Terrell - Because his dad is Terry and we wanted something similar 3. How much was gas when you first started driving? $0.79 per gallon, the good old days, been 10 years 4. Whats your favorite color? Blue, I love blue 5. Whats your favorite summer movie? I have to say ironman, it was awesome.

1. For your wls journey, what has been the most difficult hurdle? How did you cross it? Getting a date!  LOTS OF PRAYING!

2. What are your kids names, and why did you choose them? Nicholas - I really like the name and it was one that wasn't already used.  DH & I are more traditional.  Also - really liked Eight is Enough! lol  Wonder what happened to little Nicholas? Elizabeth - Named after my sis who lives in Fla (her middle name).  She didn't have any kids. Rebecca - Her middle name is my longest friends middle name.  DH & I both just liked Rebecca

3. How much was gas when you first started driving?  I should know this answer.  I think it was like $.97??  I really can't remember.  It could have been over $1.  It was 1988.

4. Whats your favorite color?  GREEN

5. Whats your favorite summer movie? We don't go to the movies very often.  Last one was The Simpson's.  Prior to that it was LOTR - Return of the King.

Just looked up the gas.  It says - national average for 1988 was $1.08/gal.  I think that sounds about right.  I think it would bounce from mid-high .80  - to about $1.10.

In the 90's gas hovered right around $1.06-$1.17. In the last 8 years it has gone up 400%! and it could make it to 600%?!  Hmmm  - gosh seems to me something else has a 8 yr anniversary too.  Can't put my finger on it......

1.  For your WLS journey, what has been the most difficult hurdle?  How did you cross it? Hmmmmm....probably the biggest hurdle was waiting the month between the time I got my surgery date and the actual date.  My surgeon was on vacation.  So, I just took it easy that summer.  Oh, wait, that's what I do every summer....LOL!  Really, I was blessed with an easy journey.  2.  What are your kids' names, and why did you choose them? I don't have any children, but I do have two dogs....LOL!  We named one Rex because he's a little dog (mini-doxie) with a big attitude, so he needed a little name with big meaning and Rex means "king".  Ruby, well, she's just Ruby because we liked it.  3.  How much was gas when you first started driving? Um....that was like 22 years ago.  It was under a dollar.  I really don't remember! 4.  What's your favorite color? I'll give you ONE guess....don't cheat and look at my font color.  LOL! 5.  What's your favorite summer movie? Well, I have only seen Indiana Jones so far this year.  I hope it's not my favorite movie.  It was ok.

1. For your wls journey, what has been the most difficult hurdle? How did you cross it? Planning financially to be off work that long.. saved and scrimped. Also getting over the fear that I was going to be in the 1% that has complications. So far.. so good!

2. What are your kids names, and why did you choose them? I only have fur babies thus far in life.. 3 dogs.. their names are Gin, Tonic, and Roxy. We have cats too, but I didn't name any of them.

3. How much was gas when you first started driving? Uhh.. it was 1994.. I don't remember. Wow, that makes me feel old. I shared a car with my dad, so he usually paid for it. I worked in a gas station all during high school too! Haha. 

4. Whats your favorite color? PINK!! I have pink cellphones, a pink computer, and just recently.. some awesome pink ear bud headphones. ALL PINK all the time. Haha.

5. Whats your favorite summer movie? Anything playing at the drive-in that is in Muskegon!
