  1. My name is Annie, I'm from SLC UT, and still live here (there?)! I'm married to an AMAZING guy, and we have one little stinker! He just turned 1, and he is so special! He had open heart surgery when he was 4 1/2 months old to correct a Congenital Heart Defect (CHD).

    Hobbies...fashion (soon starting a fashion blog!), making rosette flowers and fun headbands, collecting watches, collecting medical bills (ha!), but most of all, my favorite hobbies are my hubby and baby! :) A change in my life recently has been going to a yoga class every Thursday night! It is so empowering! (I used to think yoga was lame and boring- man was I wrong!). Also, I'm reading the Book of Mormon every night and will finish it by July (It will be the first time I have finished it in several years, so this is good!) I would love to travel to Greece and Italy. I'm extremely fond of cruises to the Caribbean! I love the colors cream, moss green, mustard yellow and vintage-turquoise! Favorite food changes a lot- I really love deserts though! I can't live without good hair product and bare minerals makeup! And fantastic shoes and watches and clothes...on a more serious note, I can't live without my hubs and bubs and the Gospel.

    Some goals I'm currently working towards, are to earn my YW's medallion again (I'm a leader in the YW's in my ward), reading the BoM, eating more fresh fruits/veggies everyday, and get pregnant! :) Some of the best advice I have received is "pray until you feel the spirit, read until you feel the spirit" and "When we compare ourselves to the world, we will ALWAYS have doubt, ALWAYS come in second, and ALWAYS come up short...but with God, there are no comparisons, we are PERFECT the way we are, he loves us, and we can love ourselves..." (it goes something like that anyway).
    :)Thanks for wanting to know about me! (us!)

  2. hi!
    my name is karlene perez and i'm from alberta and still live here.

    i got pregnant when i was 16 and married the dad...we had 2 kids and were married for 4 years but then got divorced (we were just to young and immature) but we are still great friends and we all do alot together. it's great for my kids!

    my husband and i have been married for 3 years this april and we have 2 baby girls. my husband is from mexico city.

    so in total we have 4 kids :)

    my biggest hobby is scrapbooking...i LOVE it.

    as for my biggest change i'm trying to do is lose all my baby weight. and be more patient

    vacations....i went on a cruise with my 1st husband and his family and it was fantastic!! you have everything you need in 1 price. food, entertainment, swimming, and different islands to tour. so i would LOVE to go on another cruise with my hubby (maybe for an anniversary or something) also we want to head to mexico to see his family....he hasn't been back in 5 years :(

    my favorite color is red. all my kitchen is red (but i think i'm going to add yellow to it) and then all my house decoration have red in them. i'm drawn to red clothes, bows, scrapbook paper ect.

    my favorite food is BBQ chicken and rice (so yummy) but also i have a huge sweet tooth...not soo good lol

    chapstick is my number one thing i have to have!!i couldn't live without my family. my parents are a HUGE part of our lives and i refuse to think that they might not be here someday.

    i've had TONS of great advice but of course right off the bat i can't think of any so i'll have to get back to ya haha.

  3. Why hello lovely lady!
    My name is Chrissy and i am from Michigan and still there!

    I am a stay at home mom of 3 kiddos ages 10, 5, and two.
    I have been married to my high school sweetheart for almost 6 years but been together 12!

    Do I have any hobbies? Girl I have too many hobbies! I love ALL THINGS crafty, esp fabric related! I also love the beach and getting my tan on! We also enjoy camping a lot and hanging out with friends. I also enjoy mentoring younger moms!

    I have only recently become a stay at home mom (3 years) I have also recently opened my Etsy store. This is very exciting and intimidating to me. (http://www.etsy.com/shop/simplycreated)
    I would love to do this as a full 2nd income for my family. but I know that takes time!

    I would go on vacation somewhere south and somewhere warm. tropical maybe and take the hubby with me. we need a honeymoon! we never had one!
    My favorite color has been and always will be Kelly green! Although i rarely wear it!

    I love anything Mexican or chocolate!

    I could NOT live without my Bible. That is the only thing I would save in a fire!

    My biggest goal is to become a more Godly Mom, wife and friend. I need to be more intentional about not just letting others teach my kids about God.

    The best advice that I would love to share is.
    To trust the Lord with all my heart , my mind, and soul.

    Thanks so much for doing this sweet girl. talk with you soon!

  4. Name: Jeni Q
    Where are you from? A small town in Southern Oregon - Grants Pass {I was born in CA, but only lived there for a short time, so I call myself an Oregonian!}
    Where do you currently live? Grants Pass
    Are you married? Sure am =)
    Do you have children? I am the momma to a little 10 week old named Noah

    What are some recent changes you have made in your life or want to make? In the past year, I've gotten married, and had a child. My life has changed immensely, and I have grown so very much. Recently, I've began a journey to a healthier lifestyle - going to the gym, eating better, living passionately - and not getting too caught up in the hustle and bustle of life.
    If you could vacation anywhere, where would you go? I.R.E.L.A.N.D!
    What is your favorite color? Green/Teal
    What is your favorite food?Recently it's been Taco Salad, but I'm a reformed carb-lover so I'd have to go with pasta on that one!

