    tell us about your bff. where did you meet her, what do you have most in common?

    My BFF is actually a cousin, we knew each other for years but never really hung out until we started working together. We both have a great sense of humor and love having a good time. It sounds lame but we just get along really well. As far as hobbies go etc we really don't have a lot in common.

    One of my sisters is also a great BFF. We shared a room growing up have similar interests think the same way, we could get mad at each other and 5 minutes later be laughing because it was so redic what we were mad at each other about.

    is milk straight from the cow warm? Ick!

    you put it in a glass first, right?

    Yes, it is warm, but it goes into a cooling, milk tank and we usually get it out of there when it's already cooled down. We get it in a pail, take it to the house and then pour it into a pitcher. Rarely do we actually drink it warm-straight from the cow. My little brother's will though haha.

    imagejennlin:
    are you religious? will you be raising your kids this religion or teaching them about others and letting them choose?

    Yes, we are. We were both raised in the same church/faith background so we plan to do that same for our children. They will be aware of the others, and why we don't "agree" with them. In general for us it was never an option to choose so for them it won't really be either. 

    is it too personal to ask which one? if so, ignore this question like you didn't see it Wink. if not, which one?

    No, it's totally ok to ask which church!

    Not really, I think it was a gradual thing. I knew I wanted to be with him, but I don't know when I figured that one out.. somewhere during our year of 2-3 hour phone call's lol.

    Nope.. and don't plan on having any as long as we live in town. IMO animals should have the freedom to run around outside. Coming from a farm girl though.

    I used to before I got married and had to deal with immigration. The past few springs I have worked in H's uncle's greenhouse for 3-4 months. Other than that I highly doubt it, at least not as long as I have kids to take care of at home. 

    I love selling SU, and have actually done it since I turned 18, so that should tell you it's a passion of mine! The reason I started selling it was because I couldn't justify spending the money on my addiction lol Smile

    judging the the short-ish wiki page...it's not very popular (common). how big is your church?

    The church that we attend has about 70 people. One of the smaller ones, now where I grew up in Alberta there is 3 churches, The one I went to had over 1200, then 1/2 away there was another one that has about 900 members, and another one 1 hour away has about 300. So it's definitely bigger in some area's. 

    I found the page on Wiki with the history, which I don't think it was as clear in the other link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netherlands_Reformed_Churches

    Hmmm there is a few... several of them aren't half as funny in english as they are in dutch. My dad always has dirty ones up his sleeve, much to my mom's dismay haha Smile

    I can't think of any good ones I could translate and put up on here though. Like I said it's hard because a lot of the meaning/funniness it lost in translation.
