Blogger 411

Happy Friday, ya'll!

This has been such a stressful week. And things won't be getting an easier 

until mid-September(ish).

My brain hurts. 

So I apologize for the lack of creativity in my blogging lately. 

I'm trying.

Anyhoo.. I have several new followers and I saw this link-up on Becky's blog, so here ya go: 

The Blogger 411.

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

I've been blogging for about a year and a half. I started blogging in January of 2011, when I was snowed in for a week. I had been following some friends blogs for a while and decided to start one of my own to document life as a newlywed. 

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

I did! I graduated in 2008 from Texas A&M University with a degree in Communications and Journalism. A&M holds a special place in my heart. I met my hubby there!

3. Where have you traveled?

I love to travel, but do not get to travel as much as I'd like!

I've been to 32 of the 50 states and Cancun, Cozumel, the Bahamas, Jamaica (twice), Grand Cayman, and Turks & Caicos. Can you tell I love the beach?

Ocho Rios, Jamaica

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

If I won the lottery, the first thing I'd do is pay off my student loans. 

Then I would buy our dream home in the country. 

Then I would take my parents (and in-laws) on an amazing vacation!

5. What are your 3 biggest pet peeves?

*Slow/terrible drivers. I have the worse road rage.

*Being tickled

*People who chew with their mouths open

6. What is your favorite movie?

My all time favorite movie is For the Love of the Game

Some of my other favs are:

The Princess Bride

Girls Just Want to Have Fun

PS. I Love You

My Best Friend's Wedding

Almost Famous

Center Stage

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

I'm a big water drinker. It's what I drink about 90% of the time.

But I'd have to say, sweet tea is by far my fav.

Regarding alcoholic bevies: I'm by no means a big drinker. I like a glass of wine every now and then and I love me some margaritas. The end.

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

Reading. I absolutely LOVE to read!

A good mani/pedi is nice too.

9. If you could have a $10,000 shopping spree to one store, which store would it be?

I would have to say Target.

10. What day would you love to relive again?

My wedding day. Definitely.

11. If your life was turned into a movie... what actor would play you?

Either Reese Witherspoon or Spencer Grammer

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

I worked at a summer camp for 6 years. From age 14 to 19.

I lifeguarded at a public pool for 2 years in college.

or...

Greece

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

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

In my ideal world, in 5 years, we would own our own home.

And we would be parents (two kiddos maybe?).

And maybe I would be a stay at home mom.

Well, I hope you've learned a little bit about me!

Have a good weekend :)
