Re: Nestie Friday - Ask me anything...
Favorite Icecream?
Do you sleep on the right or the left side of the bed?
Do you shower in the morning or night?
What would your death row dinner be?
Favorite Icecream? Ice cream is my favorite food group! J Chocolate Peanut Butter and Blueberry Cream Pie (Publix brand)
Do you sleep on the right or the left side of the bed? I sleep on whatever side is closest to the TV. If it?s equal then I choose the side closest to the bathroom. (I know?it?s odd!) Currently I sleep on the left side if you are facing it.
Do you shower in the morning or night? Morning (unless I want to sleep-in the next morning)
What would your death row dinner be? A thick, juicy, perfectly cooked, medium-rare filet with a baked sweet potato with butter and cinnamon sugar, asparagus, and a hot fudge brownie sundae!

If you could hang out with one famous person for a day who would it be?
Favorite color?
If you could hang out with one famous person for a day who would it be? Well, she?s not super "famous" per se, but I?m really digging Christian music artist Beckah Shae these days. We saw her in concert for my birthday and her spirit is just amazing. She was funny and passionate and has a great sense of style. So, I think we?d get along great!
Favorite color? Red

Estimated Due Date 11/13/12 | Natural Miscarriage 4/17/12
If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be? I?m actually really happy where we live now. I wouldn?t want to live outside of the US. I am a Florida girl at heart and hate being cold, so I don?t think I could live where it snows. I like the hustle and bustle of city life, but I think later down the road I?d love to live somewhere like Santa Fe or Montana or Oregon where the scenery is beautiful and life is much slower.
And, if you could do any job, what would it be, regardless of money? I would love to be a wedding/party planner. I think it would be something fun that I would be good at and I could work from home while raising a house full of children J

Do you like beans? Yes, all kinds (red, black, pinto, lima, green, I like em all!)
How's team green holding up? Some days it can be difficult, but thinking about ?the moment? when Chavis announces our baby?s arrival makes it worth it.
What's your favorite day of the week? Sunday, because we get to sing in church and spend time with our friends/church fam and then we usually go out to eat, then come home and rest and watch movies and nap!
What's your favorite holiday besides Christmas or your birthday or your families birthdays? Thanksgiving! I love food, family, and football!
Who is your favorite person in the world that you're not related to? I?m not technically related to Chavis am I?? He is by far my most favorite person in the world! Otherwise, I have several great friends from church that I adore.
Oh, tough one... who is your least favorite person in the world that you're not related to (you don't have to name names, maybe just tell why?) Unfortunately, that?s easy?a coworker that I have to spend 40 hours a week with. She?s the kind of person who asks how you are just to be polite then immediately cuts you off and starts talking about herself every.single.time. If you tell her a story, then she always has to ?one up? you. She is incapable of thinking of others, never listens and constantly complains.

Best part about pregnancy?
If you had to choose, boy or girl first, which would you choose?
If you could have any job in the world, regardless of training/logistics/pay/etc. what would you do?
Do you have a top 5 list of names (boy or girl) that you'd be willing to share with us? (no is an okay answer)
Where would you choose to live if you didn't have to worry about jobs/cost of living/practicality?
Where is your favorite place you've ever been to?
Best part about pregnancy? Knowing I?m going to be a mother and have a child that is part me and part Chavis. I also love not having a period and not worrying about being on a diet.
If you had to choose, boy or girl first, which would you choose? If I HAD to choose I guess I?d choose boy. Part of me is scared of having a daughter.
If you could have any job in the world, regardless of training/logistics/pay/etc. what would you do? Wedding/party planner and SAHM.
Do you have a top 5 list of names (boy or girl) that you'd be willing to share with us? (no is an okay answer) We have our top-secret names picked already, but I will share some that were in the running: Zoe, Mariah, Charlotte, Savannah, Meredith and Gabriel, Elijah, Noah, Caleb, Maxwell
Where would you choose to live if you didn't have to worry about jobs/cost of living/practicality? Throwing practicality out of the window, maybe Hawaii
Where is your favorite place you've ever been to? Santa Fe, NM. We had such a great time there on our honeymoon and I think about going back often. The weather, scenery, and low key vibe was such a nice change of pace.

That is a great name list!
How many more kids do you want after this one?
I know you're a strong Christian...care to share the story of how you came into your faith?

That is a great name list! Thanks! How many more kids do you want after this one? 2, maybe 3 more. We will see if I change my tune after delivery J I know you're a strong Christian...care to share the story of how you came into your faith? This is probably the most personal and deep question one could ask. Here is the abbreviated version? Growing up, I was not raised in the church. My parents sent my sister and I to a Christian School, which I attended from 3rd-6th grade. I accepted Jesus Christ into my life in 3rd grade. We had Bible class, attended chapel once a week, and that was about the extent of my faith. From 7th grade on, my Christianity was put on the back burner because I was too distracted by boys and being "cool". When I went to college, I found myself spending more time partying than studying and was hanging with some shady people. By the time I was 21 I was barely getting by in school and spending all my time and energy partying (drinking, smoking weed, clubbing, etc.) I was in a serious relationship for 2 years with a guy who I thought was ?the one? and I found out that he cheated on me. It was devastating. I fell deeper into depression and then my high school boyfriend contacted me and was moving back to FL and wanted to work on having a relationship again. I thought it was perfect timing. Everything seemed to be going great for several months?until I caught him cheating on me. Just when I thought things couldn?t get worse I was spiraling out of control and deeper into depression. I felt completely unlovable. I turned more towards alcohol and drugs to numb the pain and convinced myself that I was worthless. Over the next several years, things only got worse. The losers I dated were just awful (some abusive), my grandmother who helped raise me passed away, and I had to withdraw from school. I was used, broken, and felt so alone. I was sick of the way I was living (or lack of) and wanted a change. I decided to start going to church and found a church home. I started learning how to love myself and learned that no matter what happened in my past, that God loved me and accepted me. He cleaned me up and made me new again. I stopped hanging out with my party friends and stopped getting high and drunk all the time. I began to pray for a Godly man who would love me for me and accept my past. Doors began to open, Chavis was brought back into my life after we had lost contact for about 5 years, and I got an unexpected job offer back in my hometown where he lived. I moved back and began going to church with Chavis and we fell deeper in love. I first experienced unconditional love from God and then from Chavis. Our church family welcomed me with open arms and I got Baptized. I began to feel true joy for the first time in a long time. Although the pain I experienced before coming to the Lord was terrible, I know that I wouldn?t be where I am today if I hadn?t gone through it and am grateful that God brought me through it.est. 10/10/10
