Question and Answer

In case you are new around here (or not) and you would like to get to know me a little better, here are a few questions I was asked to answer for your reading enjoyment from Gail @ Sophisticated Steps.  

Here you go!

1.  If you could live anywhere, where would it be?
This is a tough one- I'd love to live a lot of places.  Nashville would be fun, San Francisco is beautiful.  I'd love to spend some time living on a tropical island.  I'd also like to spend some time living in a (read: modernized) hut in Africa.  That would probably be more of a short-term living arrangement, but I would like to do it if I was doing mission work.


2.  What's the nicest thing that anyone has ever said to you (or complimented you on)?
The most recent thing was a teenage girl told me I talked like a princess.  Oh my goodness, I don't know about that, but I thought it was sweet.


3.  What's your biggest pet peeve?
When I walk into a dark room, flip the switch and it doesn't come on.  That is so annoying to me.  And people that complain all the time and are negative.  You know those people who have something bad to say about everybody or just life in general-  not the people I love to be around.


4.  What's your best and worst quality?
I think one of my good qualities is my generosity and thinking of others.  My worst is probably my impatience.  That is something I'm working on!


5.  Coffee or tea?  And what do you put in it?
Definitely coffee-  cream and sugar, please.


6.  Would you rather go out dancing or to a movie?
Well, that depends.  I like to dance at weddings but if you mean dancing at a club- no way!  One time in college I went to a club with some friends and I thought it was awful.  Cage dancers are not my thing!  In that case, I would much rather go to the movies.  Just call me MeMaw.


7.  What's your greatest accomplishment so far?  I'd have to say my sweet little family.  It is certainly a blessing.  There aren't too many people my age that have found an amazing husband and have an adorable child.  I'm also thankful for my education and the ability (by God's grace) to make some tough decisions that led me to where I am today.


8.  What is your biggest goal/dream?
This may sound too easy, but I would LOVE to be totally organized in my home and work life.  This includes also being totally debt free.  I'd like to be in really good shape and really healthy too.  Most importantly, I want to be a Godly wife that honors my husband and raise my children to be respectful and loving people.  I think being a respectable wife and mother is one of the highest callings.


9.  What is your favorite song?
 "How Great thou Art"  is my favorite.  It's just a classic and the words are beautiful.


10.  What is the messiest room in your house?
My closet and bathroom are definitely the messiest.  After I get ready in the morning it looks like a tornado just hit!


11.  Why did you start a blog?
I started my blog when I was a newlywed and pregnant with my first child.  I wanted to remember all these important times in our life.


I remember seeing this show on the Discovery Channel when I was younger about this person who couldn't live a normal life because she was obsessed with documenting everything in her journal. Of course that's extreme, but I remember thinking "wow, she won't ever forget anything!"  Well, blogging is my little version of that.  It's a great way for me to remember all these important or mundane things in our life.  I love it!


Here are my questions for a few of my blog friends:
1.  You've been forced to give up all but one item of makeup.  What is the ONE thing you have to keep?
2.  What is your favorite online store to shop?
3.  What book are you currently reading?
4.  What is your favorite vacation spot?
5.  If you could go back and choose a different career path what would it be?
6.  Do you have any hidden talent or something you are good at?
7.  What is playing on your ipod right now?
8.  List the places that you have visited from around the world.
9.  What is your favorite clothing store?
10.  What goals do you have for the next 5 years?

Please play!  I want to read your answers, but no worries if you can't:-)
