*Tell us a little about your family.<\/strong> I have been married to my husband Billy for ten years. We have two amazing boys- Garrett (6) and Lance (4). We also have a dog and a new puppy. *What is your favorite food?<\/strong> Mustard. Seriously. Okay, for even more fun, here are Amanda’s kits. Normally we show you three. Today we are going to see all of the kits that I have in my external hard drive. \ud83d\ude42 {Insert fan girl sigh here.} (Sometime soon I hope return to my facade of professional… I am not making promises though)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n *note* Hi all this is Ginger putting a little note on Jen’s post \ud83d\ude42 One of my CT pointed out to me that in the blog reader there was a headline that said “Amanda interview is scheduled and “waiting for her if she ever turns in her LO”. This in NO way was met to be offensives!! I hope no one took it that way!! Jen (as you can tell) is a huge fan of Amanda, she actually IMed me the day she got a response from Amanda- freaking out, sooo excited!! Jen wrote up the interview and was anxiously awaiting the arrival of Amanda’s LO. She wrote that little headline as a silly joke…. in her, true to form, rye sense of humor. I hope you enjoy the interview \ud83d\ude42 And that no one has ruffeled feathers.
