THIS WEEK'S QUESTIONS:

1.  What actor or singer did you have a crush on growing up?
{- submitted by Shannon from The Mommy Files}

I had a crush on Sean Connery. That accent and poise and being a gentleman will do it for me anytime. 

Singer: I honestly don't know. I'm sure I did have a crush at one point or another with many of them. Just like my music varieties, I don't like any one singer.


2. How did you meet your husband or boyfriend? 
{- submitted by Shannon from The Mommy Files}

(Long story short)

We were spades buddies. Then, good friends. He was in a relationship. I listend when things were hard. He had a bad break up. We were friends for years after that. He needed to heal. He flew to come visit with me in my country a couple times. Before one of those trips (he said he was afraid to wait), he called on the phone and propose. He visited again. I migrated to his country (I didn't know my family then when we met. I met my mother and h/siblings just mere 3 months before I migrated), we got married and 6 years and 2 kids later we are still going strong.

3. If you could time travel to the past or the future, which would you choose and why?
{- submitted by Greg from Telling Dad}

I would travel to the past. I did not grow up with my mother. unfortunate circumstances. So, if I could time travel, I'd go back to when I was born until age 3, just to see how my mother treated me/loved me/whatever. I just want to have that time. I was taken from her at age 3 or so and I have no memory of her. We have a good relationship now since we've met, but what's missing, cannot be replaced and if I could travel back, maybe that knowing would do something for my soul, that little space where something is missing.

4. Have you seen any good movies lately? Which ones are worth seeing? (other than kiddy movies)

Cloudy with a chance of meatballs. This is a very good movie. It addresses quite a few things on life and family. 

Blood Diamonds: Brought me to tears. 

Little girl lost: The Delimar Vera Story - This tore me up. This is a true story. 

5. What are your plans for Thanksgiving?

We'll stay home. I will cook. I was hoping that by this time, this year, we would have a foster/adopted child at home to celebrate with, but alas, no. Maybe soon. 

We met a lady through charity and if God makes my heart agree (lots of little stuff making me wary), then I'll invite her over to share with us.

We wont travel to see in-laws this year. It is expensive and we are saving up for a visit to AK next year to attend dh brother's graduation.

 We are under a hurricane watch here in LA. I'm checking my list and we'll see how things go. I hope you all will have a great week.
