Monday Funday!

I haven't gone through all my pictures from the weekend yet, so I'm grateful that Callie tagged me with some other blogging fodder! I'll be back tomorrow with a recap of our weekend with the patriotic program!

One other thing of note: today is our 67th monthiversary! Happy monthiversary, Ryan! I have loved all our adventures, including being part of the church program with you. Thank you for making every single day so much fun. :)

Okay! Now on to today's blogging fun. I enjoy reading Callie's blog, and she did a fun post last week and tagged a handful of us with questions for our own posts. I'm using that today!

1. What is your favorite childhood memory?

I have to pick just one? That's not easy! I have a bunch! I think I'll go with the (way too brief) season when I had this adorable little chihuahua named Lassie. She was the best dog, and I loved her! Though I continue to take a fair amount of ribbing for naming a Chihuahua Lassie, I don't care. I'd name her that all over again!

2. If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be?

I'm not sure I have a dream location as far as city or state, but I would so dearly love to have a beautiful water view. So, you know: ocean, lake, river, retention pond...whatever!

3. What was the last book you read? 

I've been a bit of a slacker in the book department this summer, but the last book I read was Together Forever by Jody Hedlund. GREAT story, as always. Jody is amazing!

4. When you have so me spare time, what do you do with it (besides blogging of course). 

Scrapbooking! Pinteresting! Sleeping! Eating! Walks with Ryan! County tours! (Can you tell that I'm always excited about things that involve spare time?

5. With whom is your longest friendship?

I have two friendships that date back to story hour (before Kindergarten). One is with my friend Amber and the other is with Pat. He's the one we did the kidney walk with last weekend! I'm so thankful for these two! Both of them are very dear friends still to this day.

6. Favorite summer beverage?

It doesn't matter the season. It never changes.

7. If you had the opportunity to attend your own funeral, what would you hope to hear people say about you? 

You know, there's actually a song about this that I love! You can hear it here if you want, but the bottom line is that I hope people would say that I loved Jesus and others well!

8. How did you meet your spouse?

This is a hard one to answer, because we don't remember. We grew up in the same town and went to the same school (and church camp!) so we don't actually remember when we met. But many years later, we ended up at the same church, so that's how we really got to know each other.

9. Finish this sentence: "In high school, I could have been voted most likely to..."

Never make eye contact with anyone. I was PAINFULLY shy and awkward.

10. Tell us something we don't already know and wouldn't think to ask you. 

That's another toughie. I feel like I've told you almost everything! OH! Here's one. I used to have a guinea pig. When I was in third grade, we had a class guinea pig and right before spring break, she had a baby. Through the luck of the draw (or dumb luck, from my mom's perspective) I got to bring them both home to keep over spring break. I loved it so much that I ended up getting a guinea pig for my birthday!



So there you have it! Some Monday Funday for you!
