[Questions from Lauren (I just picked one set to answer)]

1. Favorite sports team?  I like to root for the team's my daddy loves.  He is from Detroit, so I root for the Lions, Tigers, and the Pistons.  I don't dislike watching sports, but I am by no means a die-hard fan!  I also enjoy watching the Rangers with my husband.  

2. Why do you blog?  I love connecting with other people.  I enjoy the idea of people reading what I write.  I also just like getting my thoughts out there.  Sometimes, it is a way to vent.  I love the realization that I am not the only one going through a certain struggle or hard time.

3. If you could travel anywhere in the world all expenses paid where would you go and why?  Probably  to Europe and going touring with my husband.  However, this trip also needs to include a personal assistant who speaks the language and mine and plans everything.  

4. Are you a homebody or someone who is always out and about and going?  At first I thought this said, "Are you a homeboy?"  I enjoy going out, but I crave time at my house, so I guess a homeBODY!

5. What do you miss most about your childhood?  Living at my parent's house.  Always having my siblings around.  That is why it is so exciting when we can all get together!

6. Where did you grow up?  Would you raise your children in the same town/city?  I grew up in Colleyville.  I loved my childhood, and I would def raise my kids there.  Don't really see that happening because I love where  I am now!

7. Favorite genre of music?  Favorite band and why?   I listen to whatever my husband has on.  I normally don't turn music on because after a day at school, I like peace and quiet.  I have been known to dramatically turn the radio off when songs annoy me.  

8. If you had to name one, what would be your favorite day/memory from the last five years?  Living in the dorms with Felicia.  I wish I had moved to college sooner, stayed longer, and been invested more in school happening.  So many great memories!

9. What is the most serious injury you have ever had?  Um  having my blood taken, does that count because I seriously cried more than ever about that????  If that doesn't count, then slicing my finger open at my old job while cutting lemons.  I had to get stitches.  My poor boss had to deal with that sobbing mess.  

10. If your blog name was taken, what would you rename your blog? It used to be called Narrative of a Newlywed.  I would just switch the words around...Pretty Living

11. If you could do anything and know you would never fail, what would it be?  Start or participate in a cooking business.
