Thank you!

did you go to college? Yes for 2 years. I don't have a college degree

what is your dream job? I have my dream job!

if money were no object, where would you like to own vacation homes? The Hamptons, NYC, I would love a lake home and a home on thousands of acres of land.

Do you like the beach? Yes. I would love to visit Hawaii some day
What was you wedding like? It was a fairytale wedding. I had a Cinderella gown....just beautiful and so perfect (It was custom designed and made). My colors were pink. I got married on Dec. 20th. My church back home was just huge and they had the altar decorated with these enormous Christmas trees flocked with snow. It was a Winter Wonderland. I loved my wedding day.

Where did you go on your honeymoon? Okay, my honeymoon on the other hand did not match up to the wedding, but we really enjoyed ourselves, nonetheless. We went to Natchitoches, LA. For those of you who have seen Steel Magnolias, this is the town it was filmed in! It was very relaxing and romantic all in a southern kind of way! Carriage rides, boat rides along the river, Christmas lights and carolers, plantations...we would love to go back some day with the kids.

Maddie&EthansMom replied: Where did you grow up at? Wichita Falls, Texas (armpit of the world)

Maddie&EthansMom replied: Do you have any hobbies? If so, what are they? Yes. I love scrapbooking and sewing.

What is your favorite thing about being a mommy? I love everything about it, really. The moment my children were born I knew what I was put on this planet to do.

Do you want anymore children? That is a tough one. I've always wanted 3. DH says no, but 4 years down the road he may want another one. Time will tell I guess.

What are your pet peeves? I hate noises. I hate when people drive down my street with their bass turned up while my babies are napping or in the middle of the night.

ediep replied: are there any TV shows that you hate to miss?
if you have tivo, what shows do you record? (or if you don't have it, what would you record if you did)

if you have tivo, what shows do you record? (or if you don't have it, what would you record if you did) I don't have TiVo, but if I did I would record Oprah, Desparate Housewives, Extreme Makeover Home Edition and made for TV movies like the Hallmark specials.
