questions and answers part 3

Lindsay from Miss Priss asked:
Do you like where you live? Do you ever want to live anywhere else? Another city/state?
I love living in Tulsa Oklahoma. I know Oklahoma seems boring and plain but its really not. We get lots of changing seasons. One day its summer weather the next its icy outside (maybe not that crazy but it does go from nice and warm to super cold quickly sometimes). We have lots of trees in Tulsa, and rolling hills and safe and nice neighborhoods. The people in Oklahoma are almost always friendly and nice. You can be in the middle of a busy city one minute and easily go out to the country and be on acres of rolling hills with horses the next. Its a great place to live. We have great food and resturaunts, shopping, tons of job opportunities, and we can go to concerts, or shows in downtown. It really is a nice place to live. I grew up in and around Tulsa. My family now lives 2 hours away right outside of Oklahoma city in Norman. If I didn't have family and tons of friends living here I would probably move to California. I love the beach, the shopping. I love the arts. But fortunately for me I have amazing people that live right here and so this is were we will stay. I'm a home body.
I have included some pictures from my town, Tulsa. Enjoy.

This is the Tulsa Driller.


This is Holy Family cathedral, the Catholic church my hubby and I got married at in downtown Tulsa.


These are the praying hands. They are in front of a University here in Tulsa. I just think they are beautiful.


She also asked:
What's your favorite food, you know something that you could eat for breakfast, lunch and dinner and never get sick of it!
Hmmm well I absolutely love Mexican food. I am always in the mood for Mexican food. I would probably get sick of it if I had it all the time but honestly this would have to be my absolute favorite type of food. I love all types of food but my answer is definitely Mexican.

Dianne asked?
Well... Did you think Cooper would be a boy or were you surprised at the ultra sound?
This is a great question. I always imagined myself with a boy first. I didn't care what I was going to have as long as it was healthy. I want both girls and boys. So we went to the doctor and I was only 8 weeks prego. The babies heartbeat was so fast and our doctor was convinced we were having a girl. He kept telling us that he was almost always right and that he was seeing many signs that our baby was a girl. So I didn't let myself get excited or decide for sure it was a girl. Fast forward to my 10 week appointment. (I got an ultrasound every two weeks for most of my pregnancy). So we of course start our ultrasound and the first thing to pop up on the screen in perfect view was a penis! Yes that's right we new immediately without even having the doctor tell us what it was that we were most definitely having a boy. We were all in shock. One because we had been talking about it being a girl and two because I was only 10 weeks along and it was so clear.
That is how we found out. And I am here to tell you, I knew since I was young I would have a boy first. I don't know why but I always imagined myself with a son first. I will always want a daughter as well and will work for that in the future but am so happy we have our Cooper.

Lindsay at Another place in Paradise asked:
What would be your dream job if you could do anything?
I have a few dream jobs. That's why I had a hard time finishing college. I didn't want to be stuck in only one career. However that was a mistake on my part. I probably should have just finished in one of the dream job choices but I didn't.
Here are a few of the things I would love doing though if I could do anything. I would love to be a nurse or be an ultrasonic technician. I'm a major people person and like to help people. I would say doctor but I don't like the stress of having someones life in my hands. So a nurse would be great. I would also love to be a teacher. This one is something I can do. I worked in a learning center as a Kindergarten teacher for almost 4 years and it was by far the most rewarding job ever. I absolutely loved the kids.
Hmmm I would LOVE to work in interior designing. Or Fashion designing.
But bottom line, my dream job involves a place that makes me happy, pays me decent and somehow makes me feel important. I need to be around lots of people and I need to be able to smile and talk to them.
This answer was long, I think I'll move on to the next one now.
She also asked:
What is your favorite part about having Cooper?
Oh my sweet little tiny Cooper. There are so many wonderful things about having him. I would have to say my favorite part of having him would have to be the moments early in the morning or in the evenings when I can cuddle up on the couch and he falls asleep with his little face right up against mine. He gets so calm when I put my nose against his (I know that sounds weird). But it works and when his reflux is really bothering him or when he's really gassy and upset, I can just either press my cheek against his or put my nose to his and we lay down and he gets calm and drifts off to sleep. He's just so cuddly. These are the memories I will hold in my heart forever.
