As usual, I can't sleep (I blame watching scary movies, lol) so I went through some of my favorite blogs for inspiration.
I came across a post that Nidhal and Makeupdiva did quite a few months ago and I was so intrigued. I love reading 3 interesting facts from everyone.
I figured that since there have been a lot of new brides that have joined (as well as those that have been around for awhile), it would be nice to do one of these posts again and get to know each other.
I'd love for you all to share 3 interesting facts about yourself , I'm sure a lot of us will find out we have so much in common.
Ready? 1...2....3... GO!
i canèt sleep either. so you are not alone.
Facts are:
1. 2 weeks ago I was up at a friends cottage. I have one to many drinks. I thought it would be a great idea to try and break dance. Well that did not work out very well. I ended up really hurtting my left thumb. I thought I broke it. After getting x-rays done. I found out I did not break it. I sprained it.
2. I have 2 kittens (8 months old), 1 dog and a turtle
3. I am an only child
1....2....3....... NEXT PERSON!
I'm glad your thumb isn't broken!
Fact 1: I have two dogs, one good and one naughty but both sisters, two cats, and a ferret. I want more animals. My house is like a zoo.
Fact 2: I love my MOH to death and wouldn't want anyone else to be in that spot, but I am also afraid that she won't be there for me completely when needed. Right before my FH proposed, my MOH's boyfriend proposed to her. But it was forced. They have two kids together, been together forever, he wanted a motorcycle, she wanted a ring.. they made a deal. Not long after I got engaged, they broke up because her now ex is a dick. So it's a sore spot.. and I hope that since there is still a year and a half to our wedding, she will have time to mend. Whew.. long fact. Sorry.
Fact 3: This is a doozie, but it's something I chose to ignore and it's been eating at me lately. I have a four year old daughter.. but before her, I was raped, ended up pregnant, and had a boy who I gave up for adoption because I didn't think I could love him enough due to how he came about. He will be six in Jan. It was an open adoption and his parents recently contacted me to tell me they told him about me.. so it's not something I can just shove to the back of my mind anymore.
Okay.. done! Sorry for the whoppers!

3. I'm from Baltimore (I haven't seen any Baltimore brides on here yet)
I myself:
1) Am a serious shopaholic my moto is " life is 2 short 2 not have what u want so buy 2 " ; )
2) FH and I hav 2 children ages 5 and 10 and he has a son age 9.. Yes he cheated on me. We found out about him when he was 6 ( process of elimination on her part ). During this time we had a ROCKY!!! Relationship but I hav now accepted the child as my own.
3) I LOVE!!!! cheese...
Here are three interesting facts about me:
1) I can say the alphabet backwards really quickly. I taught myself when I was a kid because my dad could do it and he would tease me that I couldn't.
2) I get choked up when Ellen DeGeneres surprises her guests with new cars and huge prizes. Sometimes I even get choked up during commercials if it's really sappy.
3) I'm doing my PhD now but I actually had a really rebellious childhood where I had a brief stint where I moved out of my house to live with my ex-boyfriend and dropped out of school for a semester.
1. Most of you would already know but I'm AUSTRALIAN and kinda wished there were more of us on here. We don't have this "Dollar Tree" lol :( And Noone would recognise the stores I shop from!
2. I am the oldest of 9 children, all from the same parents :) We are one ultra happy family, not deprived in any way :) Sure we had to learn to share and realize that we aren't the most important, but at the end of the day, we have so much love for each other we can't imagine if any one of us wasn't in exsistence!!
3. I actually met Jason online :) I hate saying it.. but it wasn't a dating website!! It was actually a penpal website that I joined to get contacts for my trip to Europe. My profile didn't even say I was single! I do believe I have failed to blog about how wew met and got engaged... how sad lol.
princessfortheday- My dream job would be in event planning, too!! I have absolutely fallen in love with planning my wedding that I seriously don't know what I'm going to do with myself when it's over. At least I still have a year to enjoy it!
lpharr- I LOVE cheese, too! I just can't have much of it anymore since I'm dieting! Ugh, I'm glad I'm seeing results, otherwise I'd go in there and take a huge bite out of a chunk of cheese.
macbride- Omg! I get choked up during commercials, too! Mainly those ASPCA (sp?) commercials where it has those animals in the shelter and normally "Arms of an Angel" is playing. Oh my, it makes me tear up just thinking about it.
hannikay- That's so awesome about all your siblings! I only have 2 sisters and we use to be close, but not so much anymore. That's awesome that you have such a close relationship with them.
