Congratulations! You have been selected as our featured "Nestie of the Week"! This means we want to learn more about you! Here we go...
"Getting to know you"
You don't have to answer these all at once- take your time if you need to! You can skip any questions if they make you uncomfortable or if you'd rather just not answer. You can be as wordy and verbose as you want to, or you can give very cut & dry answers- it's all up to you! Have fun with it!
1. How did you meet DH? How and where did he propose?
2. Tell us about your wedding day! (details, please!)
3. If you have children and/or pets, please tell us anything you want us to know about them.
4. What do you like and not like about your job?
5. Have you ever lived anywhere other than NH? If so, where?
6. What kind of music do you listen to? Tell us some bands and/or musicians that you are into.
7. What are your favorite TV shows?
8. What are your favorite foods and places to eat?
9. Do you have any hobbies?
10. What is your best personality trait?
11. What, if anything, would you change about yourself?
12. What are your pet peeves?
13. Have you ever met any Nesties IRL? If so, who have you met? Have you been to a GTG?
14. How often do you frequent our board? What other boards do you visit on The Nest?
15. What would we be surprised to learn about you?
16. Are you open to the other girls asking you other questions if there is something they want to know about you?
Ok, that's all the questions! Go ahead and give us your answers. If you could, would you also share a few of your favorite photos with us (wedding/kids/pets/family)- make sure at least one of them contains a shot of you so we can put a face to the name. Again, this is all voluntary. Have fun!!!
Re: ~*~BeckieC832- NOTW #7!~*~
Well, I figured, let's get to know Beckie- I don't know a whole lot about you and I'd love to hear about you!! ?If it's not a good week for you, let me know and I can pass it off to someone else and get to you next time. ?: )?
1. How did you meet DH? How and where did he propose?
We met on match.com...we met for coffee and then spent almost every night together since! He proposed outside of one of our first date restaurants, the Rosa in Portsmouth, and it was the night before Thanksgiving. He knew I thought it was coming on Turkey day so he tried to throw me off. It worked.
2. Tell us about your wedding day! (details, please!)
It was REALLY foggy and had rained so we had to have our ceremony under a tent and not by the Ocean. It was at Wentworth by the Sea CC in Rye. I loved the day, but remember being really disappointed by how early people left and how little people danced. Here are some pics:

3. If you have children and/or pets, please tell us anything you want us to know about them.
No kids, and there won't be for a long while either. I sometimes wonder if I will ever be feeling the bug! I have two cats, both of which I rescued from the SPCA, one is Ralph and one is Murphy.
4. What do you like and not like about your job?
I'm an Annuity Services Rep at John Hancock. I like the benefits, profit sharing plan/401k, the overtime pay, and the people I work with. And I like that I can browse the internet all day. I don't like how I have to make phone calls all day long to get things fixed, which is my job...that part I could do without. I also do videography which is FAR more fun!
5. Have you ever lived anywhere other than NH? If so, where?
Never. Ive only lived in NH...Fremont, Hampstead, Keene, North Hampton, Portsmouth and now Stratham!
6. What kind of music do you listen to? Tell us some bands and/or musicians that you are into.
All popular music really...anything on the radio. My favorite bands and musicians are Dave Matthews Band, Guster, Pat McGee Band, Billy Joel, Elliott Yamin (LOVE him), Edwin McCain, The Police, The Fray, Van Morisson, etc.
7. What are your favorite TV shows?
Grey's Anatomy, Desperate Housewives, Brothers and Sisters, American Idol, Suze Orman, Animal Police, Any terrible reality show like the Bachelor, The Office, lots of news shows...
8. What are your favorite foods and places to eat?
Food is my enemy, I adore it and it shows! I like anything Italian, Mexican or Asian! Love almost any restaurant, but my faves are Hibachi, Melting Pot, Cheesecake Factory...
9. Do you have any hobbies?
Not really sadly. I work full time and have weddings on the weekends a lot, so I guess my hobby is videography. I love crafts though!
10. What is your best personality trait?
Hmm. Well I guess I'm considerate and thoughtful, and polite and friendly. I think I can find more worse than good, Im such a critic of myself.
11. What, if anything, would you change about yourself?
My addiction to food and addiction to not working out! I really wish I was one of those people who just never had food issues and was naturally thin. I also wish I was a little more charasmatic in general.
12. What are your pet peeves?
I have many. I'm easily agitated! I cannot STAND when people chew their food or gum with their mouth open. I don't like having to listen to people sing in my car, I know that is weird but I just can't stand it! Slow drivers also make me crazy, and people who are rude to people in public who do not deserve it!
13. Have you ever met any Nesties IRL? If so, who have you met? Have you been to a GTG?
Yup! And I apologize if I miss anyone. I work with MrsA and MrsTibbz, used to work with Micaela, met Izzybella, Lizzyboots, MrsKinnirsk,Jess, Nichole, Ellen, Britni, Katie, Beth...I know I must be missing some people. I went to the Old Salt GTG and saw Michelle, Britt, Heather, etc...but didn't get a chance to really meet them.
14. How often do you frequent our board? What other boards do you visit on The Nest?
Everyday. My work life is boooring. I also visit Pets, Election 2008, Travel and Money Matters.
15. What would we be surprised to learn about you?
Hmm...I am distantly related to the Kennedy's? Umm, I am an only child? My husband gets to hang out with Patrick Dempsey and it makes me crazy? I went bungi jumping?
16. Are you open to the other girls asking you other questions if there is something they want to know about you?
Of course!
Too funny, you would HATE me... not only do I sing but i am one of those ppl that (for whatever reason) know almost every lyric to songs that come on! lol
Love learning about you!! Keep going and it must drive you bonkers to know that DH used to hang with Dr. McDreamy!
Its funny, I don't know why it bothers me! I think tis cause my parents used to do it growing up and we always went on road trips, and its just a thing I have!
Yeah, well my DH works for a BMW race team, who competes in the same races McDreamy does, and their alphabetically lined up so their area is always next to his. So I have never gotten to go yet, but I have all these pics of DH with McDreamy. And DH's boss is friend's with him...I am SOOO jealous!
uh-oh, we should never ride in a car together
I felt like I knew you before, now I know even more!
You know I loved your wedding through it's planning on the knot, and I almost crashed it - if you remember that!
I am a car singer all the time - and I would totally annoy you because I don't even realize I am doing it and then my DH will say something.
And ladies, the pics she has of her DH and Patrick Dempsey make me jealous every time I visit her cubicle!
hey i love learning more about my nesties! How long does it take you to edit a wedding video? I bet its quite a process.
I am a horrible singer, so don;t usually sing in front of others, we could def. ride together somewhere!
I say we rent a bus and drive Beckie nuts with a bunch of sing-a-longs!!
I loved reading all about you! : )?
I can't believe that you can watch episodes of animal cops! I bawl my eyes out every time I see that show and just want to hug all my kitties and puppy. I give you credit for being able to watch.
I'm actually 26 Beth, does that make less of a youngin'? Hehe.
It takes anywhere from 3 hours to 10 hours for me to complete the wedding videos, depending on the length of the ceremony, what they want, etc.
