What state do you live in? Texas

Are you a night owl or early riser? Without a doubt ..night owl!! My ideal sleeping arrangements would be heading to bed at 1 AM and waking up about 10:30.
I absolutely love to sleep in. But, working from home I am trying to be disciplined and I am up by 8ish every morning! My friends and family would be so proud because that is totally out of character for me!
What is your favorite guilty pleasure? Anthropolgie..although I don’t get there very much.
If you could have dinner with anyone in the world…dead or alive, who would it be? My dad. He died my senior year of college.
What are some things that you like? I really like people. I like to talk about high school which is weird. I like my family. I like to watch the Price is Right, actually LOVE the price is right.
I like board games. I like kids. I like Anthropologie but I can not afford it. I like to wear costumes but my husband isn’t a big fan, so I don’t do it much. I like the amazing race and Lost. I like my dogs Sophie and Jack.

When you can do anything, what do you do? shop
What do you have to do before you die? I would love to be on a game show. It is my dream.
Tell us something more about you:
Funny I cry watching game shows like The Price is Right, Wheel of Fortune..etc
I am so happy for them when they win!!
Serious Just like Melissa said, I am terrified of death. When my mom or sister call, I panic before I answer the phone. Always..
Entertaining I get out of the shower completely wet. It is hard to explain. I do use a towel but mostly it's just for looks. I wrap it around my body but I actually just air dry. It takes quite a while.
(Once my college roommates actually made a video about it).
Philosophical
I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen. Not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else. – CS Lewis
Exciting I have finally finished filling out this questionnaire. Today is November 12..I am the last one L
True My brother is old enough to be my dad. We have 22 years between us. He is 50. I have a sister who is 48 and another who is 40. Then, I am the baby at 28.
Meaningful I just recently quit my teaching job. When I say recently, I am talking 2 weeks before school started ! It was one of the hardest decisions that I have ever had to make in my life. Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely love photography and am excited to pursue my career full time…but there is something about teaching that tugs at my heart. Teaching those little ones to read, watching the progress they make, and seeing them grow as little people is one of the most amazing experiences that I have ever had and probably ever will!!
Powerful
By grace you have been saved.
Name 2 of your weaknesses:
I am the biggest procrastinator you will ever meet. I always get it done, but it may take an all-nighter.
I am messy. (some have gone as far as calling me a slob)
Name 5 of your strengths:
Fun
Spontaneous
Laid back
Can we just name three?

You make me happy! :) reading your answers I was like.. "ME TOO!" until you said the whole thing about Math..which caused a momentary shortage of breathe... :) Youre going to be so much fun! I have ALWAYS wanted to be on a game show...either playing Plinko on the Price is Right...OR chasing whammy's on Press your Luck...Im still torn... :) Cant wait to meet you in a week!
See you in a week and 2 days!! :)
Kelly, can't wait to meet you! I love your picture.. especially the colors. I can relate to your family situation too.. except your age gap is a lil bit bigger. My bro is 48, sis 39 and sis 38.. im 28. I love it though! I liked the fact that I could learn from their mistakes and not have to make them myself. I don't know about you, but I thought I was soo cool when my sisters would let me hang out w/ them when they were in High School. I'm sure you have some fun stories! Can't wait to hear some!
