May I just say how excited I am about the questions that were emailed to me for this new series….
I mean, the very first one was about sex, so clearly, I’m stoked. 
I’m titling this little gem of a series Ask & Answered and I’m going to hold off on the sex question until a bit later (try not to be sad, I’ll get to it, promise!) and today I’m going to do a quick round up of some of the quick answer questions that were tossed my way.
Asked: I love Starbucks and am always curious what people drink from there….so what is your go to drink?
Answered: so, believe it or not, I do not enjoy the taste of coffee. I didn’t actually start drinking coffee until I moved to Maine and needed something warm to get me through the day. The Starbucks in Bangor has a drive through so I didn’t have to brave the elements and get out of the car. Obviously, I became a regular. When I had the baby, the drive through team had me roll up at their window so they could see the baby sleeping in his car seat. My order is the same, rain or shine, -9 degrees or 99 degrees and everyone from my husband to my best friend know it by heart: a grande Pike’s Place in a venti cup with extra cream and 5 Splenda. 
Yes, five. 
Four won’t cut it and six is just silly.
Asked: Will you be relocating for work for years to come or are you already over it? 
Answered: when we got married, we agreed that we would consider any opportunity that advanced my Husband’s career (the career that supports our family) and had the potential to make him happy at the office. I knew that would/could involve many relocations. While 2 moves as a family (and one for me to move to Greenville to be with Justin) in 5 years is a more than I honestly ever imagined, each move has been well thought out and we have agreed to each one – we aren’t “sent” somewhere by the company. With that being said, our son is now our first priority. As he gets older, we are less and less thrilled with the idea of uprooting him. We love the Greenville area and are pleased to be back, but if I were a betting girl, I would bet that we’ll make one more move in the near-ish future. We would love to stay in this house for many years to come (uh, especially since it’s not even finished yet) but I will say that we make design decisions based on re-sale, something that most people don’t worry about when picking paint colors.
Asked: ok, so you put it out there, so now I have to ask – how do you feel about your C-Section scar??
Answered: honestly, I never really think about it (unless my skin is dry, then it itches!). It’s super, super low – well below my bikini line and it isn’t nearly as long as I thought it would be. I was lucky and have very few stretch marks so I think that helps in regards to my feelings about the entire area. At this point (almost a year later), my scar is maybe a little more red than I would like but I know the scar will fade a bit with time (well, once I’m done having babies). Now that I’m thinking about it, I do wonder what will happen once they have to use the same incision area to get other offspring outta my Baby Maker – I mean, will that thing look like rail road tracks? Thankfully, it is covered by any type of bikini bottom I would ever consider wearing at this point in my life and therefor, never sees the light of day. 
Asked: did you hire a designer to help you with your reno?
Answered: nope! Justin and I made the decisions of all the things we wanted in our house and then worked with a drafter and our contractor to make as much of it happen as possible. Honestly, that may have been my fave part of the entire process – I stood in the house in it’s original “before” condition and said things like “I need a desk” or “I want a gigantic island” and gestured wildly. The drafter walked around me measuring everything a million times and the contractor would tell me to slow my roll. At the end of the meeting we had a pencil sketch of the layout of the new house and that sketch became the blue print that we’ve all worked from ever since. 
Next week, I’ll hit a big question that came in that deserves it’s own post and we’ll keep this crazy train rolling! 
Have a question for me? 
Send it, baby!
