    If you could only eat one food for the rest of your life, what would it be? Probably macaroni and cheese...but that's a tough one for me, I love to eat!

    Where is your favorite location in the US?   NYC has it all, and I was lucky to grow up around here, but I also love the slow pace and the warm weather of the south.  I loved Texas when I visited there. 

    What is your favorite feature or trait about yourself?   I am a go-getter, I never start something I can't finish.  And I like my hair!

    Happy Birthday Liz! :)

    What is your favorite thing about DH?  He is hilariously funny, and is very considerate.  And his favorite person to hang out with is ME :) 

    What's your favorite kind of wine? I love white wines, espcially Sauvignon Blanc's from New Zealand.  They are crisp and fruity, without being too sweet.

    Favorite flower? I love hydrangeas - they are everywhere in the summer, especially the rich blue ones.  Gorgeous!

  • imageLisa6255:

    Do you and DH have any long term goals?  Um, to win the lotto?  LOL  But really, to have at least one kid, and when that kid is living independently, we'll sell our house and buy a beach condo. 

    Where would you like to retire? Unfortunately, living in New Jersey is expensive!!!  I don't know that we'll retire here.  But definitely somewhere on the East Coast.  We haven't nailed down a spot, but wherever our family is and definitely on the beach! 

    What is your favorite and least favorite feature of the home you have currently?

    Favorite - I love the way our dining room turned out.  It's "formal" and pretty without being stuffy.  And I love our king-size bed, it's truly the most comfortable bed ever.

    Least Favorite - I hate our kitchen :(  It's old and ugly.  And the bathrooms really need updating.  Unfortunately, that's something that will have to wait because of $$.  And I wish we had a pool!

     

  • What's your next vacation?

    Are you dying for summer to be over or dreading winter?

  • Would you ever consider having a "second ceremony (or vow renewal)" to commemorate a milestone anniversary? Like say, your 10th, 20th, 25th or 50th?

    Or was the first time perfect enough to last a lifetime?

    What's your next vacation?  We went on vacay in May, so nothing planned for the rest of this year.  I will be away for the weekend for my friend's bachelorette in August - we'll be in New Hope, PA.  Wine tasting and shopping :)  I'd love to do one more big trip with DH next year before we start TTC.

    Are you dying for summer to be over or dreading winter? DREADING WINTER!!!  I wish the seasons cycled between summer and fall all the time.

    That's a good one!  I ask DH sometimes about this, and he says he would marry me again, but just the two of us alone somewhere.  NOTHING like our real wedding, which was a big formal affair (and, yes, it was AWESOME enough to last a lifetime - we had the best time!)

    I would like to do a repeat of our honeymoon, maybe for a big anniversary.  I'm curious if any of you have thought about doing vow renewals?

  • What is your favorite fruit?

    What language do you wish you spoke and why?

     

  • imageLaurms15:

    What is your favorite fruit?

    Lately, watermelon!  Unfortunately, I am allergic to some kinds of fruit when they are raw, so I need to cook everything.  So annoying. 

    ETA: I don't have to cook melons LOL that would be gross...things like apples and peaches I do...just to clarify :)

    What language do you wish you spoke and why? 

    Italian!  My family is Italian, and my grandmother taught me some phrases, but I can't have a conversation.  I knew enough to hold my own when I was in Rome, but I wish I could really speak it.  It's a beautiful language!

  • I just planned a 50th anniversary (this past Saturday) for a couple who did a vow renewal it was so sweet! I think its a nice idea when you get that far in. Its nice to celebrate with your kids and grand kids!

    That sounds so nice!! 

  • I read that Heidi Klum and Seal renew  their vows every year on their anniversary, but I guess if money was no object...:-)

    But I would like to also do a more private renewal at say, the 5 year mark - just us on a really nice beach and then we stay there for maybe a week or so.Then, at the 10 year mark, have a more public renewal with our family and closest friends. Not formal or large like our first wedding either, but still at a nice venue and I can get to wear a really pretty dress again :-))

    50 sounds great, but in all honesty, we may not make it that far, as we were not exactly spring chickens when we got married  :-) So we gotta do our partying a "wee" bit sooner!

    This is true! I think it's so cool because (as she describes it in interviews) they more use it as an excuse to get all of their friends and family together every year, rather than it being all about them. I would totally do the same thing (or at least every 5) if I could afford it because it makes me sad that all of those wonderful people who are important to me will likely never be in the same place at the same time again.
