Q&A

So, I know I'm not that interesting, but 2 people actually decided they wanted to know more about me from this post! Yippy!! So, it's their lucky day!

Shaina from: Post Smith asked:

Where are you from? What is your favorite color? Do you like sushi? Where did you go to school? How did you and your husband meet? What's your favorite book? :)

Well I am from Iowa, the great state! I've been very few places in the world, so I don't have a lot to compare it to, but I actually love it. I think I mostly love it because my family lives pretty close, only about 90 miles. (I'm hoping to move back to my hometown in the next 2-3 years depending on the economy situation)

I have a very strong HATE dislike for all things seafood. I'm not sure why, but I'm a huge texture person, so things such as shrimp makes my skin crawl.....

I went to college at Loras College and graduated with a BA in Criminal Justice. I am now going to school for my Masters in School Counseling at Buena Vista University.

My husband and I both worked at Best Buy. I started the week he quit, so we never officially met at Best Buy. His roommate also worked at Best Buy and we had planned to meet out for a few drinks after work one weekend night, so I brought a friend and he brought a friend (My now husband!!). Needless to say, neither I nor the guy I worked with didn't have a clue as to the plan that God had! I, however, am very very excited about how it worked out. It worked out just how it was suppose to! It's not the most exciting story, but there's more to it than that. This is the short version I suppose..... After we met, we didn't hang out for awhile, but once he finally got his courage to ask me on a date is when the real sparks started to fly. :-)

Gosh, my favorite book.... This one's a toughy..... I think I would have to say Of Mice and Men from my earlier days of reading or The Five Love Languages . If you haven't read it, you need to!



Taryn from: The Colorado Desert asked:

What are you most afraid of? I am most afraid of bugs (the more legs, the more it scares me!) and losing someone close to me. It terrifies me that I know I will have to live my parents someday, I just hope it's a long time off!

If you could only eat one food for the rest of your life, what would it be? Gosh, thats a toss up between Chinese and Mexican.... though I'd probably have to say Mexican because I only really love Chinese from this place in Dubuque, IA, so if you are ever there stop by House of China!

What is your biggest pet peeve? I have so many! haha but my biggest pet peeve is probably.... when people don't apprechiate the things others do for them and when people hang up without saying goodbye

Where is your favorite place in the world? In your house? In the word, my favorite place would have to be back in my hometown surrounded by family. In my house, probably the basement theater room because it's where my husband and I spend most of our time cuddled up watching movies...

So there you have it, you now know a little more about me... Whether you like it or not! :-) Thanks ladies for asking and if you ever want to know anything else, feel free to ask!

I totally understand you about loving your hometown and wanting to move back. I have never been to Iowa much- i just remember driving through one time to Illinois ant Des Moines was totally flooded.

So whats your favorite color? Did I miss the answer to that one?

Shaina said...

Yay! Thanks for the answers! And - John Steinbeck - what a great choice! I haven't read your other fave book...but I'm adding it to my giant list! :)

Shoot! I forgot the favorite color Taryn! My favorite color is actually pink.... Yes it's girly I know. I love pink Gerber Daisies, so that was the theme of our wedding pretty much. Anyway, yes it's pink and most all shades of pink! :-)

Shaina, it's a great read, especially for married couples. Loved it!
