Thursday Thirteen

My husband went to high school with someone who is now one of the best photographers I've ever seen! A friend of mine, Kristin, had her wedding photos done by Liz and they were fantastic! Anyway, in response to the "Thursday Thirteen"...I thought this would be fun! :)

1) If money or skill-set was no issue, what would you love to do for a living?

A: I would love to work in the flower business again. I loved working with fresh flowers and doing weddings. Though certain times of the year get stressful and hectic it was always nice to put a smile on other people's faces.


2) If you could fix or put an end to one problem in the world what would it be?

A: I would put an end to poverty. That would take care of hunger, a lot of violence and would make the world a better place.

3) What is one of your favorite traits about yourself?

A: Hmmm...this is tough, I guess my favorite trait is that I love with all of my heart and I give everything to someone that I care about.

4) Share with me the name of one person who inspires you.

A: My aunt Norma who passed away three years ago. She was like Superwoman. Organized, well rounded, creative, smart, family oriented, open minded and as I got older I grew to love and respect the decisions she made in her life. I could sit and talk with her for hours about life, love or nothing in particular.

5) If you could get rid of one type of music forever, what would it be? Band, genre, artist?

A: Nickel Back (all of their songs sound the same to me)

6) If you could choose your talent, what talent would you give to yourself? Why?

A: I would want to have more patience. It really is a talent that I think takes a lot of self dedication and practice.

7) What sort of vacation do you enjoy most?

A: Anything with white sand and beautiful water, my husband by my side and music in my ears. Also, a cold drink in hand but that's not feasible with my current "condition" :)

8) Reach out your arm to your left. What is closest at hand? To your right?

A: Left - Three of my wedding pictures
A: Right - My daily planner and my mouse

9) If you took a six month sabbatical from your work / life situation, what would you do?

A: If money were no issue, I would travel the world with my husband.

10) If you HAD to change your name, what would you change it to?

A: Probably Brooke or Melanie, since those are names we are considering if we have a girl.

11) If you were stranded on an island and could take ONE person with you, who would it be?

A: Well, that's easy, Danny of course!

12) What is your favorite (encouraging) quote?

A: A good marriage is like a casserole, only those responsible for it really know what goes in it.

13) What is the kindest thing anyone has ever done for you?

A: My husband, Danny, accepted me for who I am from day one. He knows me inside and out and has forgiven me for my mistakes, loved me during my worst of days and always been a shoulder to lean on. He balances me and is the piece in my life that was always missing.
