You Asked...I Answer

What great questions you all had. Here are the answers.

1) Sharon asked: Is it Carol-LINe or Carol-LYN? It is CaroLINE. My family call me Carolyn, but still spell it Caroline. I used to hate my name growing up, but now LOVE my name; the way it is pronounced as well as spelled.

2) Sandra asked: If you could live anywhere in the world, assuming you had jobs and all that practical stuff covered....where would you live? I would probably have to have two houses. One in Northern Minnesota and then one in the Florida Keys. If it were up to me I would live in Minnesota all the time, but I don't think Laura would put up with the cold temps and snow.

3) Anonymous asked: What are the top 3 date night destinations in KC? I would have to say for us it would be 1) Marina Grog and Galley 2) Kokopelli's and 3) Plaza

4) Eye of the Rainbow asked: How many colors are in a rainbow flag and what does each color stand for? And do you own a rainbow flag? I thought this was a wonderful question. If you click here you can see what the colors on the flag mean and the history. Very interesting. We don't have a rainbow flag, but lots of things in our house with the rainbow on it.

5) Lynilu asked: What is the best thing in your life BESIDES each other?
Caroline--I would have to say all our furry pets. When I was by myself they were my companions. They were always there greeting me when I came home and loved me no matter how crazy I acted.

Laura-- My family

6) Sassyfemme asked: Tell us the story of how you guys met and fell in love? When I was working in a small town south of KC I met Laura through my job. We met on May 7, 2004. Two weeks later I gave her my phone number and she asked when I would be home and settled so she could call. I told her 8pm and would you believe she waited until 8:45pm to call me. I thought for sure she wasn't going to call me. She later said she waited on purpose. That first night we talked until 2am. After talking nonstop on the phone for one week (boy was my Mom mad since she couldn't get through on the phone line) we set up our first date for May 28th. (the day before my b-day) We were together from then on and Laura officially moved in late July.
