I wanted to have a special nickname for Daniel, in order to find one I asked him if he were a city which would he be. He thought about it for a few minutes and said "Denver". I asked why, because that's what I do. He said it's a city you don't hear anything bad about, lots of sunshine and they like their beer. I thought it sounded right on.
We looked at an overview for the city, it said this - Embodies many diverse cultures and influences. Has some of the best beer in the country, yet they do not overindulge. Active lifestyle, an abundance of sunshine. Denver has a lust for life. Combines the culture and fun of a major city with a spirit of outdoor adventure. That is so Daniel.
He in turn asked me what city I would be. I had no idea... but something funky, yet quiet. I like to have fun, but I'm a good girl. He said "Austin".
We looked it up and it sounded solid - An Austin overview summed me up like this - A city with a heart and with a soul. Cosmopolitan, yet unpretentious. Quirky and far from ordinary. Trade in suits for something a bit more casual. Pretty much Andrea.
Then Daniel went and ruined my fun by finding a test you can take that will tell you what city you are. According to them I am New York. And he is Cleveland. Whatever. I like our hand-picked ones better. Now, I have my nickname for him - Denver. I think it's funny that we picked cities that start with the letter of our first name.
So, if you could pick a city that best describes you what would it be? And don't take one of those silly tests - you know you best!

how neat that the cities you picked actually did describe both of your personalities - and that they both started with the same letters of your names! LOL
I have no idea what city would describe me, will have to think on this one!
Neat idea!
I wouldn't have a clue what city would describe me.
I think that is so neat! I love you you guys picked out those cities that actually did describe you without even realizing it! :)
My girlfriends would say Los Angeles......maybe a couple of years ago. I'm more humble now. I would say Gatlinburg.....calm, soothing, in love, content.
Great post Austin.
You guys are too funny! I love how creative your whole family is :) THat must have been fun to think about, I have know idea what city I would be. Sam and I will have to talk this one over :)
It's funny because I actually have taken one of those tests and It came out Austin for me but, if I were to pick for myself it would probably be New York or Seattle.
Cute post.
Hmmm...I did score as Austin, although I have never appreciated that city. Here's what the test says about Austin:
"A little bit country, a little bit rock and roll.
You're totally weird and very proud of it.
Artistic and freaky, you still seem to fit in... in your own strange way."
I think it really does describe me!
So creative... I love it!
I've always said Austin had me... I was born there but only lived there for 3 years. There's just something about Austin.
You too are so cute! I love to see moms & dads in love... it's the best!
That is funny that you guys ended up with cities that actually describe you. You're right, you know you best!
I don't think I would be a city though, I'm too reserved for city I think, lol.
You are so cute and creative! The cities you guys picked seem like they would fit you guys well.
What cities would your kids be?
I love this idea although I have no idea what city I would be, but Seth and I have an 19 hours road trip tomorrow so I'll let ya know what we decide.
Ok, This was our dinner conversation tonight. Hubby and daughter both said that I'm New York...busy, full of life, interesting, never sleeps (unless you give me migraine meds). I chose Butte, Montana for hubby..didn't look up what the internet says, but I think rugged, outdoor, go at your own pace kinda style. For our 15 yr old daughter we decided on New Orleans...diverse, energetic, and after doing mission work there on 3 different occasions it's in her blood!! Unfortunately our son was at basketball practice tonight and missed out on the fun! We'll get him tomorrow!! Thanks for the lively dinner discussion!!!
