What is the best word to describe our family?

"Loving" - Steven

My neighborhood is a good place to raise a family because…

"it's quiet but close to parks, schools, and a city. We're also really close to a lot of family and our kids will grow up spending lots of time with cousins!" - Mike

If I could have dinner with anyone—dead or alive—I would pick...

"My husband- just like on our first date. He would bring fresh caught bass, I would home-make tortillas and salsa, and we would beer batter and fry the fish together. Brownies for dessert." - Audrey

If you had to pick a famous person to play you in a movie, who would it be?

"Liam Neeson" - Duncan

Favorite season and why?

"Although I like winter and spring, I prefer autumn even more. Apple cider and apple butter conjure up fond memories from childhood. The morning frosts promise winter and the potential for skiing. The shortening days mean I can stop worrying about outdoor projects and retreat inside. Of course, the changing leaves provide more variety of color than at any other point in the year." - Alex

Do you consider yourself religious or spiritual?

"Yes, i consider myself religious and it's important to me and our family" - Lorena Jiménez

If I could have dinner with anyone—dead or alive—I would pick...

"I would pick to have dinner with Marcus Aurelius. He became emperor after being adopted by the previous emperor who could not have child. There were many Roman emperors who could not bear child and would adopt an heir to the throne. But Marcus decided to make his biological son Comodus emperor which would end a time of peace for Rome." - Sean Scott

Complete the sentence, “I can’t live without……”

"Apart from my family (pets included!), I'd say music. For me, music is my go-to for whenever I need a spark of motivation or shift in mood. It is also something that Bob and I enjoy together. Though we don't always have the same taste in music, we love showing each other new bands and singing along to songs as we power through some housework or while we cook together." - Sam
