I have been asked to answer five questions, specifically tailored to me . . . so here they go!

1. Quick! The whole house is on fire! You are only going to have time to save ONE thing. What would it be?
If I'm being COMPLETELY honest, my house isn't organized enough for me to find that one thing, which would be my box of photos. If my house was organized, that would be it. But as it stands now I'd die searching for it, so instead I choose my Brian Atwood Dorian heels. How superficial am I???

2. If you could be fluent in any foreign language, which one would you choose? Why?
I think Spanish, because living in Arizona, it would come in handy. Also, I think if I could speak Spanish fluently, it would help me learn the other romantic languages, of which I'm a HUGE fan.

3. I know that your Dad left when you were a little girl. How do you feel about him now?
Wow, this one is sort of hard to answer honestly, but I will do it. I have had issues with my Dad for a long time. I was always a Momma's girl, and I think he knew that, so our relationship was strained because he has never been one to hide his dislike for my Mother, which was always hard for me. I never believed that he had our best interest in mind, I never believed that he really cared for us the way a father should. Then, as I got older and began to be a little more wise to the ways of the world, I started to realize more and more about my Father, his defense mechanisims and how he views his relationship with me. Basically, I grew up and got a little bit more of a clue.

Now that I'm all mature and stuff (hahahahah) I realize that both of my parents made mistakes, they BOTH loved us kids and they both did the best they knew how. Perfect? Absolutely not. But I was sure loved. As I get closer to being ready for my own children, I realize that being an adult does not a perfect human make (duh. Only took me 25 years to figure that one out!) and loving is the best kind of parenting.

So long answer longer, I love and accept my Father for who he truly is. Not who I think he should be. And I love him so much.

4. What kind of person did you think you would marry? How close did you come?
HAHAHAHAHA. HAHAHAHAAAAAAA.
So I had a list . . . a list of qualities I wanted in the guy I would someday marry. And they were:

1. Dark curly hair
2. Dimples
3. Soccer player
4. Outgoing
5. Charming

First of all, my superficiality shines through and I have guilt.

Second of all, I dated that exact guy up there, for two years. He was the worst boyfriend ever. I was madly in love with him and it was the worst two years of my life. He treated me like crap, and I let him. He was dating every female around, and I let him. He was charismatic and beautiful and funny and I just couldn't get enough of how horribly he treated me for some stupid reason. I learned that what I thought I wanted was NOT good for me. At all.

I married the man I never knew I needed. He has straight, dark blonde/brown hair, no dimples, he played basketball and he's a shy accountant. And I am so grateful, every single day. He is my rock, my calm in the storm, the best thing that ever happened to me. Matt would never treat me badly . . . when I ask him to list the things that bother him about me, he says he doesn't have any. He puts up with my whiny, nagging self without a complaint. He may not be the center of attention or the "popular" guy, but EVERY PERSON who meets him says "Wow, that is the nicest guy I have ever met." And he is. And he's mine. And I'm madly, deeply, truly in love with him.

5. What is your Number One beauty tip?
Hmmm . . . number one . . . honestly? Make-up brushes. You can make ANY make-up look good with great brushes. MAC brushes are my preference.

SO there it is. Following tradition, if any of you would like me to craft five questions for you, just let me know in the comments and I will try my hardest to come up with something creative!!
