My internet friend Becky is hosting a fun blogger link-up today. Since I have fallen off of the blogging wagon a little bit, I thought this would be a fun way to get back to it.



1. How long have you been blogging? And what got you started on blogging? Has your blog changed?
This is a fun question. I started blogging a long, long time ago on Xanga. One of my biggest life regrets is deleting that Xanga. It was all about our newlywed days! I just got paranoid about IRL friends reading it and deleted it one day. Big mistake. 2. Did you go to college? If so where, and what did you study?
I went to Missouri Western State University for my Bachelor's degree. It's in Business Administration- Marketing Major. 

My MBA came from Northwest Missouri State University, but I attended through the online program with only a few classes on campus. 

3. Where have you traveled?
I've mostly traveled in the US, but I've been fortunate to visit a lot of places. Some of my favorite domestic locations are Charleston, SC, Savannah, GA and Outer Banks, NC. I would love to live near the coast someday. Nathan and I went on a cruise to the Bahamas and that was fun. I'd love to take a big European vacation someday soon as well as travel more in the US. I have never been to California, Washington DC or the upper East coast like Maine and Maryland, and of course I want to see NYC!

4. If you won the lottery, what would be the first thing you would buy?
I'd pay off debt and then we'd definitely buy a bigger house. 5. What are your 3 biggest pet peeves?
Bad grammar, toilet paper unrolling the wrong way and people who take others for granted.6. What is your favorite movie?
I could never choose just one, but my cop out answer is always Grease.

7. What is your drink of choice; wine, beer, or liquor. Or Water, Soda, Tea?
I just gave up drinking my love, Dr. Pepper, so I guess I'd say water or sweet tea.8. What is something you enjoy to do when you have me time?
SLEEP9. If you could have a $10,000 shopping spree to one store, which store would it be?
Probably a furniture store like Pottery Barn, but I'm not sure how far $10,000 would go there.10. Share with us an embarrassing moment of your past? Or present.
Nothing comes immediately to mind other than running as hard as I could straight into a brick school building with my eyes shut.11. What day would you love to relive again?
I guess Deacon's birth. I choose it over Manning's because I was in labor for zero hours with Deacon's compared to 18 hours with Manning. ;)

12. If your life was turned into a movie... what actor would play you?
Well...the only actress I've ever been told I resemble is Julia Stiles and I think she's ugly so I'm going to go with who I WISH I resembled- Scarlett Johansson. 13. What are the jobs you had in high school/college/the early years?
I worked at McDonald's, Hy-Vee (grocery store), and Golden Corral before getting married. Since marriage at age 19, I've worked at Carlos O'Kelly's (Mexican Restaurant) and in banking. Now I work at a church!14. Show us a picture from high school or college.
Well, I've only been out of college for a year, but since this is all in good fun...here's one from our before kids days. Super flattering of me, I know.

 15. If you could travel anywhere in the world, all expenses paid, where would you go?
Fiji, Bora Bora, or Turks and Caicos...someplace remote and tropical like that.16. Show us the most current picture of you or you, or your family, or anything of meaning to you. 

Me and my two sweeties on Mother's Day

17. Where do you see your life 5 years from now?
I don't really know, but hopefully Nathan and I have grown together and have accomplished some more of our dreams. Knee deep in the water somewhere would be nice. :)
