Hello my lovelies!
It's time for the answers to all your questions! *happy dances* Are you ready?!
It was a lot of fun reading what you all asked, and answering them. It took quite a bit of brainstorming and I was shocked at how many questions I got. *laughs* Thanks to all of you that asked me questions! I really enjoyed answering them!
This is going to be a long post by the way. *winks* But I'm super excited to post this one, so let's begin!
Brooklyne's questions:
What’s your favorite thing about summer and why?
Hmmm. *thinks for a while* Probably swimming. Or camping. Or hiking. *laughs* Okay, okay, I know. Only one. xD I just love to be outdoors with family and friends and summer time is a great way to do just that. So I guess that's my answer. *winks*
Would you rather read or write?
Well, that depends on my mood. I like to write stories if I have a great plan or idea, but if I can't think of anything cool to write about, I'd prefer reading. But it'd have to be a book with a little romance, wild-west, and butterfly feelings. xP
Favorite dessert?
Okay. This one's hard. *laughs* My favorite dessert, (since I have to choose) is probably raspberry glazed pie. Mmmmm. That's just about the best kind of pie there is.
Kylie's question:
What's your favorite way to drink coffee?
I actually don't drink coffee all that much. I know you're all probably like,
"What? You post pictures of coffees all the time!" *laughs*
But caffeine makes me sick. So, if we ever make decaf, (which is rare) I'll drink it. But I prefer to drink it with almond milk creamer. Then, (about the only time I drink coffee), if I get a coffee from a coffee shop I either get a blended coffee (most likely a caramel mocha of sorts), or I get a hot caramel mocha. *laughs* You get the picture, I like caramel mochas. *winks*
SawyerMarie's questions:
What is your favorite outfit?
Girl! This one's hard! *laughs* So, for church probably my newest one. The one I bought for Easter. It's just so comfy and feminine, I love it! *inserts picture on the left*
Then, for everyday or nice, this one I guess: *inserts picture on the right*
What is your favorite book?
Oooooh, I just read
"Love Me Tender" by Janice Hanna and I really enjoyed it. So I guess I'll say that's my favorite. But I really enjoy other books too, but I don't feel like writing them all down. xP
What is your favorite drawing you've made?
Oooooooooooooooooooooh. This is another hard one! *laughs* I'll go with these ones. xP Sorry but I just can't pick one! *laughs*
Lilly's questions:
What denomination is your church?
I attend a small church that is part of the Apostolic Lutheran Church of America (aka ALC)
Favorite book of the Bible?
The book of Psalms. It's just so comforting and beautiful. <3 When I was feeling down, and alone, I read it every night and I just really really loved it. <3
Favorite thing to do on an extremely hot day?
Probably swim, (aka float on a inner tube) and drink some ice cold lemonade. *sunglasses* 'cause I know how to live on hot days. xP
Least favorite food?
Hmm. This one's harder than it sounds. xP When I was little I did NOT like pasty. *gasps* Can you imagine?! That's now my favorite meal! *shakes head at my young self*
But, now I guess I'll say, for a meal, the lest favorite is spaghetti. It always made me sick when I was younger and it still kind of does so I'll with that one. xP
Skirts or dresses?
I like dresses better. Just because I never have any shirts that go with my skirts. I have like, three skirts hanging in my closet and I like, never wear them so... I like dresses better. xD
Felicity's questions:
Pancakes or waffles?
Hmm. Depends on my mood. I don't really like either, but since I have to choose I'll say, pancakes. As long as I have almond butter and bananas. xP
Chocolate or Vanilla?
Definitely chocolate! I love anything with chocolate! *mouth waters just thinking about it*
Apples or Pears?
Hmm. Again, depends on my mood. But I probably prefer apples over pears. *shrugs* But I just kind of like them about the same. xD
Peaches of Plums?
Grrr. Stop asking hard ones! *laughs* I'll have to say... peaches? No, I really like plums. Gah! I just can't choose! *laughs*
Which birthday (so far) has been your favorite, and why?
Oh, I like this question! *thinks back* I'll say either my 13th, or my last one.
The 13th was a great day because: I went out with my parents after church and we went to my favorite restaurant (Rocky's Pizza), then went to the store and got a few things, (even though money was tight during this time, I was happy with what I got), and then we came home, where I found the back yard decorated, with a table with a few gifts on it. We had people over, and late into the night my cousin Roger sang... <3 It was a wonderful day and I was so thankful for it.