    Do you have any goals that you are currently working towards? I have several. I'd like to go back to school. I'd like to lose several pounds (I'm talking at least 60). I'd like to embark on a new hobbie/passion. I want to travel out of the country. I want to go back to school. I want to learn how to cook {I can bake a mean cake, but cooking and I don't quite get along! I AM blessed to have a husband that cooks though!}
    What is the best advice you have ever received? People make love harder than it has to be. AND In order to love anyone else, you must love yourself first and foremost.

    Your blog is very inspiring! I look forward to hearing from you, and reading more about your journey.

  5. Hello, Hello:)
    I'm Jessica!
    I'm from Northern California, about an hour north of the golden gate bridge, very close to napa, the wine country!!
    I have lived here all my life so it's not that exciting to me anymore, but I do love it here because all my family is here!
    I am the oldest of eight kids ranging in age from me 27 to my youngest brother who is 10.
    My parents had 6 girls and then decided to adopt 2 boys. There was never a dull moment in my house growing up...still never is!

    I have been married to my loving husband for 6 1/2 years (he's from cincinnati, Ohio.) We had our son Jaxson in October of 2008. He's a wild little guy! Keeps us on our toes!
    We are pregnant with our second due Mid october! We are very excited!

    My hobbies are few these days because of time, I just love to be outside and it's still raining here...no spring for us yet!
    And my great grandma taught me to crochet when I was seven so I love to do that, I make baby hats and all kinds of things. but being in the first trimester has left me not wanting to do anything because i'm so tired!

    Some changes I want to make would be being a more organized person...I'm a bit slobby by nature (which i hate to admit, it embarrasess me) and my husband hates it. I hate dirt and dirty dishes but I don't mind toys and clothes strewn about. So I'm working on that slowly..Also I'm trying to figure out how to cook better for my family. I don't like to cook either cause it makes such a big mess and i'm not that great at it. So being organized would help me a lot in that department.

    If we could go anywhere I think it would be Europe..I've always wanted to go to santorini in greece! Also I would love to go to Vietnam, that is where my dad is from and where all his family is still there. (my dad escaped during the vietnam war!)

    My fav color...hmm Orange

    Fav food is definitly Mexican. and italian....alfredo...mmmm!

    I couldn't live without my family!

    For goals, my best friend and I make a goal list together every year...some of those include for me: reading my bible daily, praying more (My family and I are Jehovah's witnesses) ,being cleaner and more organized...one was get pregnant, but I am so goal accomplished:)

    The best advice I ever received that comes to the top of my head would be: don't let the sun set in a provoked state...So don't ever go to bed angry at your mate, settle it before you sleep.
    and also don't worry about what other people think of you, be yourself...that will make you the happiest!

    This was fun! I love your blog, and watching you progress, your amazing and keep it up! Don't let anyone stop you! Your Inspiring!

  6. Name? Lizzie Justice
    Where are you from? I am originally from Sandy, Utah
    Where do you currently live? I currently live and go to school in Las Vegas, Nevada
    Are you married? I am married to my very best friend, Luke. We have been married since June of 2009
    Do you have children? We currently don't have any children, but we would love to have them any time the Lord sees fit.
    Do you have any hobbies? I love to play soccer, cook and bake, sleep (does that count as a hobby?:D), craft, blog and read, mainly history textbooks.
    What are some recent changes you have made in your life or want to make? Probably the biggest change that I am working on making is becoming active again. I played soccer for most of my life. I played in college for UNLV. I had some head injuries which have made it so I can no longer play soccer. It has also made it difficult to workout. In fact it was only recently that I was cleared by my doctor to workout at all. The biggest change has been changing the expectations for myself. I may not be able to what I used to do (athletically), or even close to what my friends can do, but just doing somethings is huge progress for me.
    If you could vacation anywhere, where would you go? I would love to go to Paris or any part of Italy. I love seeing historical places. However my husband does not. We are going to Hawaii in May, and I am super excited about that!
    What is your favorite color? Red has been my favorite color since I was four, but I recently discovered the color yellow and I love it too because it reminds me of sunshine.
    What is your favorite food? I have an obsession with cheese. Although I can have much of it because I am lactose intolerant. I also really love good chocolate.
    What is one thing can you NOT live without? Besides my husband? Probably carmex. I am outside often for work and my lips crack, so it is a must.
    Do you have any goals that you are currently working towards? I am currently working toward the goal of graduating college (Yay! I only have until May!!) and then finding my first real job in the real world:D
    What is the best advice you have ever received? Happiness is a choice

    I love reading your blog, you truly are so inspiring.
