kbrece I remember how patient my dad was when I was little. He always let me "help" him fix things even when I'm sure I made a mess. One of my favorite pictures of us was taken when I was about 2 - he was fixing a hinge on our front door and I'm standing there with a...

kbrece I also met my husband online in March of 1998. We got engaged in 2000 and married in 2001. We lived together from 1999 until we got married. People thought we were crazy at the time because online relationships were still new, but we are even more in love now...

kbrece We had a similar problem when we moved out of our first apartment. They claimed we owed them over $600 for cleaning and repair. Did you happen to take any pictures? We didn't think to do that and it would really have helped us. You can always try and ask them...

When you order a latte, cappuccino, or other coffee drink, what flavor do you usually ask for? I usually go with either caramel or vanilla, but sometimes I like raspberry.

kbrece I like vanilla, too, but recently tried hazelnut. It's really good! One of the people at the coffee shop suggested it and I'm glad I agreed to give it a try!

kbrece I really don't care either way. It took us a long time to get pregnant and all I want is a healthy baby. My husband surprised me, though - I assumed he would want a boy like many of the men I know. He told me he wants a girl! I thought that was sweet. I can't...

kbrece Wow, that's such a great idea! I had to give up most of my pre-pregnancy jeans because they felt uncomfortable. I'm only 11 weeks along but the bloat is crazy! It seems like it would also help to hold up some of my maternity pants that are still too big....

kbrece I actually do knit, but I don't know if they would know what I was knitting! I like to knit socks and people always ask me if I'm knitting a sweater. Someone once asked me if my sock was going to be a scarf! Maybe I could knit a pair of booties and bring them...

kbrece I've never heard of anyone doing that before! That's a cute idea. I was thinking about just wearing a shirt announcing the news to see how long it takes people to notice.

When I was young, I really didn't enjoy reading. I'm not sure why that was the case, perhaps it was because I didn't like school, and reading reminded me of school. :) As I get older, I am finding that I'm picking up books a...

kbrece I love the library, too. I read a lot of books each year and many of them are not ones I want to keep forever. Checking them out from the library saves me money and space on my already crowded bookshelves. One thing that I find very helpful at my library is...

kbrece Thanks for the input! I've bought a few things from that site so far and they've been great. I will check out their selection of workout clothes. Even if they aren't exactly perfect, they have great prices!
