A Little Blog Party Fun

I've been feeling a little lonely in blogland lately, and a little bit heavy with the demands of this life. So...I thought I'd lighten things up with a little fun Blog Parade! Thanks Abigail!

1. What's your favorite time of the day, and why?

I like the evening, after dinner when everyone's bellies are full and satisfied. The day is winding down, and we've settled in to enjoy the peace and quiet (or raucous laughter) of home.

2. If health wasn't an issue, what food could you live off of?

Although, I have a fondness for most things chocolate, it has to be Doritos...hands down. I've never met a Dorito I didn't like!

3. If you could have one wish granted (besides wishing for more wishes), what would it be?

Hmmmm, I think I wish that I could do ministry work full time.

4. What's one thing that you get teased about a lot?

In a house full of boys, I am teased a lot about everything! Let's see...my girly golf swing...my forgetfulness? I suppose I get teased (sometimes lovingly and sometimes in annoyance) for being late. I'm working on that!

5. If you could choose one movie, book, or TV show to spend your life in, which would you pick? What type of character would you be?

I love Johnny and June at the end of the movie Walk the Line...not the parts full of turmoil or all the mistakes they made...but the end, when they are ministering to the prisoners. Actually, the movie doesn't show them singing gospel music, but they did that. What I love about Johnny and June wasn't so much depicted in the movie, as in their real lives. I love their story of redemption and love...not so much they way they started out...but the way they ended up. Johnny became a Christian, and had a heart for the lost. (Of course, I would be June and Tim would be Johnny Cash...and we'd be singing about Jesus! Hey, it's my fantasy, right? I can make up the rules!) I'd love to be able to minister to others through music with my husband. In some ways, we are already being allowed to do that. So, who knows? (By the way, my love for Johnny and June is probably another thing close friends tease me about!)

6. If you could have one talent that you don't already have, what would it be?

I'd love to play the piano.

7.If money were no object, where would you go on vacation?

Somewhere warm with lots of sunshine...a beautiful beach on the ocean...and lots of golf courses. Maybe Disneyworld, too. I think that would keep everyone in our family happy!

8. If you were an awesome singer, which genre would you sing?

While I'm not an awesome singer by any means, I do love to sing...especially with my husband who is just bravely learning to sing along with his wonderful guitar playing. We like folksy-rock music...with Christian lyrics, of course.

Like this...(my husband and I singing This Little Light of Mine during church worship)




9. If you could have a $10,000 shopping spree to one store, what would it be?

Home Depot...to purchase new carpet and flooring, paint, and other remodeling items.
Guitar Center...to purchase music equipment

10. If you could live in any point in time, when would it be?

Don't laugh, but sometimes I'd like to live in the '50's. I'd like to stay home and focus on my family, rather than working outside the home. And, I would love to wear pretty dresses everyday. But, I would miss the internet! Now is good...and I suppose someday I could stay home...and maybe even wear pretty dresses in the time we're living in! =)

11. If every outfit in your wardrobe had to be one color, what would it be?

My color loves vary...so hard to choose just one. Maybe turquoise right now? Other times, it could be fuchsia...and I always like a lot of black!

12. If you were one of the seven dwarves, which one would you be?
(Doc, Grumpy, Sneezy, Sleepy, Bashful, Happy, or Dopey)

Lately...Sleepy! But, most of the time...Happy!

13. What's the last album you listened to?

Stephen Curtis Chapman - Beauty Will Rise

14. What's something we'd be surprised to know about you?

When I was a little girl, I wanted to be a missionary, an actress, a writer, or a political journalist! =)
