Wifely Steps

Triggered by Manila Mommy‘s getting to know you post, here’s my take on the questions. And just as she said, there’s a twist at the end! (Feel free to skip to the end!) Hopefully we get to know each other better. I’d love to learn more about YOU, dear friendly reader!

1. Where you named after someone? According to my folks, a beauty queen in the ’70s.
2. How did you name your blog? From my Mom’s Mother of the Bride speech! She said she saw me take my baby steps, now she’s about to see my wifely steps… Thanks Mama!

4. How long were you guys dating before you got married? 11 months. <3

15. What’s your silliest pet peeve? Mistaken use of “its” and “it’s” — I’m not sure it’s silly though!
