation if money was no object? Nice place in Monterey area, or other foggy coastal area. Would also like to take DH & LO to Norway, Finland, Sweeden (Scandanivia) since that is our heritage. Italy & Germany & New Zeland would be nice as well. DH isn't a fan of flights due to lack of leg room & not being able to move around enough (problem with being tall) so 1st class tickets would probably help convince him of making the trans-ocean trips. Used to want to go to Antartica & Africa but no longer have the globe trotting desire.
6) Who do you admire? DH is an amazing partner & father to our daughter. He takes such good care of us, even when he doesn't feel good, he takes care of us. Also all the single parents out there & parents with multiple kiddos - I don't see how they do it. We have 1 and our hands are full.
7) Where do you want to retire? My area is fine, wouldn't mind slightly further North or West where summers would be slightly cooler & winters slightly warmer. But that is what a/c and the heater are for. Plus, when there are heat waves, the coast can actually be hotter due to onshore flows.
8) How do you want to be remembered? Suppose as a good mom, wife, and as someone who did their best.
1) Who was your favorite celebrity as a child? Sandra Bullock in her speed days
2) Do you have pets? How many, what kind and names...
A red Siberian Husky named Shamrock
3) What's your favorite color? Blue
4) Where do you like to vacation? Outer Banks, NC, New York, Florida, anywhere there is family.
5) Where WOULD you like to vacation if money was no object? I would love to go to Bora Bora
6) Who do you admire? People that aren't afraid to be themselves
7) Where do you want to retire? Probably in VA where we live now and I hope dd and anymore kids we have stay in this area (wishful thinking!)
8) How do you want to be remembered? As someone who is kind and as a good mom.
Do you have pets? How many, what kind and names... Dog, blue heeler, Clutch. He's really more of a middle child than a pet
What's your favorite color? Blue (or red for LO)
Where do you like to vacation? When we can make it work, Kauai is our spot. It's the only place DH actually enjoyed himself.
Where WOULD you like to vacation if money was no object? Kauai, for longer & every year
Who do you admire? My momS - my birth mom for being so amazingly strong & my mom for having so much love to give. And my DH for passing his 6 month sobriety milestone
Where do you want to retire? Where I live now, just with property up in the surrounding mountains... And a vacation property in Kauai!
How do you want to be remembered? Eeeek, erm, no idea - a good person overall?
When I was really young I was definitely a NKOTB fan. In Jr high I was obsessed with Keanu Reeves. That was when Speed came out.
2) Do you have pets? How many, what kind and names...
A dog name lily and cats named briscoe and gabby. They all came from shelters. Lily is a black lab mix, briscoe is a grey short hair tiger cat, and gabby has long black fur.
3) What's your favorite color?
I have never really had a favorite color.
4) Where do you like to vacation?
I'd like to talk DH into a long weekend in Puerto Rico or the Bahamas just the two of us before baby 2 comes, but he doesn't think his parents can handle DD for that long. Oops I read this wrong. We have never gone to the same place twice. There are so many places in the world that we try to do something new each time. I have been to Puerto Rico but added it above as a place I am thinking of now because it is an inexpensive flight for us.
5) Where WOULD you like to vacation if money was no object?
I know I will take my safari trip eventually but not sure about the others.
Safari trip to Africa, Tahiti, I've never been to South America so maybe Argentina, Australia, Japan
6) Who do you admire?
Anyone who works hard to achieve their goals. If something were handed to me I would take it, but I definitely admire those that earned everything that they have.
7) Where do you want to retire?
I would love to be near the ocean somewhere.
8) How do you want to be remembered?
As a good person.
