How did you meet your hubby? That's actually a funny story, here's the abridged version... I was in my first year of college, me and a girlfriend were cruising Main St., we had drank like a ton of Mountain Dew and cappuccinos, so we were super hyper and earlier that night I had punctured my gas tank (bottomed out on a dirt road, didn't realize that I had done it till later), so we were also kind of high on gas fumes. Well, I was hanging out the passenger window yelling "Hey baby, pull over" and they did. I actually liked his friend first, he was driving the hot car, hehe! But within a few weeks we began hanging out everyday and it was like one day we just realized that we were meant to be and he asked to kiss me We've been inseparable ever since!
Do you have any pets? Yes, a dog. She's a beagle and she's 9 years old. Her name is Britney and she is as stubborn as they come! I love her!
Do you have an enemy or nemesis? Not really anyone that I would say is an enemy, there are a few people that I really don't get along with all that great, but for the most part I get along with everyone.
What inspires you fashion choices? Gosh, I find inspiration in so many different things. Mostly by what works with my body type. And of course there is the color pink It has to be worked into every outfit, it's like an obsession! I also find inspiration from magazines, certain celebrites and of course the ladies here on Stylethread
Favorite Movie? I love a lot of different movies, so I can't just pick one. All time favorite is Moulin Rouge. Most recent favorite is Just like Heaven.
Favorite article of clothing? That's another that I don't think I can pick just one Although I always feel great in my COH Faye jeans. And I love my new pink velvet Anthro coat that I got a couple of weeks ago, it's just so pretty and special.
Have you always liked pink or is it something that grew on you? I've always liked pink, had an all pink room growing up, but I went thru a spurt right after high school where I don't think I owned a piece a pink clothing and then one day a couple of years ago, I decided I needed to be like Elle Woods from Legally Blonde and make wearing something pink be my signature. Silly, I know, but it really suits me.
I know you work in a framing gallery. What is it that you do there and how did you come to have that job? I am outside corporate sales. I find businesses that need art and/or framing for their office space. I got this job because a friend of mine is friends with the owners and they called her looking for someone to fill this position and she recommended me. I had actually met the owner's wife a few years back and she remembered me, so they called me to have me come in to interview and they offered it to me on the spot. The gallery is actually getting ready to change ownership, and I don't think the new owner is going to go the corporate route, so my days are numbered. Which is fine, cause me and the hubby are trying for a baby and I'm going to stay at home anyway.
Do you have any siblings? Yes, one brother, he is going to be 21 in Jan., he's such a cutie!
What is your dream job? To be a full time Mom and wife
Where do you shop the most? I shop at a handful of stores on a consistent bases; Anthro, BR, Forever21/Gadzooks. But I'll shop at anywhere that catches my eye when I'm out and I like to look in unusual places/stores to find things that not everyone will have.
What's your favorite TV Show? Gilmore Girls, ANTM and I really like that new show Related. Also, some all time favorites are Dawson's Creek and SATC.
Favorite musician/band? I really like Maroon5, Gavin DeGraw and Christian artist Switchfoot, Third Day and Steven Curtis Chapman.
What do you like to do for fun? I love bike riding, ice skating, hiking, watching movies, reading magazines, best if all are these are done with my husband, he's my favorite person in the whole world to be with. Oh, and of course shopping!
Why do you live where you live now, and if you could live anywhere in the world, where would you live? Well, I went to college just a little north of where I live now and this is where my husband lived, and he has a good job, and I actually like it down here (could do without the long, muggy summers), so we decided to stay here. In the future I plan on having a second home in my home state of Ohio, I want a cool historical home to fix up. And I think it would be awesome to live in Paris. Sometimes I also wish I lived closer to a big city like NYC.
Favorite food? Chicken and homemade noodles w/mashed potatoes. I love comfort foods, unfortunately they aren't that good for my girlish figure, so I don't have them as much as I might like
who are some of your favorite artists? what kind of art do you like? Favorite modern day artist is Elizabeth Ockwell. Here are two pieces I have of hers:
and this one, but mine is framed much cooler! I actually may edit this tomorrow w/a pic of mine:
And love these two, they may be one of my next art purchases:
I really can appreciate a wide array of art, but for myself I like classical and impressionist. But they have to be unique. I have several impressionist French paintings from ebay.
i know you love pink.. do you like a man in pink? Love me a man in pink, when it's done right. It can't be sissy, if that makes any sense. My hubby has a really nice light pink tonal herringbone dress shirt w/french cuffs that he wears w/suits and it looks HOT!
congrats f- p , iam so happy you and hubby are planning to have a little one - and i hope you you get your dream job soon!! if it is a girl i can see it now, she will be as cute as you- what fun dressing up a girl!!
how long have you and your husband been married? We just had our six year anniversary on Oct 2
what is your fav. season? I really love all of the seasons for different reasons, but my favs are fall and spring.
what is your fav. hoilday? Christmas, love being with family and all the festivities that come along with the holiday season. And love decorating my house for it!
any hoilday traditions you do every year? We have to have certain foods every year, so I guess those are traditions. And it is a tradition every Thanksgiving to put the Christmas tree up at the end of the day.
Where did you go to college and what was your major? I actually went to community college during my senior year of high school. Then when I graduated I went to a Bible college in Missouri for almost a year (that didn't really work out, hehe). Had a little more community college in Arkansas. And that's the end of my traditional education. I originally wanted to be a school teacher, but got a job as a preschool teacher and found out that wasn't for me. Like stated in a previous post, I knew I wanted to be a Mom and wife, so college wasn't really a priority to me. It's probably a good thing I didn't go cause I have a feeling I would have just been a wild child.
What is your favorite accessory? Right now, it's my Tano bag. But of course that's subject to change
So you say you are trying for a baby (good luck!!). I know all parents mainly just want a healthy baby, but if you could choose, would you prefer a boy or a girl?
What are your name choices for your baby? Oddly enough, I don't really have a lot picked out. There are a couple I like for a boy. I know when I have a boy I want his middle name to be my husband's name, Bryan. For first names I like; Gavin, Dawson, Logan. I don't really have any girl's names picked out yet, even though that's what I would like first
What sign are you? Do you have your sign's traits? I'm a Leo and yes, I totally have Leo traits! Even though I don't really believe in all that Astrology stuff.
What are your favorite hobbies? Bike riding and shopping
What are 3 things we don't know about you? Hmmm, 3 things you don't know... Well, I like to make up silly songs and sing them to my husband, I am not a morning person and I don't drink.
