4. If you could live anywhere, where would it be?: I've only recently moved to GA, before that we lived in IL. I miss winter because I loved snow.. but the extended fall down here is something I never knew I would love.. so maybe I would want to stay here.

I love gaming conventions (shout out to anyone else who treks to Indy in August.. sad I can't go there year I'll be too pregnant!) and I have a profound love for the story telling aspect of table top RPG. It's a chance to take an adventure, tell a story, and to be someone else for a little while. I can't wait until my children are old enough to play their own characters and roll initiative for our own table top adventuring battles.

As I kid, I started a tradition of reading the entire Harry Potter series (as much as was completed year by year) every summer vacation. It had been several years but finally re-read them in entirety this summer and am hoping to keep up with it!

wildrainbow · January 2020

@RedBaramid H and I love RPGs! He actually got me into them when we started dating. I cant for our kiddos to be able to play, it will be fun to see how they use their imaginations for this. They already create elaborate worlds just playing pretend.

lachnessmomster · January 2020

2. What do you want to be when you grow up? Less stressed.

3. How many siblings do you have? Just me.

4. If you could live anywhere, where would it be? Somewhere high in the mountains of West Virginia. A cabin or brick house with land for my kids to play, where cases of wine and groceries are delivered to my door, and everyone leaves me alone. 😂 (I'm not usually so antisocial. I think I'm still mentally tapped out from the holidays.)

5. What's your favorite pastime? I love reading and taking photos. I'd one day like to be a professional photographer. I don't love the idea of going back to school (I already have a degree in English), but taking some photography classes doesn't sound terrible. I'm just self-taught to this point. Mostly, though, I just keep kids alive these days.

@RedBaramid We lived in GA for about eight years before moving here a little over a year ago and are hoping to get back there soon. We were in Savannah, and I miss it all the time!

babytimeagain · January 2020

@gomillis That’s incredible! I lived in Germany for three years (which was incredible in its own right), but Scotland is the most magical place we traveled- with the friendliest people, to boot! When I visited, we did Edinburgh then rented a car for a week and drive all around visiting the distilleries, ending in Glasgow. Isle of Skye was incredible. I’m hoping to go back in the next few years. What an incredible experience you must have had.
