3) What is the nicest thing someone has ever done for you?
We moved shortly before I got pregnant with DD. I didn't know the neighbors well at the time other than waving and saying hi while out walking the dog. They found out that we didn't have family or friends in the state and that I was pregnant. The neighborhood got together and threw a small baby shower. At the end of the shower they gave me a phone number list of all their numbers in case I ever needed anything. They made us feel like we were an immediate part of their community. We have since moved again, but I still love those people.
4. What is the nicest thing you ever done for someone else?
I cannot think of anything big off the top of my head.... I send cookies and other treats to the people in my grandma's nursing home.

Just the two holes in my ears
6) If you were to have a social drink, what is your drink of choice?
Strawberry daiquiri

My phone. It is the best way to keep in touch with my family and friends since they live so far away.

To compete on the Amazing Race. I have zero desire to be on t.v., but I would love to run the race and participate in the challenges.
9) What would your dream job be?
Volunteer with FLAG (farmers legal action group)
10) What was the last thing that made you cry?
I got teary eyed during a news story about a little boy and his best friend, his elderly neighbor. They showed them playing and gardening together. The boy moves and you can tell how difficult the move was on both of them.
2. My best friend says I am caring, honest and emotional.
3. The nicest thing anyone has ever done for me was- when I was pregnant last year we had nobody throwing us a baby shower. The women in my online support group felt bad and they all surprised me by ordering something from my registry. I couldn't believe such a wonderful gesture was coming from women who had never even met me in real life.
4. The nicest thing I've done for someone else was probably taking my best friend to London after her mom died and she was really depressed.
5. I have two holes in my left ear, three in my right. I have 4 tattoos- wrist, ring finger, back of neck and top of foot.
6. I like a nice glass of wine.
7. I can't live without- ....it's a toss up between music and my car.
8. I do have a bucket list, probably the craziest thing on it (according to some people) is I'd like to see Nessie.
9. Honestly being a SAHM was always my dream, but if I were to do something else I think it would be fun to design clothes, if I actually knew how to sew LOL. I love the creativity behind it. I'd want to be good enough to only do what I wanted though.
10. The last thing that made me cry was my husband.