1.- I'm mexican and my FH is scottish, we met on-line as well not a dating site the site is wayn (where are you now) it's meant to be for people who like traveling. Then we started using messenger, texting we met face to face and since the first moment we just knew we are meant to be!!!
2. I prefer cold weather so i can drink hot chocolate and cuddle up my fh.
3. I sometimes sing and dance in front of the mirror like giving my own concert hahahahahaha!!!
1. I am the baby in the family - my two brothers are 12 and 14 years older then me. My parents will NEVER admit I was a mistake (my Dad actually gets mad at me if I say it, LOL) but come on....but I'm okay with it - I have six nieces and nephews that I love dearly, and I wouldn't change it for anything!
2. I am addicted to checking the weather forecast...I have an app on my phone and check it multiple times a day....wtf is wrong with me!
3. I have an unhealthy love for vampire shows/books....Vampire Diaries, True Blood, Twilight...I always said I'd never ever get into it, but it sucked me right in. Sigh.
I also have to say, I LOVEEEE the snow (always checking the weather for snow in the forecast) and I also cry at the SPCA commercials..I have to turn them off or mute the sound and bury my head in a blanket so I don't see those poor little animals...I want to adopt them all!
Ok I'm done! =D
try change of life baby :-)
that's what my mom calls babies that are born to older parents, lol
your dad my feel better with that instead of mistake
3 facts:
1) I have known and been friends with my fiance since the 8th grade ( we are now 26 years old). So we have no hidden secrets in our closets, for we grew up together =)
2) I am a pediatric RN, it is soooo hard and heart breaking to work with sick kids, I work with rehabilitation mostly brain injury, its so sad and so hard, but I must say its very rewarding when I get to see them go home and the progress well =) Being a Peds RN has really made me appreciate life more. when things get rough I tell myself how strong these little kids are to go through what they go through and they are so young and innocent, i appeciate and I am thankful for all the little things in life
3) I am the baby of my family and the first to get married and the only to graduate from college. I come from a low income family and my parents didnt have much money to put me through college, so I worked fulltime throughout the entire RN program, I never got sleep and didnt get to have much of a life ( which is why i love my fh so much for sticking by me throughout all this). I feel I had to work twice as hard to get through school, cuz RN school is NO breezer. My professors in nursing school thought I was crazy for working fulltime and thought I wouldnt make it through nursing school, and kept telling me to cut my hours at work. But financially I couldnt, if I did i would lose my care, my roof over my head, and definately couldnt pay for school. But I made with a B average, and passed my state boards on the first try...this is my pride, becuz people say it couldnt be done, and I did it =)
My three things:
1. I am originally from Russia, and immigrated to Canada 3,5 yrs ago. After 1 year of being in Canada, I met my FH, and this was the best part of it all. When I think of it, it was meant to be. I remember how hard it was moving to another country, getting a job, adapting, etc. etc. But when I met Mike, all of it seemed to make sense, because it was like I was going through all that for him.
2. I like many other brides have 2 pets. I grew up in a pet-less family (my dad claimed he had allergies :). And when I moved in with my FH, I became a mom to two lovely cats, Buffy and Monkey. They are adorable, and frankly deserve a separate post :)
3. My biggest fear with regard to my wedding is that my parents and brother won't be able to come because they won't get their visitor visas. I hope it won't happen, but I can't help but worry about it every day. Just in case, I am getting ready with "webcasting" my wedding to my family and friends, and definitely would ask them to make a speech, even if it's only via webcast.
1. I am a dancer...since age 3. I have studied...Jazz, tap, ballet, pointe, lyrical, pole.
2. I just had brain surgery, but you can't tell because NOTHING keeps me down :)
3. I'm a military wife!
1* I played flute for 10 years
2* Ive had severe depression for about 6 years as well as insomnia
3* I HATE being out the "wilderness" I cant stand being dirty in anyway, Im terrified of any bug idc how big, how small, how cute, pretty or ugly the stupid thing is Im terrified (i even have a bug vac that sucks them up so my FH can take them outside later!) Whe my hands get dirty I can breathe if they are above my waist so all in all camping, hiking, being outdoors, sooooooooo NOT my thing! City girl all the way!!!
1. I am the oldest of four children. 1 brother and 2 sisters (one died at 3 months)
2. I am working on my 2nd Bachelor's Degree in Journalism. The first was in photography.
