How long have you been with your SO? How did you meet? 20 years. We met at a New Year's Eve party. What's your favorite holiday movie? I second moreorless . Definitely White Christmas. What's your favorite kind of cookie? I can't eat cookies. And GF cookies are gross. Best vacation you have ever been on? I LOVED Italy and the South of France. Belgium too. I don't know. I'll just go with Europe in general. Dream vacation? Being able to take DD somewhere when she's older. Not sure where. Maybe Ireland or New Zealand. Favorite ice cream flavor? I worked for Ben and Jerry's as a student so I sort of dislike all ice cream. Plus I can't eat the good flavours anyways:( Have you read anything good lately? Probably. I read constantly. I liked the World Without End series. I'm working my way through Outlander now. I'm one of those people that read the book instead of watching the movie or the show. Snow: love it or hate it? I love snow. But only when I can watch it fall from inside my warm house. I'm a summer girl.

How long have you been with your SO? How did you meet? Been together 1.5 years. Met at work.
What’s your favorite holiday movie? Christmas vacation.. I grew up watching this every year.
What’s your favorite kind of cookie? Warm chocolate chip, preferably with vanilla ice cream
Best vacation you have ever been on? Dream vacation? SO and I went to Maryland last year for Christmas to spend time with his family. That was really the trip where I realized that I was in love with him. It was just an amazing trip together. I’ve also been to Hawaii several years ago.. I would say that’s high on my list of dream vacation. Anywhere tropical and beautiful where I can relax on the beach and go hiking would be perfect.
Favorite ice cream flavor? Rocky road
Have you read anything good lately? I’ve been into Tana French books lately. I’ve been reading a lot of mysteries.
Snow: love it or hate it? Love it! I’m from central TX (so we NEVER got snow) but now live in OK so we get a little bit. It’s magical to me. I could do without ice though.

How long have you been with your SO? How did you meet? A little over three years. I've known various members of his family since I was a kid and our paths have crossed many times. What's your favorite holiday movie? I don't really like holiday movies. Maybe that belongs in the UO thread. What's your favorite kind of cookie? Hmm, this is tough. Probably sugar cookies. Best vacation you have ever been on? Dream vacation? Best would be Maui. I would love to go back someday. Dream vacation is anywhere tropical. Favorite ice cream flavor? Not a huge ice cream fan, but I do like chocolate chip cookie dough. Have you read anything good lately? I haven't really read anything in a while. I should probably fix that. Snow: love it or hate it? HATE. I despise the cold. I live in western NY and we get slammed with snow every year and I can't stand it. I would move somewhere warmer if I could.

Yay, I’ll play! How long have you been with your SO? How did you meet? Together like 13 and married 8. We met doing a musical theatre group in college. What's your favorite holiday movie?A Christmas Story!!! What's your favorite kind of cookie? +1 to beenthere -white chocolate macadamia. Though it’s close with our family recipie Christmas cutouts, which I LOOOOOOVE Best vacation you have ever been on? Dream vacation? DC when I was in middle school. I was into history and it was the perfect age to go. Also Ireland for a week with DH in college, when I was studying abroad. Dream vacay - gosh I honestly don’t know. Since I studied abroad I got to fill a lot of my travel bug then and I’m not a super motivated traveler at this point. I’m excited to take family vacations with my kids as they get older since I have so many awesome memories from my family vacations as a kid. Favorite ice cream flavor? Black raspberry choc chunk from Graeters. (Has to be specifically that brand - they’re based in Ohio and there’s nothing like it) Have you read anything good lately? Yes, I’m in a super awesome book club with some lit-enthusiastic ladies. We try to read books by women and POC and explore different voices so I’m always excited to share the recs. We just finished The Great Believers by Rebecca Makkai (sp?) and it was incredible. It’s about the gay community dealing with the new AIDS epidemic in the 80’s so a little sad but it’s beautifully written with really three-dimensional and complex characters. Snow: love it or hate it? Love, until mid-Jan, then over it. Unfortunately we usually have it through March....

What's your favorite holiday movie? The Preacher's Wife with Denzel Washington and Whitney Houston!
What's your favorite kind of cookie? M&M cookies from whole foods
Best vacation you have ever been on? Dream vacation? That's tough. First time we took our boys to the beach was pretty fun because they were so excited! But best ever was probably Antigua with DH. Dream vacation is hitting as many of the national parks as we can on an epic road trip.
Favorite ice cream flavor? mint chocolate chip
Have you read anything good lately? Outside of what I read for work, not really but I like sci-fi and fantasy a lot
Snow: love it or hate it? Well, I live in the south, so when it snows here it's pretty awesome, but when I lived in a snow climate, I was cool with it for about 24 hours.

musicallyinclined I met a woman and her daughter a couple of summers ago who were in the middle of a National Parks road trip. The daughter was 5 or 6 and they both said it was the best thing ever. I spend the summer every year on a boat with DD at a National Park (it's an island up North) and would LOVE to take her on a tour when she's a bit older.

How long have you been with your SO? How did you meet? A: We've been together 9 years. We lived on the same floor in university residence. What's your favorite holiday movie? A: I collect old kids holiday movies: the cartoon Grinch, claymation Rudolph & Santa Claus, & the Life & Adventures of Santa Claus. What's your favorite kind of cookie? A: Chocolate chip cookie... dough. Best vacation you have ever been on? Dream vacation? A: Part one of our honeymoon near Halifax, Nova Scotia. We never wanted to leave Oceanside Resort and Nova Scotia. Part Two of the road trip in inland Maine was lame. Favorite ice cream flavor? A: Cookie Dough. I can only eat it right now since I'm gluten-ing up for my blood test. Snow: love it or hate it? A: It has its place. I like having 4 seasons, but I dislike the accompanying cold that makes the wind hurt my face.
ETA: Have you read anything good lately? A: I've been reading books for DONA (doula) certification and The Birth Partner was awesome! I recommend to any pregnant woman or SO of a pregnant woman who likes to read (it's lengthy, unless you skim by topic). Postpartum depression and anxiety: A self-help guide for mothers was really eye opening too, I recommend it for anyone at risk for PPMD.

How long have you been with your SO? How did you meet? We've been together for 12 years, married for 8. We met through a Christian youth organization we were a part of back then.
What's your favorite holiday movie? Hmm excellent question. Since we only watch them once a year, I have several. I love Home Alone and A Christmas Story a lot.
What's your favorite kind of cookie? Depends on my mood, as with all things food! Right now, I could go for some really good sugar cookies.
Best vacation you have ever been on? Dream vacation? Best? Honestly, probably my honeymoon. We went to #nerdalert DisneyWorld and Harry Potter World and then we went on the Disney cruise to the Bahamas, which was surprisingly awesome for a couple with no kids at the time. I'd do it again. I really want to do some traveling around Europe someday. That would be awesome.
Favorite ice cream flavor? Lately, I've been really digging cookies n cream ice cream.
Have you read anything good lately? Over the summer I read The Good Wife and liked it enough to finish it! I'm currently in the middle of reading the Librarian of Auschwitz and it's very good so far.
Snow: love it or hate it? I love it at first but by the end of winter, I'm ready for it to never snow again.
