Laura @ Life Happens tagged me & Krystal @ Well, This is Growing Up tagged me. These are two of my very favorite bloggers. Laura is a great mom & photographer & she writes very honestly. I love that. Krystal is engaged & her wedding is just around the corner! She is funny & cute & I can't wait till she gets to be a newlywed! I wish her & her fiance the best!! Go see their blogs. You will love them. :)
So i'm supposed to answer the questions they asked, tag some people & ask whoever i tag whatever i want! Here we go...
Questions from Laura:
1. What do you want to be when you grow up?
A stay-at-home mom. And a homeowner. ;)
2. Are you afraid to die?
I'm not afraid of actually dying because i am a Christian. I can't wait to see Jesus face-to-face & give Him a big hug! :) However, he has given me so much on earth & i want to enjoy it a bit longer! I want to see what else He has in store for me & my husband. Today we were talking about how awful it is for people to lose their spouse (through death or divorce) & i actually got teary-eyed just thinking about losing Brad. i pray we both die at the same time when we are 99 years old!! While we are sleeping!
3. What is your favorite color?
I think i like them all. I have always loved every shade of blue. Royal, baby, teal, aqua, you name it, i love it. I used to hate purple but it is growing on me. I used to think pink was "okay" but i like it more & more. Yeah, i think i like all colors. :) But green & blue are my favorites. And red. Ha!
4. What was your favorite vacation?
Our honeymoon - duh! Cruise to the Carribbean. It was lovely. Relaxing. Beautiful!
5. A favorite childhood memory?
Selling lemonade in our neighborhood. We had our own lemonade stand. I also remember our slip & slide!
6. A family tradition you wish to carry on?
i like our christmas get-togethers...It's just the 6 of us. We open gifts, put on christmas music (or a christmas movie), & have appetizers & desserts. It's a lot of fun!
7. Your favorite book?
Redeeming Love, by Francine Rivers. If you haven't read it, you need to!!
Now, questions from Krystal:
1. How do you resolve conflict in your life?
This kind of depends on the situation. If it is a conflict with a person, i try to talk to them about it. If it is my husband, we will talk it out for however long it takes...until we are both okay. If it is a friend, i will try to talk to them about it. We may have to agree to disagree. If it is not a relationship issue...well, i'm not sure! It just depends on what it is. But always through communication - whether with a person or with God. :)
2. Is the glass half full or half empty?
Depends on my mood. ;)
3. If you could tell a certain someone something, what would it be? (No names, please.)
Ah, there are so many things i could tell so many someones, but what good would it do?! They either wouldn't listen & continue to live life as they please or i would have been wrong to tell them in the first place... acting out of anger or arrogance & not love. I'll leave this one blank. :)
4. Have you ever volunteered? If so, what for?
I volunteered for about 9 years as a youth leader in my church. I volunteered at a home for troubled teen girls with some friends of mine (we wrote & taught them bible studies once a week for about 7 years.) I volunteer at the theatre every time i stage manage or perform.
5. Do you keep a personal journal or is blogger your journal?
Blogger is my journal. If i have something too personal to say, i usually just talk to my husband or a good friend about it or email my bbff Laura. :) Before most of us had internet, i wrote in journals - i have a bin full of them under my bed... my friend ali gave me one for my birthday when i turned ten... & that is when i started writing in them! I wrote in them until i was in my mid-twenties. I'm kind of sad that i don't anymore.
6. What is your most embarrassing moment?
I will say this as vaguely as possible, because in detail it is 10 times worse! & i can't believe i'm going to give as much detail as i am. For years i wouldn't even tell people this one as my most embarrassing moment because it was not even the "funny afterwards" kind of embarrassing! I was MORTIFIED!
But yeah - in high school, when i was a freshman & my sister was a senior...for some reason i decided to sleep on the couch in the den one night. And i thought her boyfriend had gone home, but he was still there. I thought everyone was sound asleep. So just as he walked through the den to leave, i was changing clothes... i will leave it at that! Yikes!
7. What are your Christmas traditions?
Usually my side of the family picks a day that we can all get together. It might be as early as December 20th & that is fine with me. It's good that way because then Brad & I don't have to choose which family we will have Christmas Eve/Day with. We are able to do Christmas Day with his family. We started this because Michelle was often in England for Christmas (visiting her best friend) & mom & dad often went to Mississippi for Christmas. Anyway, like i said above, as my favorite Christmas tradition, we have an evening (just mom, dad, me, brad, michelle & this year, Mike) with appetizers & desserts on the menu, we play games or watch a movie or listen to Christmas music & we open gifts. :) Fun times!
8. When you are having a bad day, what never fails to cheer you up?
Brad-Hugs. They are the best. They kind of look like this...
Well, that was fun! Now, i'm supposed to tag 8 people & ask them 8 questions. I am going to cheat & pick my favorite questions from above. I will also use some of my own. But they asked some really good ones! & i may not feel like coming up with new ones! Also, i'm going to try to tag people that i do not think have already been tagged in this game. If i tag you & you've already been tagged, just ignore me. :) Or do it twice. Whichever! And if i tagged you & you have not already been tagged - well, you still don't have to do this if you don't want to! Though it'd be fun to read your answers!!
