Sunday Survey!

A day late and a dollar short, I know, but here is this week's survey ... ENJOY!  You can copy and paste the survey into a comment below, so I can take a look at your answers too.  :)

1. Have you and a friend ever have an argument because you were attracted to the same person?

Hmmm ... no not that I can think of.
2. Who never returns your phone calls?

I don't call many people, so no one.  I'm not a fan of talking on the phone.
3. What was your favorite childhood toy?

Probably all my millions of barbies.
4. Who is the last person you greeted at your door?

A guy who came by today to buy our exersaucer (that was a sad moment to see it go, but it was just sitting here collecting dust).
5. Would you change anything about your life right now?

I would be a stay at home mom if I could.  I hate having to leave my babies every day.
6. Who is the easiest person for you to talk to?

My husband.  He can also be the most difficult at times, but he's pretty easy going and just really easy to talk to about things.
7. If you could live in any ancient city during the height of the quality of its society and culture, which one would you choose?

Umm .. I must not be educated enough to answer this question.  lol
8. What is the most exciting event you’ve ever witnessed?

As cliche as this is going to sound ... the birth of both of my children.  :)

9. What do you consider the ideal age to have a first child?

I don't really think there is an ideal age ... so as long as you are able to provide for a child and love him/her, then I think any age is an ideal age to have a first child.

Sunday Survey!

It's time for this week's survey ... ENJOY!  If you feeling like snagging it, leave me a comment, so I can check out your answers!


1. Have you ever lost a lover and spent way too much time wondering what they were doing?
Nope.  Well, unless you count the two times John and I broke up before we finally got married.

2. What was your favorite vacation ever?

I've had a lot of fun ones, but probably my favorite was when we went to Jamaica to get married and for our honeymoon.  It was amazing!

3. Do you like surprises? If yes, what kinds? Or are you one of those people who absolutely has to know what's going on before it happens? 

I love surprises!  I don't get them very often, though.

4. Have you ever written a poem? Feel free to share one.

Nope.

5. Did anything interesting show up in your mail lately besides the bills? 

I don't think so ... we should be getting the invitation to Jacob's Open House at his preschool soon, though.  That'll be interesting!

6. How many of your friendships have lasted more than ten years? Which of your current friends do you feel will still be important to you ten years from now? Family members don't count.

All, I can say is if it weren't for social networking sites (i.e., Facebook), I wouldn't be in touch with any of my friends from more than a few years back.

7. Do you own a pet? If so, do you buy them presents for holidays? Do you consider your pet(s) spoiled? If you don't own one, do you think you will one day? 


I have a dog, Chloe, that lives with my parents right now.  And a cat, Bella, that lives with us.  I used to get them tons of toys and whatnot for holidays and their birthdays, but now it's some treats and that's it.  It's funny how the dog or cat are your babies prior to having kids and then as soon as you have kids they become just the dog or cat.  lol

8. It's Friday afternoon and you're planning your weekend. What's on your agenda on a hot August night?

Staying in somewhere that's air conditioned, that's for sure.  IDK, though.   Nowadays, nothing.  Staying home with the kids.  Prior to having them, probably dinner out and drinks somewhere. 

9. What's your worst nervous habit?

I shake my leg when I'm nervous.

A Letter to My First Born!

My dearest Jacob,

I don't know why I've put off writing you a letter for so long.  I should have done this the day you were born, but that day was a complete whirlwind and honestly the details are a bit foggy.  Some day I'll share your birth story with you.  I hope it means as much to you as it does to me!

You are such a beautiful little boy.  Always smiling and laughing.  Every day you crack us up with another cute little anecdote or story.  I wonder sometimes where you pick these things up.  You certainly are a little sponge, always soaking up anything and everything you can. 

You're about to start preschool in a few weeks and I can't wait!  I'm pretty nervous for you, though, I won't lie.  I'm sure you will do fine, but a mother can never help worrying about her babies.

I'm hoping this blog will be around for many, many years to come, so I can show you some day the letters that I am planning to write you and those I will write to your brother.  It'll act as your digital "baby book".  I'm so honored to have you in my life and so lucky to be able to call you my sweet little boy!  I love you, Bubba!

Love, Mommy
