Just go these done... love my girls :-)
Since I am answering TWO sets of questions I will just skip the random facts... I don't think I could even name them anyways... haha
Questions for ME from Jenessa:
1. How many kids did you want before marriage/how many do you want now?
I wanted 2-3 before I got married. I never thought I would enjoy being a mom or be any good at it and I just figured the fewer the better. Well... now I am thinking AT least 3. My husband thinks 7, but we don't listen to him because he is CRAZY! I love being a mom more then I could ever say and a big family does scare me but feels right at the same time. I guess I will take it one kid at a time. I would probably max out at 5. Brandon and I talk a LOT about adopting and if the opportunity ever came to us we would take it (send any prego teens our way, haha). Sometimes I think #3 may just have to be adopted because I cannot wrap my mind around ever going through another pregnancy again... don't judge, I have my reasons.
2. Where do you see yourself in 10 years?
Brandon done with school and doing what he loves! If we are really lucky that will include loads of money to support those 7 kids he wants;)
I wont be working... well, haha ok I would work a max of 10 hrs. a week. I don't think I can ever just be DONE done...
I will be done having kids... so Brandon better at selling me on all these kids because I WONT be 34 having babies when I started when I was 19! thats just mean.
Irey will be 14... yikes! and Reese will be 11... hope they like to babysit. haha poor girls!
All I want in 10 years is to have the time to love and savor every moment of every day with my family. Priorities!
Sure hope I learn to simplify in the next 10 years... haha
3. What is your dream day?
For time to slow down. A whole day with nothing nagging at me to get done. A WHOLE day (it better be sunny) to enjoy the sweet little things about my girls! A whole day to laugh about the random things that Brandon and I talk about. I just want a day to chill with my family... do nothing but be together! AH, Conference weekend is coming... good timing:)
4. Bacon or French Fries?
DUH! French Fries
5. Is 3D ever worth it?
Not for me... I think it's LAME
6. Gerard Butler or Channing Tatum?
hummm experience or youth? I think Gerard has gotten all kinds of nasty as of late so I will take Channing, with a side of Thor? HEY! a girl can dream;-)
7. Greatest Lesson you have learned till now?
Geeesh... Being sick the last few months, I haven't cared about much outside of my close family and friends. I learned that there is so much we FILL our lives with that is SO STUPID and doesn't matter. I learned that if I "wasted" a whole day playing with my girls and letting my house turn crazy and things go undone that I am a happier person for it and so are they.
8.What is your biggest fear?
To lose Brandon... I got through 18 years of my life with out him, it was hell, when I met him I realized I was surviving and not living. I never want to experience another day with out him ever again.
OH, and my throat tightens at the thought of anything happening to my girls! They are forever a part of me. If they died, I would loose a part of myself that was essential to my life's happiness. I can't stand the thought!
9. If you would change your name what would it be?
I once changed my name and it was a good move. I am happy to be Kylie Blackwell and will keep that haha
10. What is your favorite thing about you?
Well, it's hard to say.... I feel like I need to get reacquainted with myself... I guess I could say that I feel like I can find the good in hard situations. I feel like my positive perspective gets me through some hard things.
11. Why is Jenessa amazing?
Because she has a fun and bubbly personality and always brings sunshine to cloudy days... true story!
11 questions for me from Kimber:
--What did you want to be when you grew up? Why did/didn't that happen?
Since 7th grade I wanted to do hair. I wanted a job that I could do from home so I could be with my kids (my mom worked full time and I hated it). I guess when I decide something I am intense about it because by the time I graduated High School I had my licence!
--What are you most proud of yourself for?
Being a wife and mom. Lame, I know. I feel like it is the hardest and more important job I will ever do.
--What is one of your deepest fears?
As I said above, losing Brandon or my girls :(
or my sisters, It would be similar to losing my ability to laugh!
--What is your strongest ambition in life?
Something died in me the past year... I lost ambition and life became about surviving one day to the next. My strongest ambition as of late is to finish my yard in the next month so I can enjoy it all spring and summer. haha I am super lame!
--If you were to die today, what would you want people to say about you at your funeral?
That I was loving and kind... yikes, I got a lot to work on!
--What is your favorite vacation spot? Why?
Gees, I never go on vacation... Any place that had a beach, clear blue waters, and my hubby with me! We need a vacation like YESTERDAY!
--What was your favorite animal as a young kid? what is it now?
A monkey... and probably still a monkey. I want a little spider monkey like Ross had on Friends.... I guess Reese is a good substitute!
--Who do you trust more than anyone else in this world?
Brandon... There is nothing I couldn't trust him with or not depend on him for. Gosh, I am so damn lucky! sorry but had to be said.
--If you had to choose to lose a sense, which one would it be?
I feel like I am losing half of them already.... I guess it would be touch? I couldn't live with out seeing my kids expressions, hearing their laugh, or smelling that sweet new born smell or Brandon, weird I know but oddly he has a soothing smell haha! I also couldn't lose my Taste! I would rather die then not taste!!!! I should be 300lb with how much food and I love each other!
--What feelings do you have when you think of the future?
excited, anxious, peace... depends on what aspect I am thinking about.
--What is your favorite type of therapy?
The real kind... where you sit on the couch, pour your heart out about all your complicated emotions and then someone makes simple sense of them all and the world seems manageable and even conquerable! Ah, so great! But... since I can't have that I will take retail therapy, spa therapy, sun therapy, or reading on a beach therapy... gosh I am needing the sun more then I can even tell!

Yay for the update!! You must be feeling good today! :-)
I'm proud of you sis. For all that you are and all that you have accomplished. Especially in this past year alone. I think of you as the type of person who doesn't necessarily "broadcast" her trials. Or sadnesses, or illnesses, or hardships. You're very humble about it. (Even though you would have a very good excuse to scream from the rooftops!!) I hope I'm making sense. Ha ha. Some people just need validation for "how hard their life is". But I admire you for all that you have been through and can still find the positive about life! I think you're great!!!!!!!!
