How did you meet your husband?

We met on eHarmony! In 2008 I was getting ready to graduate college and signed up kind of on a whim, and because I found a coupon code, lol. MH was the first person I met. I was only signed up for about a week. He had actually meant to cancel his membership, but being the forgetful guy that he is, he forgot to cancel before it auto-renewed!

I had a feeling about him as soon as I read his profile. He used correct grammar and punctuation, which won me over immediately, plus we had so many weird random things in common (like both having holiday birthdays) that it felt kind of meant to be. We met for a lunch date (so I could make sure he wasn't a murderer) but neither of us wanted it to end so we went shopping and then to a movie, and it turned into an over 8 hour date! The rest is history...

What do you like to do for fun?

Do you have any siblings?

What's the best vacation you've been on?

I'm kind of a home body, so my idea of fun is pretty boring, lol. I love to hang out at home, curl up on the couch with a blanket, and binge watch some netflix with my hubby. Other than that I am a trivia nut so MH and I love to play bar trivia. Haven't done it since DS was born though! I actually auditioned for jeopardy back in October and am in the contestant pool for the next year, so I could possibly get called to be on the show!

I have one sibling, a sister who is 26. She just got married. We are very different both in personality and in looks!

The best vacation I have been on is hard...I was lucky to go on lots of awesome family vacations growing up. I would say it's probably a tie between a family trip to Europe (Paris, Rome and Lucerne Switzerland) in 2011, and the one I took last summer to Hawaii. Hawaii might win because it was the first big family vacation that MH was with us, and Hawaii is just the most beautiful place. We went to the Big Island and then to Maui. It was a once in a lifetime trip!

What has been the hardest part of becoming a mom?

Who is your biggest role model?

Hmmm... I am not a reckless person at all so this is hard. I plan out everything I do! I guess maybe in college when I went to a big party and drank entirely too much. I got sooooo sick and was almost passing out in the front yard of this house. Luckily one of my good guy friends came and got me. I'm sure many people have had nights like that in college but now I think about it and it seems so scary!

I work full time in fundraising for a large university. I have been working in fundraising since I graduated college and I enjoy it, although it can be stressful at times. I feel like my job fits me well because it is a good combination of my creative and analytical talents. I actually got my undergraduate degree in accounting, but went to
graduate school for a dual degree in nonprofit arts management/MBA. Not sure if this is my forever career though.

The hardest part is probably my loss of freedom. I kind of miss being able to come home from work and just veg on the couch, or spend a whole saturday afternoon lounging in bed. Or just getting to spontaneously go do something or travel. But I wouldn't trade it for the world - becoming a mom is the best thing I have ever done.

My biggest role model is my mom. She and I are super close. She is so patient, loving, and generous, and I wish I could be more like her!

I would like to have at least one more. Three scares me because then you are outnumbered, but I'm not totally ruling it our. Before DS I said I wanted to wait 3-4 years before trying for another one. TTC took over my whole life for over 2 years, so I need a break. I want to enjoy DS and be able to focus on him. However, I find myself having baby fever already....so I think DH and I have decided we will have a conversation on DS's first birthday and see where we are.

I absolutely drink coffee. I only used to drink one a day, but being a working mom now I have had to up my intake to stay afloat, lol. I take it with one packet of splenda and a healthy portion of creamer. I like it to be a pretty caramel color

My favorite alcoholic beverage is a nice Reisling. My current favorite brand is Pacific Rim.

What's your favorite flavor of ice cream?

Do you have any hidden talents?

Graeter's Mocha Chip. Sooooo good. If you've never had Graeters, their chip flavors have huge semi sweet chocolate chunks that are delicious.

Hmm....I guess my trivia skills are my hidden talent. Many people IRL were kind of surprised that I was invited to audition. I guess they didn't realize I was such a trivia freak. Actually a couple people came right out and said "I didn't know you were that smart". I chalked it up to being blonde and young and people judging a book by its cover...

My house was built in 1912. We bought it in 2011 and it was a foreclosure - we pretty much gutted it. I love all of the details of an older home, but I feel like we are going to outgrow it soon and I think I want something more modern. We only have 1.5 baths, and no garage, and the closets situation is not great. I've been casually looking for something else but there's not much on the market right now! Here's a few pictures of my house *poof*

I wouldn't say I'm an aggressive driver, but I do a lot of city driving with my commute so I have to be a little aggressive sometimes. I think I'm a good driver

I don't know if I would consider myself a romantic...I'm very emotional and like doing special things for my hubby, but I hate anything overly sappy - yuck.

Probably my blue eyes. Not feeling so hot about any of my physical features these days!

I am very determined. If I put my mind to something I will get it done!

Guilty pleasure?

Cats or dogs (although I think I know the answer)?

If you could have one super power what would it be?

Bad reality TV. Give me all the housewives, dating shows, and my current obsession - Big Brother

Funnily enough I would say dog. The cat in my picture was my family cat, Cookie. She was the best cat ever but she passed away a few years ago. I don't think any other cats could compare and also my husband is allergic, so I don't think I will ever have another cat. We currently have a dog named Loki. He used to be my baby but he kind of gets ignored now, poor guy.

I would want to be able to fly. I have dreams of flying all the time and I think it would be so fun!

I don't know if I have one. I'm more of a "work to live" not "live to work" type person. I wish I could work part time - I feel like that would be perfect for work life balance.

FALL. I cannot wait for fall!

I played a lot of sports growing up, because my dad wanted me to. The only ones I actually enjoyed and was any good at were softball and volleyball. I hated basketball and would do cartwheels down the court instead of running, lol. I was more into artsy things and was in marching and concert band (played flute and piccolo). I also did dance and was an irish dancer for a few years. I won a lot of medals and really loved it, and omg I was in the best shape EVER. But I got too busy in HS and stopped.

I love the housewives! Which city is your favorite? I always love the OC and enjoy New York now that Bethenny is back. Also loving Jersey again.

My H is also allergic to cats and I hate them. So I'm glad we have an excuse to never get one.

I would also love to be able to fly. I hate driving.

Are we the same person? Lol

My favorites are definitely the OC and Beverly Hills. I am not loving this season of NYC - it seems like all of the women really hate each other so it more catty and unbearable than usual. Like the fights aren't even fun to watch anymore, lol. Never got into Jersey or Atlanta.

And yes on hating driving - my commute kills me more than ever now. I hate wasting so much time in the car when I could be snuggling my little man!!

I lost my virginity at 17 with my hs boyfriend. No regrets, we were in love and he was sweet. We had no idea what we were doing though!! Lol

Omg I have several. Top would be Chris Pratt or Joseph Gordon Levitt.

Other than my H was only about a year and a half. The guy was a jerk! However h was with someone for 5 years (hs sweetheart) and was engaged previously.

My favorite thing about my husband is that he is so patient and laid back. Basically the opposite of me, which is why we work!
