Amanda's Questions

1) What is the story behind your blogs name? Shameful moment here folks. I originally saw the name when living in Raleigh. It was the name of a lingerie store and I thought what a great name that would be for a future hunter mare! It's stuck around, clearly.

2) If you are married, what song did you dance to at your wedding? If you aren't married, what song would you pick? I am not married and I am honestly not sure what I would pick as a first dance song. I have a few in mind but I'll keep it secret until that day comes ;)

3) What is your most embarrassing story? My worst blonde moment of all time - Drumroll please: I was standing in the driveway with my dad and my dad pointed out that at the top of one of my moms tires someone must have hit a curb because there was a piece of rubber that was slightly cut and coming off. You know what I said? That must have been a high curb. As soon as the words left my mouth (not kidding!) I thought wow Hanna, you really didn't think that one through did you. Fail.

4) When do you feel most confident? Hmm...this is tough. It depends on the day and the moment but in general I'd have to say either my drive to keep going and/or when I'm riding real well.

5) What is something you are proud of? I am proud of so many things! A major one is that I have become so much more adaptable when it comes to change. I hated change - not that I am particularly fond of it now, but I have become so much better at excepting it faster and adapting to new situations well.

6) What are your three favorite stores to shop? Sephora, nordstroms (online), and lululemon

7) What is something you like to splurge on? Oh boy...makeup, workout gear, shoes, horse stuff, my nails, etc, etc.

8) What is something about you that people would be surprised to learn? That I am not shy. Everyone thinks that I am shy because I don't just butt into conversations when I do not know what is going on and I am not into gossip. I prefer to listen to what people have to say but that does not make me a shy person! I can talk your ear off if given the chance!

9) What is the first blog you ever read? 

www.CityGirlMeetsCountryBoy.com

10) What are some of your goals? A major one is to keep on going in order to obtain a master degree as a nurse. I know it will take me a while but it'll be worth it. To ride competitively again (this may include another horse in the near-ish future *hint hint mom :)*).

11) What is your go-to meal to cook? Hands down mexican lasagna!
