A huge part of blogging for me has become the people I get to know and the friends I make online, especially you, my dear readers! And I want to get to know you even better. So I decided to try out an idea inspired by Mackenzie of Design Darling. I loved her concept for encouraging a discussion in the comments section and for all of us to get to know each other better. I’d love for you to be a part of it!
I’ll ask 5 questions, answer them myself, and then its your turn! And feel free to reply to other people’s responses too. Lets celebrate today by making some new friends.
- Your current location?
- What is your dream job?
- Name a physical characteristic of yourself that you like.
- You’re most looking forward to what this fall?
- Something great about today…
So, here are my answers: 1. I am currently sitting in my office in our house in Ephrata, Washington. 2. My dream job would be taking pictures and being a freelance designer. 3. I really like my legs and my smile. 4. I can’t wait to wear scarfs again! There is no way I can stand them around my neck in this heat. 5. Finishing up a super fun blog design for a satisfied customer.
And now its your turn! Feel free to copy/paste the questions above into the comment form and fill out your answers. I can’t wait to get to read your answers, get to know you better and come visit your blogs too.
I hope you’ll join in and say hello. Have a great day everyone!
Oh this is fun! I'll play :)

What is your dream job?
This is a good one, since it is comPLETEly different to my current job. My dream job would be working in musical theatre. Every day of my life. *sigh*.
Name a physical characteristic of yourself that you like.
Hm...well as much as they can annoy me, I love my dimples...because they are something that not everyone is blessed with! I also like my eyes :)
You’re most looking forward to what this fall?
Fall is long gone for me, we are coming into Spring so...this Spring I am most looking forward to my WEDDING! In <50 days! Also, the feeling of some sun on my bare legs in a fun dress or skirt :)
Something great about today…
Oooh lots of things! I got working on a number of blog posts I had been dying to write and hadn't had time to sit down and work on. I got to time to work on the design for our wedding programs, which I'm VERY excited about. And my cheeky nephew, who RARELY calls me by name (because he knows how badly I want him to - he definitely knows how to say it!) snuck a couple of "Danda"'s in today :)
Great post idea Shaina!
Wow that was longer then I intended. Whoops. Hehe. Something to know about me - I talk a lot.
DeleteI love musical theater too!! My husband and I have had a lot of fun being part of our local community theater. Its like a whole other family. :) Thanks for commenting. It was great to get to know you better!
DeleteWoohoo, sounds like fun!

What is your dream job?
My dream job was always to be a primary school teacher and that's what I do. In another life, I'd maybe like to be in fashion journalism or marketing but it's not an unfulfilled dream that I'll always regret.
Name a physical characteristic of yourself that you like.
I like my eyes. They're insanely big. I like my eyebrows too although I hated them at school because I thought they were big. Now I realise they were just naturally well-shaped. Fun fact: I never pluck my eyebrows. I don't need to- I got lucky there!
You’re most looking forward to what this fall?
Hmmm good question. I haven't really looked past summer at the moment so I'm not sure. I'm hoping to finally have a real Halloween party now that I have a) a job so I can afford it and b) a house to throw it in!
Something great about today…
Me and my best friend are going to the club we haunted as teens. I've only been about 5 times in the past 3 years (I used to go every week without fail) so it will be a fun, nostalgic time!
I am envious that you don't have to pluck your eyebrows. The only ones who aren't are the tweezers companies.
DeleteI love that you are doing your dream job! That makes me happy to hear. :) And I really love your eyes too. They're amazing.
DeleteSuch a cute idea!

Name a physical characteristic of yourself that you like.
I like my eyes and my smile.
You’re most looking forward to what this fall?
Everything! I love fall! This will be my daughters first Halloween so I'm really excited to get her all dressed up. We are also really big hunters, so I'm excited hunting season is almost here.
Something great about today…
My family is having their annual cookout. Great food and amazing people! Cant wait!

Still at good ol' Ramstein AB, Germany! Kicking back in my little shoebox dorm.
2) What is your dream job?
If I could make a decent living off of painting and drawing, I would. For awhile, I wanted to be an art teacher or illustrator. Maybe after I finish up my time in the military, I'll go back to pursuing a creative career again~
3) Name a physical characteristic of yourself that you like.
I really like my legs and my eyes.
4) You’re most looking forward to what this fall?
Going back to the states for awhile to see my family! I'll be on leave for a couple weeks to hang out with my parents, then my brother and sister in law, then I have a month long assignment in Florida before I move to Korea for a year. (:
5) Something great about today…
So much sleep! My favorite thing to do on the weekend is NOTHING! My weeks get so busy that I really enjoy just kicking back with my laptop and a glass of sweet tea.
April you should totally go back to pursuing a creative career once you're done in the military. You would be an awesome art teacher!! Great idea. :) And sleep is totally a favorite weekend activity of mine too. I'll be thinking of you when I nap this afternoon. lol.
DeleteI hear ya about doing nothing! Having a Saturday that allows me a nap is the greatest feeling - haha!
