To exercise more, spend a lot of time outside, work on the landscaping of our home

At what age did you have your first crush?
Gosh....As far back as I can remember, was in 6th grade.
We dated for 2 years but it was really more like a best friend than a "dating" relationship!

Have you attended any school reunions?
Not yet! 5 more years to go until my 10 year!

Have you ever passed gas in public and pretended like you didn’t smell anything?
haha yes, I just quickly left the area! haha I'm sure everyone has done this at least once!!

Are you a clean freak?
Definitely! My husband thinks I'm a bit obsessed with keeping our house clean!

I like the one I was born into but it would be fun to be alive in the 1950's.

Are you a vegetarian?
Nope. I love meat!

How many pillows do you sleep with at night?
1 to 2

Are you a light sleeper or a heavy sleeper?
Light...I recently found that out when I got married. I hear everything and it drives me nuts!

Do you secretly wear granny panties when your man is not around?
I think we all have our own ideas of "Granny Panties"...so with the google search, I'm going to have to say NO

What is your ultimate dream job?
Be a stay at home mom! It would also be neat to be some kind of pastry chef! I love baking!

What does your husband do that annoys you the most?
First things first, my husband loves to make me laugh and he does a good job of it. However, he can be overly sarcastic at times (and he knows it) that's what gets to me!

What is your dream car?
Volvo XC90

Do you wake up easily in the morning?
Yeah right...I hit snooze about 5 times!

A little hair is alright but not too much.

How about a man with a goatee?
Doesn't bother me!

Which would you prefer: a two-hour spa massage, a two-hour Thai massage, or a two-hour foot massage?
Any massage works! But, I think I'd prefer the two-hour spa massage

If so, what name? Yeah when I was little I wished I had a different name...I don't remember what though

Swim Team...not too extreme

I'd say Europe...although I've never been to Asia

Italian

What is your most embarrassing moment while out on a date?
hmmm I actually can't think of one at the moment...I'm always pretty clumsy though. Tripping over things. That's probably as embarrassing as it gets!

My Favorite *M's*

This is a really cool 'meme'. Sharon from Captured Thoughts and Big Blessings did a post like this on her blog. the basic idea: leave a comment on this favorite post requesting a letter (like i did on Sharon's), and I’ll assign you one. Then you write about 10 things you love that begin with your assigned letter. Post it on your blog and when people comment on your list, you give them a letter, and the chain continues on. got it? Good! Let's go.

1. Mackenzie - my husband of 2 months! He is such an amazing husband who does his best to show me he loves me every day. We have our share of arguments but he never gives up. I thank God for him everyday! "You're my favorite"
   
2. Mom - my mom has the most loving and patientheart I have ever known. She always tries to see the best in people and I never hear her talk negatively about someone. I wish I had that quality!
3. My sister - She is such a strong woman who has a lot of great qualities. She is a wonderful, sister, wife, and mother and I am thankful for the relationship we have today.
4. Mom-in-law - Sharon has been such a good mother-law-to me. She has, since day one, made me feel welcomed into her home and the family. I'm so grateful to have her as my second mom!
5. Milk Chocolate - actually any chocolate really. My name is Brittany and I have been a chocoholic for 22 years....:) I'm not ashamed to admit it!
   
6. Mousse - for your hair. I use it everyday I wear my hair curly and it has been one of the only products I've found that works well in my hair!
7. Mountains - there are so many beautiful mountains that God has created for us to look at. I've been blessed to have so many throughout Oregon. There weren't to many in Southern California, where I grew up.
8. Macaroni -I love pasta. Pretty much with any type of sauce on it. Italian food is one of my favorites!
9. Michael - my favorite nephew. He has such a sweet and loving personality. He is such a good big brother to his sister Alyssa who I love dearly.
10. Matthew 6:34 - "So do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself. Each day has enough trouble of it's own." That verse has been my favorite since I became a Christian. It has helped me through many rough periods in my life.
