What a sunshine...

Jessica over at Before the I Do’s passed the Sunshine Award to me.

Jessica, you are just amazing. This award was the cherry on top of my week. J 

When you receive the Sunshine Award you have the privilege (yes, peoples, answering these questions is a privilege ;) to answer these fun and amazing questions.

Are you ready for my answers?... Well, here we go!

Favorite Color:

Well, red has always been the color I have told people until a few years ago.  When someone asked what my favorite color was, I would always answer, “Red.” But now, it is definitely pink. And it is even better if the colors pink and brown come together. I have even thought about my wedding colors being hot pink and brown someday….interesting, huh? Yeah, I love it.

Favorite Animal:

A horse. Growing up with them would automatically make them my favorite….yup, a horse. Cows are pretty gross cool too, and we would love to have some.  Maybe after we buy a hundred more acres of land… (yeah, that’s not going to happen anytime soon.)  Seriously though, I would love to have cows. Living on a ranch has been a dream of mine…maybe someday.

Favorite Number:

It changes everyday. It depends on what day it is and what mood I’m in. J Most of the time, it is the number 20. Why? Who knows…

 Favorite Non-alcoholic drink:
 

I have really fallen in love with the Sobe lifewater’s. Ever since I stopped drinking carbonated drinks, I have really taken a liking to the things. Not to mention, they have a variety of amazing flavors. (Yes, I just made a sales pitch for you, Sobe. You’re very welcome.)

Facebook or Twitter:

Neither. Know why? Because I have neither one of them! Yes, I consider myself a free bird. ;)

My Passion:

It depends on what you mean…can school be my passion? Because right now, that’s pretty much what consumes my life. ;)

Getting or Giving Presents:

I do not want to sound like I am tooting my own horn, but I LOVE to give presents. Giving makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. But, hey, who doesn’t like receiving a gift from someone else every now and then? :D

Favorite Pattern:

Hands down, no questions asked…POLKA-DOTS!!!!!!!

Favorite Day of the Week:

I really love every day. I count every day as a gift from God and we need to live it like it is our last one. I mean, who doesn’t like 8:00 a.m. work traffic on a Tuesday morning?….it’s a blessing too, believe it or not.

Favorite Flower:

Hmmmm, probably a daisy or a sunflower…my choice could change tomorrow....

 Now to pass it off to 5 other bloggers....

Eleven Things About Me:

1. The part of the office I work in consists of all women....yeah, too much fun. ;D

2. I absolutely hate writing in cursive.

3. My family went on a white water rafting trip and I was throw out of the raft. When I was supposed to come up for air, instead of breaking the surface, my hands hit the bottom of the raft. Yeah. Not good. A few seconds later, I finally broke surface to hear my mom screaming my name from the raft. That was a scary day. :/

4. I could spend my whole paycheck at Bass Pro Shops.

5. I love polka dots. I have a polka dot purse, phone cover, and my TOMS even have polka dots on them. ;D

6. I have a bracelet that a cousin gave to me that I wear 24/7. Never take it off.

7. I was homeschooled and was the only graduate in my high school class. The ceremony was at home and we had ice cream with all the toppings. :)

8. I broke my collar bone by slipping on a maple leaf while playing kick ball when I was 6 years old.

9. I have never had a Facebook account.

10. I have a horse named Spooky. And believe it or not, he does live up to his name sometimes. ;)

11. Diet Coke is my favorite drink, but have not had it in weeks. (I'm trying to stop drinking carbonated drinks.)



Questions For Me:

1. If you were going to learn a foreign language, which would you choose?
Probably Spanish. I took two years of it in high school. But, to tell you the truth, I don't think any of it stuck. ;P

2. Would you generally rather read a book, listen to music, or watch a movie?
Ummmm, can you do all of the above?....;) It totally depends on where I am and what the weather is like outside. If I'm at home and it is raining outside, I like to curl up and watch a movie or read a book. When it's really nice outside, I like to go out and sit in the swing and read my book. If I'm traveling, I mostly listen to music. :)

3. If you could learn any skill, what would it be?
Learn to play the mandolin or guitar...or maybe learn to ride a dirt bike professionally (haha! I know, crazy).

4. When you go to a restaurant, do you usually try something new or get the same thing each time?
I normally get the same thing each time until I am burned out on it. ;) Then, I broaden my horizons with something different on the menu.

5. What's your favorite book in the Bible?
Ruth

6. What's something you never leave the house without?
My purse?......my camera and cell phone are probably the biggies. I keep a little Kodak in my purse all the time. Hey, who knows when you might have a Kodak moment? ;)

7. You have a prepaid airline ticket to anywhere in the world. Where do you go?
Paris, France!!!

8. Rice, potatoes, or bread?
Bread...homemade wheat bread fresh from the oven, preferably.

9. How tall are you?
5 feet 3 inches....I'm not short, I'm just Fun Size.

10. What is one of your dreams for the future?
Get married, have lots of babies, and be a stay-at-home wife and mommy. :)

11. What is your favorite song? What does it make you think of?
Waiting Room by Jonny Diaz. Its lets me know that God is in control, and that in His perfect timing He will say..."Yes!"
