Interview from Rebecca Marie

1) You’re on the Titanic, and you just found out it’s going down. There is room on a lifeboat for you and the kids. What do you say to Gabe as the boat is being lowered?

Answer....

I love you Gabe don't you ever forget that. Find a way to save yourself. I don't want to loose you. We need you. Be safe my love.

Or my second opion would be to stay with him if we did not have kids. I would find a way to save us both together.


2) Desert Island time, you are stranded, what three items would you take and why. People don’t count as items… material things only.

Answer....

Well I would hope I worked for Fed Ex and a Volleyball named Wilson would appear for me to play with. Ok seriously now....

A deck of cards
A tooth brush
A blanket


3) You can’t ever scrapbook again. What hobby would you take up, and why?

Answer....

I would rather die. Scrapbooking is my one and only hobby.


4) You can only eat one meal for the rest of your life, choose one, tuna fish sandwiches with extra pickles in the tuna, or split pea soup with ham.

Answer....

Tuna fish sandwich with extra pickles in the tuna and it has to be on whole grain bread


5) Do you vote? Why or why not?

Answer....

Yes I do vote. It is the American thing to do. Every vote counts. (Well my American Idol votes did not count because Bo Bice did not win) But seriously the only poll I vote for is the presidential election. I have gorwn up a lot. The last time I voted besides the most recent presential election was When Bill Clinton ran for another 4 years. I voted for President Bill Clinton because I thought he was hot. Yes you heard me right. I was 18 people come on.

Movin' Out

blogger friends

So I have met Rebecca Marie and lets just say she does totally rule the school.

I also have met Breanna. She is really sweet. I want to get to know her better.

The little things I notice now in my every day life. Every time I drink lime flavored Pepsi I instantly think of Rebecca Marie.

Yesterday we were at Target and I FINALLY saw Jones Soda. I laughed a little and said you know JUST for Tabitha I will pick some up and try it. I bought the cream soda. It is really good. So now every time I drink Jones Soda I will think of Tabitha.

All these animal hitting stories....

got me thinking about the time Gabe, the kids( I was pregnant with our third at the time),and I drove to Utah (another story for another time. I will write about it I swear. In short....Gabe and I use to be Mormon.) When we were driving to Utah, we were heading through the mountains on I-84 at about midnight or so... Well, there was some construction and we were funneled into one lane. As Gabe is driving, he notices three elk running across the road. He swerves to the right, I am totaly screaming at this point. One of the elk starts scrambling up the embankment... Luckily the one on the left of the van stopped, instead of running from being startled. When the elk stopped, it made just enough room in-between the others for the van to pass through. We were close enough that Gabe could have rolled down the window and pet the thing... And it was HUGE! We have a Dodge Caravan, and it was about eye level with Gabe in the car!

Both Gabe and I were seriously sweating and white as ghosts. After all that Gabe and I did not talk for maybe a minute or two. I swear we both saw our lives flash before our eyes. The funny thing is Melissa and Kelly slept through the whole thing.
