Blogger 411

I've seen this on a few other people's blogs and thought it looked like a fun idea. Better idea than what I was coming up with to write about today....which was nada. :) I hope you enjoy!

1. How long have you been blogging? And what got you started on blogging? Has your blog changed?

I have been blogging for less than a year. I started blogging about my life as a Reserve Army Wife, but I think I mainly talk about our kiddos and how we are dealing with this deployment.

2. Did you go to college? If so where, and what did you study?

I did, I went to Western Michigan University in Kalamazoo Michigan. Yes there actually is a place named Kalamazoo. I studied Elementary Education with minors in math, reading and social studies.

3. Where have you traveled?

I have traveled quite a bit. I have been to a few states plus England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Spain, Italy, Australia and South Africa. I love traveling in Europe.

4. If you won the lottery, what would be the first thing you would buy?

I've thought about this a lot and I don't know what I would buy first, but I sure would enjoy trying to decide.

5. What are your 3 biggest pet peeves?

* Poor customer service

*People who cannot drive

* People who insist they know what they are talking about when in fact they do not.

6. What is your favorite movie?

The Princess Bride. I love that movie.

7. What is your drink of choice; wine, beer, or liquor. Or Water, Soda, Tea?

My first choice would be pop (yes I call it pop, you bake with soda) but seeing as I'm trying to lose weight I would have to say water.

8. What is something you enjoy to do when you have me time?

Watching my trashy TV shows or a good girly movie, blogging or reading.

9. If you could have a $10,000 shopping spree to one store, which store would it be?
Target. They have everything you need, plus it's all cute.

10. If your life was turned into a movie... what actor would play you?
I would like Sandra Bullock or Rachel McAdams. I love both of them as actresses. I don't think I look like either one, but I would be very honored for them to play me. :)

11. What are the jobs you had in high school/college/the early years?

Receptionist at my dad's insurance agency

Front desk agent at the Inn on Mackinac and Murray Hotel

Front desk agent at Courtyard, Days Inn and Bay Pointe Inn

Do you see a pattern?

Substitute teacher

12. Show us a picture from high school or college.

13. If you could travel anywhere in the world, all expenses paid, where would you go?

Egypt and Russia

14. Show us the most current picture of you or you, or your family, or anything of meaning to you.

Most recent of the kids, I don't have one of the whole family yet

15. Where do you see your life 5 years from now?

Being happy. Maybe living in a newer house, but hopefully no more deployments to deal with, both of us teaching and enjoying our time together as a family.

I hope you enjoyed getting to know me more. :) I sure enjoyed filling this out. :)
