MilSpouse Friday Fill-in #9

A long marriage is two people trying to dance a duet and two solos at the same time.

(please feel free to use this!)

I love learning more about my fellow MilSpouse bloggers. So I created a weekly meme. Each week, I’ll post a list of questions on Thursday (so you can have your blog ready on Friday). Come back here on Friday (like today!) and enter your blog post into Mr. Linky below so others know who else participated and we can all visit other blogs. Please leave a comment too! And please feel free to use the button above!

(Please forgive me if I can’t get to visit everyone’s blogs the next few weeks. I am having a hard time accessing my own blog from the Army Internet!)

I was going to feature one question suggested by MFF participants each week, but since you all came up with such great questions last week, I’m going to have to do more than one a week! This week’s questions are:

1. If you could be a fugitive from the law for whatever reason, what would your crime be? (from It’s a Hooah Life)

Right now, it’d probably be failure to stop. As in failure to stop at a sign, to smell the roses, to take a breath, etc.

2. How long do you think you will be a military family? (from Julie the Army Wife)

Minimum will be another nine years. If Huzzy goes LDO, it’ll be probably 11-14 minimum. And if I decide to go active after he retires, then it’ll probably be another 10-15 after that!

3. What’s your favorite recipe? (from Keep Calm and Soldier On)

I have a lot of favorite recipes. You can find many of them on my Recipe page!

4. What would you want your last five words to be when you leave this life? (from My Goal is Simple)

Holy crap life was awesome!

5. Where do you hope to retire? (from Pennies from Heaven)

Right now, we are really wanted to retire in the Pacific Northwest. Specifically Western Washington (right where we are). However, we will check out Oregon, too, before we decide! But that’s a loooong way off.

Please don’t forget to add your blog link to Mr. Linky below by clicking on it. But also if you are not participating in MilSpouse Friday Fill-In this week, please do not put your link on there… I will remove it. It is unfair to others who do participate.

I love your last 5 words!! Cracks me up!!
Sarah | August 20, 2010 at 02:34

Thanks for hosting these! Lots of fun, even if it does make me think before the coffee has fully kicked in.

Another Oregon lover!! Well, that’s my home state…and I love being Tour Guide Barbie whenever I can. If you ever need ideas or have questions of what to do, just shoot me an email!

I’m so glad to be (coming) back to the West Coast. Although CA isn’t OR or WA, it’s more home than VA.

These questions were big thinkin’ questions.
Chelle | August 20, 2010 at 05:23

I love Oregon, sadly I doubt we’ll be retiring there unless Dirt Diver gives up the hopes of wanting to farm. But who knows.

I like Oregon too! I just watched Rachel Ray in Oregon on $40 a Day and wanted to go there again… really, I think I just want to be out of Georgia
Yummy Mummy | August 20, 2010 at 06:10

Stonewall loves Washington. I know he’s be happy retiring there.
Mowenackie | August 20, 2010 at 07:17

I have trouble “stopping”, too. It’s a skill I desperately need to acquire if I want to make it to retirement!
Megan | August 20, 2010 at 07:42

Haha I like your last words!
Niki @ Ambitious Gurl | August 20, 2010 at 07:47

Your last words are awesome. I will definitely go look at your recipe page. I am always looking for new ones to try.

Have a great friday!

If you need any more questions I received some great ones for my giveaway (which you should totally enter). Let me know and I can send them your way! And I LOVE your answer for #4!

I think this is a great way to meet fellow Military Spouses and fellow bloggers. Awesome!
Rebecca | August 20, 2010 at 09:42

Hi, I’m visiting from Julie the Army Wife’s blog. It’s great to see so many new blogs to visit, thanks for hosting this.
Amber | August 20, 2010 at 09:42

I love your first answer. We all need to remember to slow down once in a while.
silver star | August 20, 2010 at 09:56

Good answers!
Meaghan | August 20, 2010 at 10:57

Nice variety of questions this week!
Allison W. | August 20, 2010 at 13:09

I think we may have just created a new cookbook….78 mrlinky’s and counting!!
JhonaO | August 20, 2010 at 14:53

Love this! I so enjoy reading everyone’s answers. A cookbook is a great idea:) Your last words rock!
Hilary | August 20, 2010 at 17:49

Pacific Northwest would be a nice place to retire! I’ve never been there but have heard it is BE-A-utiful
Lacey | August 20, 2010 at 21:40

I’ve never been to Oregon, so I take it, it is worth visiting?
Kristine | August 21, 2010 at 19:41

Hi! I enjoyed looking through your recipes. I have also enjoyed linking up with you for Milspouse Friday Fill-In. Enjoy the rest of your day. (c:
