Short and to the point!! We got married in Las Vegas. We stayed at The Mirage, a big white stretch limo came to pic us up at our hotel, and drove us to get our liscense then to the Little White Chapel on the Vegas Strip, where we stood through the moonroof of our limo and exchanged our vowels in "the Tunnel of Love" by a minister who was leaning out the drive-thru window!

Boys r us replied: did you go to college? where? what was your major?
Yes, I went to Radford University, Major was Interdisciplinary studies
How did you meet your DH?
I was supposed to go out with some girls from work for my birthday, however, I had to go to dinner with my parents first. So I went to dinner, after dinner, I called the girls and we made plans to meet at a bar downtown, just so happens my best friend was the manager of this bar. So, I got there..my friends weren't there yet and my best friend and I were talking and she gave me a shooter to do, well she was trying to talk to me, but I couldn't look at her b/c I couldn't quit staring at this INCREDIBLY HOT guy sitting at one of the tables!
Grace(my friend) was like WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT? and I said, ONLY THE HOTTEST MAN I'VE EVER LAID EYES ONE!
So then my cell phone rang and b/c it was so noisy in the bar, I walked outside to talk. It was one of the girls who was supposed to meet me for my birthday night out. Well, turns out, one of the other girls who was riding with her..her baby got sick and she had to go home, so they couldn't meet me! I was so sad..it was my birthday and now I didn't have any plans! So, I hung the phone up and just as I was getting ready to turn around and walk back inside, I heard someone screaming my name, I turned around and it was a girl named Lori who I had been very close to in high school, but hadn't seen in a couple of years. She gave me a hug and asked me what I was doing, I told her the whole story about how I was getting stood up on my b-day and she said, well come back inside and hang out with me and my boyfriend and a couple of other friends. So I did..well low and behold, upon following her back to her table, she sat down at the table with the HOTTIE!!!! It was Rick..and well, what can I say, he immedietely fell in love with me and we've been together ever since!
Do you like to cook?
do you bake? Love to cook and Bake
How did you choose the names for your sons?
Tanner, I chose his name long before he was conceived. When I was 16 or so, my mom and I were shopping for new bathing suits before going on vacation, while I was in the dressing room, this cute little blonde headed boy about 2 kept peeking his head under my dressing room stall, his mom kept haulering at him, "Tanner stop it!" I told my mom that day that if I ever had a little boy, his name would be Tanner!
Braedon, it's just a name I'd heard and liked, I narrowed my choices down to Braedon, Connor and Landon and let Rick choose.
Do you like reality tv shows?
At first I LOVED them, but now the concept is getting old..although I admit, if I happen to get started on one, then I'm hooked! American Idol is the only one I make a point to watch anymore!
Kaitlin'smom replied: do you have an unusal percings? if so where?
any tatoo's, if yes what and where if not do you want one?
any recent pics of your family to share?
are you planning on having any more kids?
Boys r us replied: do you have an unusal percings? if so where?
I don't have any that I would classify as unusual, I have my ears and my belly button pierced. Although, the belly ring was taken out when I was 4mnths pg with Braedon and I haven't put it back in and probably never will..I'm over that whole phase in my life.
any tatoo's, if yes what and where if not do you want one?
Yes, I have a Strawberry with a bite out of it and it's on my right butt cheek. the only time you can see it is..when I'm naked of course and also when I wear a bathing suit.
any recent pics of your family to share?
We have NEVER had a family picture taken with all four of us..plenty of the kids to show though!
are you planning on having any more kids?
I want one more and IT BETTER BE A GIRL!
We've not been actively trying, but we haven't been using any BC for a year now...
Kaitlin'smom replied: NEVER had a family photo done????? GO DO IT.....really NEVER why? if I mgiht ask?
Boys r us replied: Well, I've had family photos done with my family growing up and of course rick has too and I had one picture of Tanner and I done before Rick and Braedon came along..but just have never gotten around to all 4 of us having one done. I guess I just think my kids are much better looking than I am..so the pics come out better with just them
Kaitlin'smom replied:
well I know Kaitlin is so much better looking than me but I still have them done, so thats a terrible excuse. I think you should have them done I bet they would be beautiful

Boys r us replied: I just want to say that you are one of the funniest people on this board and I enjoy your posts..that being said ....Thank you, I apprenciate that..it's kind of hard to be funny online, but I try!
How did you become so comical? I don't know, I have 3 brothers and I think that it was originally a "ploy" to get attention or make myself stand out at home when the talk at the dinner table always seemed to be around sports and so forth. But it came really natural...so who knows..guess I just have a funny gene or two!
What is your dream car? Ohhh there are SOOO many! I'm a CAR fanatic!
I think my dream car isn't too far out of reach, a hummer! I would love an H2!
Not as my primary car, but as just a toy car!!
If you won a million dollars, what would be the first thing you would buy (aside froma house, car, etc...)? HIRE A FULL TIME MAID AND NANNY ~ two seperate people
How many times have you been to Vegas? I absolutely love it there and I'm going for my second time for my honeymoon this year!!
I've been to vegas 3 times, I think..having mental debate right now..3 or 4 times.. anyhow I LOVE IT!!!
Maddie&EthansMom replied: Everyone has asked some really good questions. It seems we have a lot in common.  I just wanted to add that I am so glad you are a member of this board. I have enjoyed getting to know you and your family. You have made me smile, lifted my spirits and made me cry (in a good way) and you have even opened my eyes to a lot of things. You have a contagious spirit and I can see why you are so well liked.  Sometimes I wish we lived closer to each other so we could hang out.
**I grew up with three brothers, too. It is rough. LOL! You really learn to fend for yourself. Survival of the fittest.
Boys r us replied:
Oh Aimee..you got me all teary eyed! That was sweet! But you're right, we are a lot alike, so I guess that makes you pretty cool too, huh
