Get to Know Me A Bit Better

This survey has been going around the internet so I thought it would be a fun post for tonight. Bo and I are busy finishing some last minute prep work for tomorrow night’s Thanksgiving feast. We are hosting 21 friends, including Meghann and Derek! In fact, we’re heading to the train station in a few minutes to pick them up!

    I can’t wait to teach you some Russian!

    OH DA.

      🙂 Sounds great! Have you been to St Petersburg?

    Father of the Bride IS MY FAVORITE MOVIE. I will also not eat honeydew. I believe it to be the carnation of melons. (I also dislike carnations the flower if you couldn’t already tell). 🙂 Can’t wait to do this!

      Your hatred for carnation or the word in general is hilarious! 🙂

    I just have to know….which state have you NOT been to? 49 of 50 is impressive.

    • ashleyd November 27, 2014 / 8:03 am

      I haven’t been to Alaska yet! That will most likely have to wait until we’re back in the States as it is SO far and expensive to get to from Switzerland!

        I wondered if it was Alaska. That is the one state I have been to. We cruised out of Seattle and had a wonderful time. I am, of course, jealous of your Europe travel. Enjoy this wonderful opportunity, as you have been. We are planning a river cruise in 2018 and I can hardly wait!

        I look forward to reading more about your adventures.
