The Beautiful Blogger Award

Thanks so much to Khloe Grace, who gave me the Beautiful Blog Award!!! She has a really cool blog you can check out HERE.

Here are the five rules that go along with accepting this award:

1. Thank the blogger who awarded you

2. Answer the ten questions he/she asked

3. Nominate ten bloggers to receive the award

4. Ask them ten questions

5. Let them know they've been awarded

 

I am more than happy to oblige.

1. Have you ever left the country?  If so, where did you go and why?

Yes. When I was three, my parents took me to Dublin, Ireland. It was the first and only time I've been on a plane, and while I don't remember much, we do have some pictures that can help spark memories. I've also been to the Caribbean.

 

2. Have you read the Hunger Games?  What are your thoughts on it?

Yes, all of them, several times. It's a really sad storyline, but I enjoyed reading the books immensely. I love that the main theme is hope and that that's the big idea even through all the grotesqueness of the political system.

 

3. Who is your favorite U.S. president?

I'm not really up on my politics, so I'm not really apt to answer this question. I'm going to go with Teddy Roosevelt because he was the POTUS in the Kit Kittredge American Girl books, and I loved those :) . (I told you I wasn't up on my politics...) Ask me again in a couple years when I know more about politics and government.

 

4. What is your favorite song... or top three if you can't decide?

Emily (It's Love) by Francesca Battistelli

Carolina In My Mind by James Taylor

American Honey by Lady Antebellum

*They will probably change in a few months, just to warn you!

 

5. What is one of your biggest life goals?

Complete my undergrad.

 

6. What is one of the most embarrassing things that has happened to you?

I get embarrassed when I remember the social/moral mistakes I've made in the past. But I don't think God really wants us to feel that way-- if it's an important mistake, we have to go to him about it, and if it's not we have to remember humility and move on! :) A difficult lesson, but worth it...

 

7. Do you follow sports?  If so, what sport and what is your favorite team?

I don't really follow sports, per se, but I like watching football with my dad. The New York Giants are my favorite team.

 

8. Have you ever attended a dance?  If so, what was it for?

Like at school? I went to a costume dance in seventh grade but it wasn't that fun and I haven't been to another. Anyway, I'm homeschooled now, and I haven't gone to a home-school/co-op dance.

 

9. Do you have a job?

While I'm not technically old enough to work, my church does pay me to babysit for some of the women's small groups.

 

10. When was the last time you saw a movie in the theater?  What was it?

A couple weeks ago I went with a friend to see God's Not Dead. It was a good movie, and I love to support the Christian film industry!

 

My Questions:
1. What was your hardest subject in school?
2. Do you play an instrument, and if so, which one?
3. What is your favorite color? And you have to pick ONE. No cop-outs.

4. Flip-flops or boots?

5. Football, soccer, or tennis?

6. Have you ever taken a self-defense course?

7. What is one weak area of your life that you are working to improve?
8. Bible passage you are loving right now?

9. How would you describe your personal style?
10. What's your favorite way to work out? Again, no cop-outs. :)
