Hot Seat Answer Part Deux

Amanda from Babycenter asks this great question, "What is one thing you wanted to do, but never got the chance to, before becoming a mom?" I have a couple of things to say here, both of which are probably pretty standard.

First, I wish I had saved more money before starting a family. Going off on a small tangent here..... Financially things were pretty tight the first 7 or so months after Devin was born. Luckily my parents were extremely helpful in this area!!! Formula, clothes, baby food, and mommy and daddy food were bought and brought to us quite often! Thanks for that...I love you more than I could ever explain!

Secondly, I wish I had traveled the country and visited internationally more before becoming a mommy. I know that the time will come where we will be able to take nice vacations again, but that will be a while!!! A few of the places I would like to visit are San Diego, the Bahamas, Aruba, Paris, and Italy (although I don't think there is a vacation I would turn up).

So here is the first of the "Hot Seat" questions....

Sharon, an old (almost lost) friend from jr high/high school, asked me "What do you enjoy most about being a Mom?"

To me, the most enjoyable thing about being a mom is just knowing that I, along with my husband, created this little person. I created, gestated, and birthed him and now I am raising him. Watching Devin grow and develop has been amazing. I thoroughly enjoy seeing how he changes each day. Devin is becoming a very humorous, loving, and caring boy.

His newest thing is, "You okay Mommy?" whenever I say OW or he thinks I might be hurt. How sweet is that?

The next question comes from Lisa, my wonderful friend from Babycenter. Lisa asks, "What is your dream house/location?"

My dream house is located in North Carolina. If I were brave enough (and not such a Mommy and Daddy's girl) I would want to move there for the beautiful weather, gorgeous scenery, cultural and calm living, and beautiful weather (wait did I already say that?). I would own a 2,400 square foot ranch style home with four bedrooms and three bathrooms, a wonderful playroom for the kids, gorgeous master bed/bath, a two stall garage, and a screened in pool with hot tub nearby. (Not that I've thought about it at all!) Ahhhh, if only it was meant to be.

Please feel free to post more "Hot Seat" questions!!!

Due to my boring life and lack of exciting things to blog about, I am stealing this idea from LauraC. Thanks Laura, I hope you don't mind!

Is there anything about me, Devin, my family, job, life etc. that you would like to know? Is there some pressing question you have just burning to be asked? Please post it and I will respond in my next post.
