Sorry for the delay - little man got sick, so I had to go pick him up and take him to the doc.

kayleeb:

1. Favorite food? Oh gosh...I'm a big, big Chinese fan. Give me some beef broccoli and fried rice, and I'll eat it for days.

2. Hobbies? I just started really getting into scrapbooking and reading again. I also keep journals [I have like, 20 I've written in since I was 12] and collect basketball cards.

3. Dream vacation? European trip. I was born in Germany but don't remember much of it at all...I would love to spend a month just exploring different countries, especially Germany, Italy and England.

4. What's your current favorite song? Just about anything on Tha Carter IV. I wasn't a big Wayne fan until I heard this album.

BoyMom21:

What will you miss about Oklahoma?  What will you not miss? I'll miss Stillwater - a lot. JJ was born here, I went to college here...it's become a big part of me, and it'll be hard to leave. I think I'll miss being close to family and friends the most though.

What I WON'T miss is the heat - H keeps telling me they've been getting rain and their lows are in the 60s, and I'm so jealous. :P And, I'm looking forward to a change of scenery...one of the houses we're looking at has an amazing view of the mountains. I'll love waking up to that every morning.

Baby names you love? Hayden [girl or boy], Sophia, Tessa, Parker and Joshua are a handful of my favorites.

What's your favorite movie? The Proposal. I watch that movie way too often. A close second is Steel Magnolias.

Are you afraid of anything? I have this big fear of spiders [I watched Arachnaphobia when I was little...bad idea] and needles. The needles thing has gotten better over the years, but my fear of spiders has not. *shudder*

What's your favorite restaurant? I'm a big, big fan of Ted's. There's a restaurant on Maui that serves the most amazing breakfast, too...wish I could remember the name. Those are my faves.

Favorite book? Island of the Blue Dolphins. My 5th grade teacher gave it to me after I was crowned the Accelerated Reader champ of my class. I read that book multiple times all the way through high school.

Best childhood memory? I had some pretty awesome birthday parties growing up. The year I turned 6, I got my first big kid bike. My dad had gone to the field and missed my birthday, but he left me this special note and bought me a special helmet that I got at the party. I remember thinking it being so awesome that even though my dad wasn't there, he'd still found a way to be a part of my birthday. He got back two weeks later and took me on my first ride around the block.

What is your dream job? Once upon a time, I wanted to be the PR person for an NBA team. But then, I had JJ and decided that probably wouldn't balance out well...so now, I want to be a part of student life at a university. My ultimate goal is to be a director of student affairs, campus life or honors program.

What are your favorite colors to decorate with? I love just about any shade of blue - it's my favorite color. I honestly haven't gotten the chance to really "decorate" yet since I've been living in dorms or apartments the past 7 years...but once I move, I'll be able to decorate.

What are you currently obsessed with? Baking. I have all these recipes I want to try. Now that my gallbladder has been evicted and I feel almost back to normal, I'll be doing a lot of baking in the coming weeks.

Steven&Jamie:

What's one of your favorite OSU football memories? Hands down, Homecoming 2007. It was my senior year of college, we hadn't won Homecoming while I was in college, and the game got really tight at the end. I almost walked out, but I went back to watch the final 3 minutes of the game. We wound up scoring with seconds left and won the game - it was freaking awesome.

When are you heading to Colorado? Game plan is next summer at the latest. H is up for deployments the next six months, and I'm fully anticipating he'll be going soon because his MOS naturally deploys a lot. But, I don't want to wait for a deployment and then move - I want to move soon. Once I find a job, we'll make arrangements to leave.

What are 2 goals you have for yourself for the next year? Get down to 145 lbs. [unless I get pregnant again...we plan to start trying for no. 2 next year] and get accepted into a master's program.

Have you started planning JJ's birthday party yet? If so, what do you have in mind? I have...he's a huge Toy Story fan, so we're doing a Toy Story party. We already found his birthday shirt, two Toy Story-themed gifts, and I've started buying decorations. :P

prettygirl06:

What's your favorite part about being a mom? I love having him around. JJ is at a very entertaining age right now, and no matter how bad of a day I have, being with him makes everything better. He's so funny to watch and interact with.

What's your favorite thing about Oklahoma? The people. A majority of the people here are so, so nice...I could never live on the East Coast. The people I've encountered there [including my own family] are just too rude for me.

What are you most looking forward to when you move? A change of scenery. I've lived in Oklahoma for 17 years. I love it here, but I want someplace new - and, more importantly, I want JJ to explore new places.

5thOfJuly:

1. What's your favorite thing about being a mom? Another thing I love about being a mom is watching JJ grow up. It's so fascinating to watch him discover new things, learn new words...he constantly amazes me.

2. What's your least favorite thing about being a mom? The lack of sleep. :P He and I have been on our own since he was 9 months old, and taking care of our home + work + him = exhausting. I probably average 4-5 hours of sleep a night when he's with me.

3. If you could have any career, what would it be? I would love to be a professor. That was always the first thing I wanted to do - teach. Not sure how good at it I'd be, but I still want to do it.
