The liebster

Well, I’ve never done anything like this before, but my blogging friend Samara called me to the challenge, and since I’m never one to back down from a challenge, let’s have at this.

The award is for up and coming bloggers with 200 followers or less.

11 Random facts about yours truly:

1. I am the oldest of seven {yes, SEVEN} kids
2. I am borderline-freakishly tall, 5’11” to be exact, and even grew an inch in the last school year as a freshman in college {as if finding pants wasn’t hard enough beforehand}
3. I am at least five minutes late to almost everything {it’s a terrible habit, but it’s incredibly hard to break}
4. I brush my teeth an excessive amount of times during the day {I love food, but hate when the taste of it lingers in my mouth after I’m done eating}
5. I am most definitely sticking with my English major this year {at least for now}
6. My writing often comes off as serious, but the truth is I’m usually anything but serious if you’d ever bump into me in the “real world” {& sarcasm is VERY heavy in my day to day dialogues}
7. I have the new Taylor Swift song stuck in my head {I had it on repeat at work all day yesterday; I’m sure my coworkers just love me}
8. I am a sucker for all of that happily ever after love stuff {I love love!} Yep, all of it. But especially chick flicks
9. Patience is a virtue I don’t have {but I’m working on it very hard, promise}
10. Jesus is my savior and God is my Father. {Hellooo God IS love. Remember me? Huge romantic? How could I not love Him?} I’m a Catholic born and raised and there really is nothing more spiritually satisfying than time spent in Adoration. {Don’t know what Adoration is? Ask! It’s wonderful I promise}
11. I’m a former Mountain Dew addict {trust me, it was BAD}

The lovely Miss Dane’s questions to me & my best attempt at answers:

If you could only buy clothing from one store for the rest of your life, where would it be?
  -In no way could I ever choose one store. {Sorry Samara!} But if I had to choose one, hmmm, it’d probably be the Gap? I like simple classics when it comes to clothes. Haha I really have no idea.
What's your favorite color?
  -Purple. Or blue? {I apologize, I am really indecisive}
What is your guilty pleasure?
  -Chick flicks. & lazy days spent in my pajamas watching TV or reading.
Mcflurrys or Bilzzards?
  -Blizzards hands down. {Hehe they don’t make cookie-dough Mcflurrys}
Who's your favorite artist/band?
  -One cannot simply choose a favorite. All good music has a time and a place. One moment may call for Adele or one day could call for Fleetwood Mac. I love them all.
Why do you blog?
  -Because it helps concentrate me in my crazy life. Because it gives me a place to write and at the same time holds me accountable. Because I love to. Because I need to.
What's your favorite Disney movie?
  -Childhood? Pocahontas.   Current? Lilo & Stitch. “Ohana means family.”
If you have one free hour, what's the first thing you do for you?
  -Truthfully? Ha sleep!
What's your favorite food?
  -Ice cream
If you remember, in what situation did you have your last laughing attack?
  -I can’t remember one particular right now, but I can assure you it was with my best friend Baylee.
Do you play an instrument?
  -I played the clarinet all through high school and love to sing whenever the moment calls for it.
