Ten on Tuesday

This week's Ten on Tuesday is brought to us thru Chelsea. Sorry I didn't post one last week, but that was the first day I came down sick.

1. What accomplishment are you most proud of?
Giving birth to two beautiful children. While I enjoyed being pregnant, it wasn't always easy. I was fortunate to have two pretty easy labors, although they call it labor for a reason. Contractions aren't fun, by any means. When I was first pregnant with Mason, I had really bad anxiety over the labor. Without having any experience in it, I was scared of the unknown. But once I held both Mason and Taylor in my arms, it was the best feeling in the world. Nothing is more rewarding.

2. How much did you weigh when you were born?
6lbs, 7oz.

3. What is your favorite perfume?
I recently wrote about it here.

4. How many siblings do you have?
I have an older sister, Christina and a younger brother, Kris.

5. How many children would you like to have? (Or how many children do you have?)
I have two. Mason is 2.5 years old and Taylor is 10.5 months old. We hope to have at least one more, but possibly two. I have always wanted four, but we have compromised with three, with the option of having more. We also hope to adopt one day, if the Lord leads us in that direction.

6. What's the best class you took in college?
Early Childhood Development. My professor was a stay-at-home dad and it was interesting hearing his prospective on fatherhood.

7. What was your favorite game to play when you were a child?
Life. I couldn't wait to spin and have twin girls or boy and put them in the car. My favorite career was always the journalist. I still love that game, even if it has upgraded a bit to fit today's world.

8. What character on Friends are you most like?
I just wrote about that yesterday, here.

9. Are you a phone person? (ie: Do you like talking on the phone?)
Yes, I always have been, unless the other person on the line isn't a phone person. Have you ever tried to have a conversation with someone on the phone, who isn't? It's painful, like pulling teeth to get them to talk. It's even worse when they call you and you eventually have to ask why they are calling, because they don't volunteer that information. You called me!

10. What was the best vacation you ever took?
It's a tie. I took a trip in college to Akumal. My gram treated my cousin, Taylor, and I for our birthdays. My parents surprised us by going for a couple days as well. I have some fantastic memories and hope to one day take Adam and the kids. My other favorite trip was our honeymoon to Lanikai, Hawaii. So relaxing and beautiful and perfect after planning a wedding. We hope to go back many times. Sad to say, but we haven't taken a vacation since our anniversary. Hopefully, that will change soon.
