This thread will be for asking questions and getting to know Cynthia, our MOTW for 5/13 - 5/19!
Why don't we start by finding out where you post from, where you grew up, and where is your dream place to live!

If you could be any animal, what would you be and why?
If you could travel anywhere in the world for one week (cost is not a factor) where would you go and what would you do there?

Oh yay! I'm so excited! 
I live in Los Angeles, born and raised, in a little city called Pacoima, which is not very glamorous, despite what everyone thinks haha! I live about 10 minutes from Hollywood, and it's a craphole. 
I want to live in a small town....anywhere that there are farms, and horses, and everyone knows everyone, and everyone knows everyone's buisness. That is all SO appealing to me. Living in the "big city" my whole life hasn't been my idea of the ideal place.

What a good question....Maybe a horse, because they are my favorite animals, and because just walking around in the sun all day grazing sounds relaxing. That or a Tiger/big cat, because they are so graceful and beautiful but can turn into a ferocious animal if you make them mad. I wish I could be that way as a person!
Travel? Hmmm, maybe England//Ireland/Italy....any of those places....They are where my family comes from and I would love to see where I come from and maybe meet family who live there still. I'd put a lot of money into research of if I have family there.

It's no secret that since I may be able to have only one child with DH because of his age, I'd really love a girl....but If we get two (which is what I want, but we'll have to see with the trouble getting pregnant) I want a boy first and then a girl...But at this point I'll really take anything I can get! I just want a baby! haha!!
Dh and I met in College.
I like purple, but I wouldn't use it for anything like my car or house or anything...I just like the color....lol
I like Fall, because I get hot SO easily, and Fall in LA is beautiful and breezy. I also like winter, but it's not as pretty as Fall here.

I have two doggies, possibly a third on the way...we haven't decided if we are going to get another one or not but I want him! I have Chopper who is a Jack Russell mix, and Cupid who is a standard poodle...he's huge. hahaha We have a friend who has a bulldog that is pregnant, and offered us a puppy, but I have to talk DH into letting us get it...our place isn't super big, but I've ALWAYS wanted a Bulldog and I might tell our friend to put us on the list anyway
I go back and forth on names....Right now I love the boy names Chase, Noah, and Colton. All I'm sure of with boy names is the middle name is going to be Charles, after my grandfather. Girls, I'm stuck on Juliet, Aubrey, Lynette, and Natalie.

How many brothers/sisters do you have? Does DH have brothers aans sisters?
And not to hijack but I did post some cute horsey pics on my Mothers day post per Purple Cat's request if you want your cuteness factor for the day (of course I am very biased on the cuteness level).

What's your favorite healthy snack? How about not so healthy?
Do house responsibilities fall along stereotypical gender lines, or do you throw them out the window- ie. he cooks and clean, you mow and fix the car?

I would like to have two, maybe three kids. But we've made adjustments because I have stepkids, so I'll have two stepkids, and two or three kids of my own. Which is fine. Plus the puppies!

I like to cook...I'm pretty darn good too! I like autobiography type books, and fantasy/fairy tail type books.
The only place we go on a regular basis for vacation is San Diego, but my favorite trip we took was to San Francisco.

I've picked out so much baby stuff...but DH is very "practical" (that's what HE calls it lol) and doesn't want to buy anything until I'm pregnant....especally since I always sway towards girl stuff, and what if I have a boy?

My life is hard sometimes, but I love my life....a typical day in my life is my ideal day....the only thing that would make me happier, is to see a BFP!!

I have, an older brother, an older sister, and two younger sisters. DH has a sister.
I'll be sure to check out those horses! I'm so excited!

I like fruit...especially oranges and berries. Yumm. Not healthy....I have a thing for fruity candy, and chips....anything salty or greasy.
For the most part I cook and clean and he does the guy stuff, but I can usually get him to clean the bathrooms because it grosses me out lol and the patios, since the dogs use it as a toilet....seriously, we walk them for hours, but they refuse to potty anywhere but on the back patio. Weirdos!

Thankyou. Dh's mom wants us to go with her to Japan....Like randomly she just called one day and asked if we wanted to go to Japan hahah! It's not really somewhere I've ever thought about going, but why not? DH is NOT feeling it, but he wants to go somewhere, so we're trying to figure out somewhere to go, but we always take a trip durring summer. Last year San Francisco, the year before Arizona...and we usually drive, but this year he wants to fly somewhere different.

Hmmm....Probably the day I met DH....I know it's cheesy, but he is honestly the best thing to ever happen to me, and I don't know where I would be without him now.
I don't have a lucky number, but my favorite number is 8.

The first time, it was just at dinner, just us, very sweet. The second time, it was a bigger affair, with family and friends and the speech and everything.
We had a small wedding, very small, like, just us. haha But we just started planning a bigger wedding, even though we've been married for two years already...he wants me to have the wedding I always wanted, and I'm SO excited.
I'm not huge on desserts....I like greasy, salty food more haha! But if I had to choose, I'd say the snickers cheescake from cheesecake factory. SO good!

Tell me about your step-kids! How often are they with you? What are their special traits? How do you get along with them?
If you could travel somewhere- no budget or time constraints- where would you go? (No cheating with the whole "trip around the world" or "European tour" answers!)
What is your favorite flower and why?
Can you share a picture of your backyard, kitchen, and/or closet- whatever you're comfortable with?

What is you and DH's favorite thing to do together (& BD does not count)?
How did you come up with your dog's names?
