2. My favorite animal is a horse and always has been since I can remember.
3. I wrote my first complete story when I was eight. It was horrible. ;)
4. I like ice cream better than cake or cookies.
5. I've gone to Canada and Ethiopia...but only two states in the U.S. (Washington and Oregon)
6. My sister is reading over my shoulder and giving wry comments on my terrible grammar and spelling. ;) And emoticons.
7. I've been blogging for over two years.
8. I play three musical instruments: the piano, the flute, and the ukulele. :)
9. I'm extremely photogenic. (That means I actually smiled when a camera is pointed in my direction. :P)
10. I usually wear skirts, not jeans on an everyday basis.
11. The colors I wear most are black and gray. Despite my colorful personality. ;)

And...the questions!

1. What is your favorite movie?
WHAT???? ONLY ONE???? Ok, look...I'll narrow it down to three Satisfied?
Big Hero 6
The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe
The Giver
 

2. Favorite genre of books?
Interesting books. (a.k.a historical fiction and some fantasy)
 

3. Books that are releasing in 2016 you are looking forward to reading?
The Silent Blade by Jesseca Wheaton
The Last Ride by Mrs. Marlow
A book that my sister Sarah is writing that actually does not yet have a title. But it's going to be good. :)
 

4. If you could travel anywhere in the U.S., where would you go? 
Wisconsin!! (My oldest brother is doing seminary there.)
 

5. Do you play any instruments? 
The piano, the flute, and the ukulele. I own a slide whistle, but that hardly counts. ;)

6. What is your favorite classical song?
This changes all the time. But I always enjoy the songs in "Pictures at an Exhibition" by Mussorgsky.

7. Surprise! You've just been given a ticket to meet your favorite author! Who is it?
Does this mean I can go back in time? If so, I'd be on my way to meeting C. S. Lewis or L. M. Montgomery. If not, I'd probably either go to where Andrew Peterson is or meet Mrs. Marlow. I've already had to privilege of meeting two other favorite authors last year. ;)

8. Favorite outdoor activity?
Playing volleyball or other field games with friends from church, or just walking with a sibling and spending some one-on-one time with them. :)

9. Would you rather do laundry or clean the kitchen? (I know, I'm making you work ;P) 
Depends on how much laundry or how big a mess in the kitchen. Both are pretty equal in my mind. :)

10. What is you favorite book in the Bible and why is it your favorite?
Ok. WHY ask this question!!! It's SO HARD to answer! Here's a few of my favorites:
Proverbs: because of its practical, down-to-earth verses that you can easily apply to everyday life.
Psalms: They're just beautiful! Each is different from the others. Each a unique work of art. Who says "ancient man" was illiterate? ;)
Romans: If someone has any doubts about their belief in God, here's the book for them! Paul gives us a wonderful, logical look at our faith and why we should believe what we believe.
Ruth: A picture of how one can be faithful even when they have no apparent reason for it. God blesses those who trust in Him...even when they don't know Him!
Ester: God takes care of those who love Him. No matter how bad the situation might appear.
Philippians: Keep your mind pure. Fill it with God and nothing else will fit. Plus lots more that I'll never be able to fit into one blog post! ;)
And that's only a FEW. I could have given you WAY more, believe me!


11: Who is your favorite historical character and why? 
Other than Jesus I'm assuming? That's the easy answer. ;)
Oh my. Where do I even begin? There are so many I'll NEVER be able to limit myself to one. Maybe I'll just stick with the easy answer. ;)

 

Here's who I'm nominating:
YOU ALL! Have fun! ;) Don't worry, it's optional. :)

Hope you had fun reading my answers! Let me know if you're doing the tag and I'll drop by your blog and read your answers! :) And, knowing me, I'll end up commenting too. ;P
