1. How old are you?

Today I am 28 years old and tomorrow I will be 28 still but next month I will be one year closer to 30 :-O Scary huh? No, really the age thing doesn't bother me at all. Maybe because I am still carded when I buy lottery tickets (you have to be 18 to buy those) or maybe just because I wasn't raised to be afraid or ashamed of age. I dunno, but anyway I am 28 years old!

2.Where are you from and where do you live now?

I was born in Reykjavik, Iceland and currently I am living in Virginia Beach, VA. Soon I will be living in Chicago, IL.

3. What music have you been diggin lately?

I love Usher, I will always love Usher but I do like Ne-Yo too. Lately I have been listening to a whole lot of Ne-Yo. I am also really getting into the Christmas spirit and I was just telling Dewayne today that I want to get the Alvin and the Chipmunks Christmas CD. My boys would love that!!

4. Favorite food(s)?

I love Italian food....Chicken Parmesan, Lasagna, Fettuccine Alfredo, etc. Too bad I don't know how to make these things...well I do know how to make an awesome Lasagna. I just need to learn how to make the rest of these things. My Aunt Sharla was just telling me how to make Alfredo sauce the other day and I really need to try it out. Oh and I want to try out the Pioneer Womans Chicken Parmesan that Mama M told me about. Yummy, now I am hungry!!

5. Single,married, divorced?

I am married to my wonderful, sweet, OCD, know it all, best Daddy, trying to be best Husband in the whole wide world.

6. Kids? If so, how many and how old?

I have four sons and one daughter. My sons are
Tyrique who is going to be 13 in February.
Markus who is 9 and a half.
Jalen (Dewayne's son) who is 5 as of August.
Kobe who is 2.
And last but not least my Daughter Maya who is 7.5 months old....ok ok already, Maya is my dog but I love her as my own. Besides, I don't have any human daughters so my dog daughter is just as good :o) I'm not nuts, I promise!!! Maya is treated like a dog in this house and she doesn't think she is human!!!

7. What are 3 blogs you read daily?

I read a lot more than 3 blogs a day. Sometimes I have a hard time keeping up with all my blogs....life gets in my way :o)

8. What is your favorite Christmas/Holiday tradition?

Eating dinner at 6 pm on Christmas Eve. We eat dinner at 6 on the dot and everyone is wearing their Christmas best. We eat and clean the kitchen then it is time to open presents. I love it and I will go into more detail later this month.

9. Lastly, if you're a blogger, how long have you been blogging and if you don't have one..how long have you been reading blogs?

I have been a blogger for a few years now. I started blogging on my Myspace page and then in May of 2008 I decided to start blogging on here. I wasn't really good about blogging until a few months ago. I always had such a hard time trying to figure out what to write but now I love blogging and can usually come up with something off the top of my head by the time I sit down at the computer and start to type. I must say though that I am always thinking of new topics to blog about and I try to write them down so I don't forget them. As for how long I have been reading blogs....since about May time frame last year. I had no idea the blog world existed until then. Man I wish I would have known about this when I was home on bed rest with Kobe. I definitely would have been able to keep myself occupied all day!
