WooHoo Stolen from the fantabulous ambermichelle who stole it from someone else etc etc
Ok- so here is the deal- interviews are going around- if you would like me to interview you then let me know in the comments- then you answer it in your journal and ask if anyone there wants to be interviewed :) Each person who wants to be interviewed will get diff questions- not all the same like most of the boring quizzes ;)
The questions I was asked by ambermichelle and the answers behind the cut :)
*Side-note good questions btw Amber- make me get all personal and crap! hehe :P
1. How did you know Rob was the one?
First a little history- He and I chatted online for about 6 months until we met in person. I could not believe that I was meeting someone online who I enjoyed talking to so much (and I have eaten much crow about it from my friends I scoffed online romance too). When we met in real life the moment- the exact moment- that I saw him in the airport it did not feel like I was meeting a stranger. It felt like I was picking up my oldest friend. We spent two weeks together 24- 7 and not one time did I wish to be somewhere else. I have never felt so at ease and so happy with anyone before. The men I have dated in the past- even the long relationships- I usually could not stand to be around them for more than a couple of hours at a time. They bored me to death. I have never felt that with Rob. I feel happy- so happy that I want everyone to feel the exact same way. He makes me feel like I am incredible. He never talks down to me or acts like I am stupid when I have no clue what computer stuff he is talking about, he doesnt take me for granted and he appreciates me for who I am. He wants me to be happy as much as I want him to be happy instead of it being all one sided :) He ahs flown over the great big ocean 3 times since last August just to be with me- not to go and see things but to just be with me. He is the only man that has ever proposed to me that I was not terrifed of spending the rest of my life with- and I actually want to have children with. I dont worry when I am with Rob- because I know we will take care of each other. I knew before he asked me that I would marry him one day. I just woke up one night when he was here and when I looked over at him sleeping- I knew it :)
2. Do you have a defining moment in your life?
I thought about this one for a few minutes. I feel like I have had several but they all lead back to one major moment. I was not brought up in a traditionally religous family. When I was a little kid mom would drop me off at church and I would go and sing with the old ladies in the choir. Over time I stopped going, my faith started to fade- not in any defiant way just started driftng til I didnt notice it any more. The women in my family have always been a little gifted (lots of Cherokee in the blood lines) and have had prophetic dreams, forsight all that- well exploring this side of things led me to Wicca (over many years mind you- not like one of those Waldenbook Witches who saw the craft and decided they wanted to cast spells lol) I was praciticing coven clad wiccan for over 5 years. Made my way up the foodchain became a preistess lived breathed everything for it.
Then one day I was supposed to go on a date- I ditched the guy and decided to go visit my sister instead- I was watching the discovery channel (I never watched tv) with my neice when the show about them finding the ark came on. Well we are watching this and all of a sudden I hear myself say "Please God dont let this be true" then it hit me what I said was important for 2 reasons-
1- if the show was true the bible was true and I was going to Hell
2- I had just prayed to God (whos name I had not said in years) for Him not to exist.
I left the craft that night and was saved. I am more thankful for this moment of divine intervention than anything else in my life. If it were not for that moment then I would not be where I am or who I am today. All that I have done with my life, all of the people I have helped- it is because of my faith in God. I do not look down on people who are not saved- I only pray that they could have the same peace that I have 95% off the time (when I am not moaning about INS lol).
3. You’re 15 again. What does your bedroom look like?
Hahaha- Pink walls, tan furniture, pink plaid curtains, Bonjovi poster on the back of my door, clear light up telephone, masice tape collection, "I love Eric 2gether 4ever" poster complete with hearts on my desk (highschool boyfriend hahahha)
4. It’s now exactly three years from today’s date. Where are you? Who are you with? What are you doing?
I am with Rob and our first baby (named Gavyn if a boy) living in the house we just finished building working on planning my now part time Fall teaching schedule while Rob is guruing on a pc and the baby is in the playpen. Oh- and trying to decide where to go on vacation since it would be summer and all ;)
5. What is the best book you have ever read? Why is it the best?
Out of the many many I could choose it would be The Catcher in the Rye- why- because that book is amazing. Holden Caufield who would now be diagnosed with OCD sees the world without all the rose tints. He hates what it is becoming and wants to shelter his little sister and all the children growing up in it from the taintedness of life. He is one who has seen the worst of humanity and cant bear to see others falling in the same well he tries to escape from. Ah Holden- how I feel your pain man.
I buy this book at used bookstores and give it to people I meet. It is amazing you just have to read between the lines.
