Since we are all having so much fun with the recent “Getting To Know You” style Blog Hops, Trisha has decided to keep them going with a new “Interview” style post. You can see her original post and link up here.
1. What advice would you give your 16 year old self?
The people that you love will not be around forever, and to cherish the time that you do have because the one regret you will have in life is not spending every moment possible before their time on Earth was finished.
Oh, and never stop running… you will NOT have that body forever lol
2) How many pets do you own?
Enough to almost be able to charge admission at the door…. and that is EXACTLY how we like it. Two dogs, three cats, a fish tank and a skink.
3) What did you want to be when you grew up and did you follow your dreams?
An attorney, and no. When I was 18 I decided not to let school get in the way of my education, and I packed up to find some “wide open spaces.” Which I found for sure and though it was not always the easiest path (for me or my parents) I do not regret a single moment in time. In fact I think I am probably living a life that is much more fulfilling than had I become an attorney – I dont know many lawyers who work solely from home and are able to take their children to and from school, attend every event, join them randomly for surprise lunch…
4) What was your first car?
A Pontiac Bonneville. I have no idea what year it was but the car was awesome. It didnt even have a tape deck in it (sad my 13 year old doesnt even know what a “tape deck” IS) but the speakers in it were awesome. I could pack a bunch of my friends in it and rock out every where we went… which was just about everywhere.
(I cant even FIND a picture online of a car that looked like mine…)
5) If you had a plane ticket in your hand right now to go anywhere in the world, where would it be?
I would take Mike and go to Paris. One day I want to kiss him in the rain in front of the Eiffel Tower. And it will happen… someday.
Beth Larrabee (@MusingMainiac) says
I would definitely tell my 16 year old self to spend more time and cherish every moment with my Nana. She passed away in April and I miss her so much.
Joy Williams says
I’ll go to Paris with yoU!!!!!!!!!
Not So Average Mama says

Anna says
Working from home is definitely a great goal, but at 16 one doesn’t think of it as an aspiring thing… however, once you are there, you can’t imagine anything else!
admin says
I always knew I wanted to own my own business (practice) because I hate having a boss lol I just never imagined it would be doing what I do now.
Marianna says
I have to go google a skink now because I have no idea what that is!
Sara Phillips says
A skink?! What IS that?!
I love your Paris dream! It’s beautiful! I’d go to Tahiti! 😀
Rachel says
My brothers first car was a Pontiac Bonneville. I don’t know the year but it was old. We used to call it ‘the boat’. That thing was huge!
admin says
haha mine wasnt huge, but it was kinda boxy. I loved it.
Brandy says
So much fun getting to know more about you! Love every answer, cute pics of your pets!
Rachel Roland says
It was so great to get to know you more – I remember Bonnevilles – they were pretty fly back in the day. And yes, tape decks were the way to go – I think my first car (a 99 accent) even had one, too!!
