7.  What is the one food you couldn't eat if you were starving to death?
Pickled Pig's Feet- I've never tried them but they make my stomach turn just thinking about them!!

8.  Favorite animal and why?
I have too many to just pick one: Starfish, Manatees, Pandas and Pugs (Kaiya hold my heart!)

9.  Why did you start a blog?
I orgionally wanted to start a blog when I found out I was moving to Alaska.  It was such a different world and I wanted my friends/family back home to see what I was going through!  Fast forward to last April when I actually got off my procrastinating butt and started it... it was still to document my fun/changes/experiences and for a creative outlet.  I have a need to create and be heard!  It warms my heart each time I see a comment or someone tells me how much they love my blog.

10.  If you could visit one place you've never been, where would you go?
I can't wait to go to Austrailia, Africa and Asia.  I can't pick just one!  It will happen!!

11.  What's your favorite season and why?
FALL!!!  I love everything about this time of year!  When the leaves change colors, Starbucks pumpkin lattes are released and scarves can be seen on every man, woman and child my heart skips a beat!  Swoon!
