How You Met: High School...show choir. Yep.

I want to see the pretty dresses." NO, I have never tried one on. I've only been in wedding shops for other friends weddings, to get bridesmaids dresses. NO, I would never try one on before there was a solid "Will you Marry Me?" from SO. Dear god, I'm crazy...but not that much.
How I like my potatoes: How DON'T I like my potatoes, would be a more appropriate question...I like them: Mashed, scalloped, au gratin, cheesey, hash brown, home style, curly seasoned fries...shall I go on?

Tell Us Something Interesting About Yourself: My dad was in the Coast Guard and for three years, we were stationed in San Diego. We had a lighthouse and the Pacific Ocean in our front yard. Probably a year or so before moving there, they filmed a couple of scenes of Top Gun there (though they couldn't show the lighthouse). It was near the end, when Tom Cruise visits his boss at home, and you see a brick wall and the ocean. They filmed it in my neighbors' house but you could see our house in the background of Tom Cruise's head when they go outside
