Thanks so much to Alison and Kenny from A & K Wanderlusts for nominating our blog for the Liebster Award! This has been a great opportunity to get to know other bloggers in the community, and it was really fun answering the questions you gave us! At the end of this post we’ll be tagging some of YOU and give you all new questions to answer. Let’s get started!

Let’s get to the Questions!

1. If you could travel back in time to one particular moment, what would it be?
E: I’d like to see the asteroid responsible for slamming into the Earth and eventually creating the moon.
R: MLK Jr’s famous speech on the steps of the Abe Lincoln memorial.

2. If you had to fast forward to a point in your future for 10 minutes, what would it be?
E: I’d like to see the last ten minutes of my life.
R: Probably the birth of my first child! Can’t wait.

3. You find $1,000 lying on the street. What’s the first thing you would do?
E: Look around.
R: If it was that much, I’d look around and try to find the owner.

4. Beach or mountains? (And you can’t say a mountain overlooking a beach, which is my go-to answer for this one).
E: Mountains!
R: Definitely mountains!

5. What is one trait that you are constantly improving upon?
E: Being more social.
R: Talking less, listening more.

6. What food could you simply not live without?
E: Burritos. Or, more specifically, refried beans.
R: There’s honestly nothing I love THAT much, because I like pretty much everything. But if I had to choose–bread.

7. What is your most embarrassing moment? (Well, the most embarrassing moment you’re willing to share).
E: The first time I tried to kiss my wife, I missed.
R: Most recently, I was catching up with one of my best friends from high school and said something about how I’m surprised neither of us had kids yet, when she actually had a kid several years ago!! Yikes. She was gracious about it thankfully. I’ve been away for quite a while.

8. How would your best friend describe you in one sentence?
E: “I don’t know.” ..really, I asked.
R: “You’re super caring.”

9. What destination is on the top of your travel list?
E: The MOON. Here on Earth, though, I want to travel the middle east.
R: Middle East and North Africa hands down. I want Evan to experience and fall in love with Morocco the way I did.

10. When was the last time you laughed so hard you cried?
E: I saw a picture of a Sloth in a space suit.
R: An inappropriate but hilarious card played in Cards against humanity.

11. Describe your perfect day.
E: It’s Spring time and I’m in the mountains of North Carolina with my wife.
R: Going for a drive with Evan in the mountains of NC when the leaves are changing. Hanging out at our favorite coffee shop where we first met, maybe going to hear some bluegrass in the park, and eating subs from Jimmy Johns while laying in the grass.
