A little Q & A

Get ready for super long, full of information, fun post.

Duet Diva asked...

Besides Outback (which she knows is my fav), where is my favorite place to eat?

I love Carraba's. I think I like it more than Outback. I always get the same thing...Filet Marsala with veggies and pasta alfredo. I'm sure it has like 5,000 calories but who cares when it is THAT good!

What is my favorite thing about John Allen (my hubby)?

It is hard to pick just one thing. I love almost everything about him, except the fact that he leaves his wet towels on the bed and/or floor every day. I guess my favorite thing would have to be his love of surprises. Whether it is him surprising me or the other way around. He keeps things interesting and we always have a good time together.

Do I wear perfume? If so, what kind?

I have several. I usually wear Design by ????. I also have Lacoste perfume and I love Miracle by Lancome.

When I am all by myself, what do I like to do?

I love to do crafts. I got a sewing maching for Christmas and am looking forward to learning how to sew. I like to paint and draw. I also LOVE to read.

What has been my best mommy memory?

There are so many! If I had to pick a favorite, it would be the first time we met. When I first counted her ten little toes, first touched her little fingers and kissed her little cheeks. Everything about that day was so special and it has only gotten better from then on.

Stephanie asked...

How did we decide on the name Emma?

Well, you see, it all starts back in high school. I am Jane Austen girl. While Emma is not my favorite JA novel (that prize goes to Pride and Prejudice...ooooh, Mr Darcy makes my heart do jumping-jacks) ...I fell in love with the name. It only helped when Rachel used the name. No other name would do. I'm just glad that my JA (John Allen) liked it too!

If Emma were a boy, what would his name have been?

Good thing we didn't have a boy, b/c we could not settle on a boys name! I liked Jackson, Grayden, and Sam. He liked James, Allen and Robert. Still can't settle on a boys name, but we do have another girls name and NO I'm not telling. :)

What are our plans for Emma's birthday?

We are having family and friends come to a Clemson themed party with lots of polka dots and fun activities for all. That's ALL I'm saying. :)

Ellen asked...

How are thing going with our move? Do we like living closer to family?

Things are great! We love being so close to our families and definately don't miss our long drives back to Raleigh. For those that don't know, we are currently living in my parents basement apartment and have just started looking for a house in SC. It was rough to transition into such a smaller living environment, but my parents have made it WONDERFUL! Emma loves being so close to Granna and Papa and since my mom keeps Em while I work, it makes it easy to "drop her off" at daycare...just a quick walk up the stairs.

How did I meet the hubby?

Are you ready for a long story? Well, we worked together at Outback for a long time before we started dating. In fact, we hardly ever spoke. Then one night, I was supposed to work behind the bar with a guy named Jason. Right before my shift, Jason's girlfriend came in and asked to pick up my shift. I gave in and decided I would go and meet my roommate for a quick bite. On my way home, my roomie and I decided to stop by Charlie T's to see if our friend, Erin was working. We walked in the door and saw John Allen (my hubby) sitting at the bar by himself. You see, he had just moved into a new apartment and did not have cable hooked up and he REALLY needed to watch a basketball game on TV. We walked over and sat down with him and the rest is history. We spent the night hanging out and had our first official "date" a couple of nights later. I often think about ALL the things that had to happen for us to meet that night. Thank you Jason, Jennifer, Mandi, Erin, and Northside Cable Company.

This was SO much fun! If you have any more questions, shoot! And, do a post on your blog...let's get to know each other!
