8 Questions

8 Questions....

A fellow blogger friend (and sister in law) Ashlee tagged me for a game of 8 questions....

Simple Rules: Answer the 8 questions, come up with 8 new questions, then tag 8 friends...Enjoy!

Here are my questions:

1. Where is your favorite place to shop?

While living in the states, hands down, Target. Here in Japan, I'll just go with "on line". :)

2. What is your favorite book?

I love to read so I don't know if I can choose just one. Some of my favorites are "The Glass Castle" by Jeanette Walls; "Carry Me Home" by Sandra Kring; cheesy chick-lit books like the "Shopaholic" series by Sophie Kinsella; and "Chardonnay isn't for Sippy Cups, and other things I learned as a new mom" (that book is hilarious!!) Those are just a few- I could go on and on...

3. What is your most memorable vacation?

I've been lucky enough to travel to lots of places in my life, so this is hard to pick just one as well. I loved my wedding/honeymoon trip to Belize; my girls trip to Mexico; my trip in college to Australia and New Zealand; my mother/daughter trip to Hawaii; and my most recent family vacation to Malaysia and Thailand.

4. What are you most proud of (other than your kids of course)?

Several things- being a graduate of a prestigious college and having a career; being a wife of a military officer and supporting the US Air Force; moving 1/2 way around the world to Japan and diving right in to life here without skipping a beat; and (I know you said not kids but...) becoming a Mommy to the most wonderful little girl in the world.

5. Are you doing now what you thought you would be 10 yrs ago?

10 years ago I was dating my college sweetheart, and just starting my career as a teacher. I pictured myself being married and having 3 kids and probably still living in Texas in 10 years. It is now 10 years later, and I'm married (although not to the guy I was dating then), have a baby (1, not 3 yet) and live in Japan (definitely NOT Texas)!

6. If time and money were not an issue how many kids would you have?

3- that is what I've always pictured myself with. We have 1 now, and want 1 more for sure (Mal can't be a spoiled only!), but not sure if we will get to a third or not- depends on time, where we are stationed,etc.

7. Edward or Jacob???

Bleech- neither. I couldn't get through the first half of the first book in the series. I know, I know...I'm weird and crazy...
8.Who is your favorite actor/actress?

I think Tom Hanks is an amazing actor (although not in the "hotness" category). For that, I'd have to choose Scott Wolf or Josh Hartnett.

1. If you could go on a trip right now, where would it be?
So hard to chose just 1 place! I guess a US place would be San Fran and an out of US place would be Belize.
2. What is your favorite name (not the names of your children)?
My absolute favs I cannot share because they are possible names for a future babe, but after those it would be either Olivia Grace or Braxton
3.What is your favorite website?
There are so many, but at the moment it is Etsy
4. What is the one thing you are embarrassed you bought?
I honestly cannot think of anything I have purchased that would embarrass me for someone to know about.
5. Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
Done having babies, volunteering like crazy at the boys school, and taking weekend getaways with my man!
6. Are you a beer or wine drinker?
I like both, but prefer wine.
7. If you didn't have to work what would you do?
I have the best job, but if I wasn't staying home with my babes then I would love to run a children's charity.
8. What is your favorite blog?
Baby Half Off
