    Screaming.  Then work out.

    1. Do you personally know any veterans?
    Several.  My dad, FIL and SFIL all served in Vietnam.  I also dated a Marine for over 5 years (and over the course of 3 deployments,) so I know more than my share of Iraq/Afghanistan veterans and far too many that did not make it back. 

    2. Describe the moment you realized you were in love with your SO.
    When I didn't want to run the other direction.  I was relationship-phobic.  I knew he was something special when we could be around each other 24/7 and still wanted to spend time with him.  Also, I knew he was it when I went through some health crap early on.  

    3. What's the best way for you to relieve stress?
    There is such a thing a relieving stress?
    It used to be exercise or sex.  Now I am happy to have 30 minutes to myself with a glass of wine.

    4. Describe your dream vacation.
    Right now, I cannot wait until our kids are old enough to go to Disneyland.  Woot!!!! 
    We hope to go to Croatia some day.  I'd love to take a cruise of the Mediterranean.

    5. Favorite thing and least favorite thing about where you currently live (city/part of the country)?
    Favorite - our neighbors/neighborhood.  There is a true sense of community here.
    Least - lack of quality shopping in the immediate vicinity

    6. Have you stayed friends with your ex(s)? Why or why not?

    I am friends with 1 guy but that is it.  We were friends long before we ever hooked up and the hooking up was very brief. 
    I do not see the point in remaining friends with an ex.  It is called a break-up because it was broken.  I have also never dated a 'friend.'  The friendship that came about was part of the romantic relationship.  Thus when the romantic relationship ends, there is no friendship to be had. 

    7. Favorite seasonal food (fall/winter)?
    I love all fall/winter flavors.  I love pumpkin, gingerbread, peppermint... everything.

    8. Knottie you'd most like to meet IRL?

      I cannot wait.


    9. Do you believe in/follow any superstitions?
    Nope.

    10. What TV show(s) are on your DVR (or that you always make a point to watch)?
    Glee

    1. Do you personally know any veterans?
    FI served 4 years in the Navy; both of my grandfathers and most of my great-uncles served in WWII; one great-uncle was career Air Force; my mom's brother was career Navy; my MOH's dad was a career Marine; one of my BM's husband was Air Force for 8 years then joined the Guard; and tons of people from my church.

    2. Describe the moment you realized you were in love with your SO.
    Just a couple weeks after we started dating, I took Joe to my parent's house for dinner to meet my mom (he'd already met my dad) - that afternoon my mom was fired from her job for a really stupid reason (unemployment agreed with her and she won the appeal), but she wanted to do dinner anyway.  Joe spent the evening trying to make my mom laugh and listening to my dad tell all of his long-winded stories and as we were leaving, he gave my mom and big hug and a kiss on the cheek.

    3. What's the best way for you to relieve stress?
    I'll watch a movie or work on making cards

    Probably a trip to Ireland and Scotland

    5. Favorite thing and least favorite thing about where you currently live (city/part of the country)?
    This is home for me, I am one of those rare true native Las Vegans, so I just put up with everything else 'cause it's home.  And to answer the question I've heard way too many times in my life, no we don't all live in the hotels.

    6. Have you stayed friends with your ex(s)? Why or why not?
    Nope, one cheated the other was just a jerk

    7. Favorite seasonal food (fall/winter)?

    Have a few cousins and friends who have/are serving

    2. Describe the moment you realized you were in love with your SO.
    We'd been dating about 3 months and one day, I came down with food poisoning. I was so sick and had to cancel our date. I told him I was sick and I just needed to sleep it off and I'd see him later when I was feeling better. I fell asleep and woke up to find him coming into my room with yellow gatorade. He had bought it and when no one answered the door and I didn't answer my phone, he went to the neighbors below us, who thankfully were friends, and asked them if he could use their balcony to climb on to mine. He knew that we never locked that door so he climbed onto the balcony to get in to bring me gatorade and make sure I was okay. He stayed with me all night and took care of me.

    Hit up the shooting range or do some yoga and pilates or go hit up the punching bag in the garage.

    Dislikes: Traffic... I hate so-cal traffic

    6. Have you stayed friends with your ex(s)? Why or why not?
    Nope.  I wasn't friends with them before so it was hard to maintain a friendship afterwards.

    Pumpkin muffins with chocolate chips and gingerbread lattes!

    8. Knottie you'd most like to meet IRL?
    Mmm... I cna't pick just one