Last year's birthday was great because: My entire family's awesome. *laughs* The day before my birthday Chancy came home with a gift for me that brought tears to my eyes, and then the next day my sisters took me out shopping and out to eat. I came home and watched my first "big kid" movie, "Captain America: The First Avenger" *sighs happily* It was a beautiful day. <3
What is your dream vacation?
Oh! To either go to Disneyland, or visit Laramie Wyoming and go to "Laramie Days" and meet Robert Fuller. *laughs* Yeah, they're kind of random but that's them. *winks*
If you could do anything at this very moment, what would it be?
Anything?! Let's see... Get dressed up, wear my new sandals, and go to town with Damara. Get some coffee and just be with people. <3
If you got another dog, what would you name it? And what kind would it be?
Ooooh, I know! I know! I'd get a chocolate lab, male, and name him, Tucket. That way he is named from "Tucket's Travles" too, and him and Lottie can get "married" just like in the book. *winks* *laughs* Yeah, I'm odd. xP
What would you name a horse if you had one?
Hmmm. Let me think about this for a bit..... *ponders* I'd get a quarter horse or palomino and name it.... If it was a girl, maybe something like, Buttercup? Or Sapphire, or Calamity, or something like that. *shrugs* I'd have to think about it for a long time to really give you an honest answer but I don't feel like it. xP Then for a boy, it would be, Rowdy, or Apache, or Cochise
Am I your favorite sister?
Felicity! You know I can't choose. *laughs at you* But.... you are my favorite
biggest sister. *winks* I know, I'm clever. xP
Beth's questions:
Do you have a favorite hymn?
I do. I really like, "The Love Of God". When my
cousin was here for a vacation, she played it on the piano and me and Damara sang it with her and I really enjoyed it. After that it kind of became my favorite. <3
Is Roy Rogers still your favorite cowboy?
Yes! Roy will forever be my top favorite. <3 He makes me so happy inside. He brings back the happy times of childhood, it makes me tear up sometimes. But there are others that are favorites. Like, Jess and Slim from "Laramie" for instants. *winks* But Roy will forever be number one.
Do you like any musicals?
Yes! I really enjoy musicals, as long as they're interesting. *winks*
What is your favorite musical?
Boy, this is a tough one. *winks* But I think my favorite is either "
Calamity Jane" or "
Seven Brides For Seven Brothers". They're just the best. <3
Natasha's questions:
If you could choose exactly how you wanted to spend a whole day, how would you spend it?
Hmmm, depends on how I'm feeling but, right now I'll say: Riding horses. *nods head* Yup. That's my dream day. It'll probably never happen but... we can dream! *winks*
What is your favorite thing to draw?
Portraits. I find that it's easier, (for me) to draw people's faces. I can't seem to get animals to look right, and doing entire bodies is hard too. But I can sometimes get a picture of a couple or something to turn out okay. *laughs*
If you had to pick just 2 pairs of shoes to wear for the rest of your life, what would they be?
Really? How in the world can you live with only two pairs of shoes?! *laughs* Probably, heeled boots, and tennis shoes. (or sneakers, or whatever you call them xP)
Would you rather be forced to eat a whole glue stick or 5 tubes of lipstick? (lol xP)
Really, Natasha? *laughs* I guess I'll say, (I don't know they're both disgusting) a glue stick? *shudders* They both sound awful but it's only one stick and lipstick tastes kinda like, well, lipstick. You all know what it tastes like, don't lie to me. It's gross, right? xP
Katelyn's questions:
What is your favorite story of you as a baby?
Hmmm. I really don't know. *laughs* Maybe that my grandma loved to hold and cuddle me. <3
You see, my grandma on my mother's side, died when I was only three. So I hardly have any memories with her... Sometimes I wish I had more, but I know God doesn't make mistakes and it was her time to go... But it can be so hard at times. *broken heart*
What is the most memorable wedding you've been to?
My sister's wedding! *winks* It was the first wedding I was able to stand in, and my first sibling to be married.
(still is the only sibling married)
I just felt so pretty and happy on that day. A little sad too of course, my sister was leaving. But it was a memorable day and I loved every minute of it. <3
(Yeah, I was blind. I didn't have my glasses yet. xP)
What is the worst injury/ medical emergency you've had?
Oh, well quite a few things have happened to me. *winks*
One, I was rushed to the hospital by ambulance. You can read about it
HERE.
Two, my throat almost swelled shut from peanuts. You can also read about that one,
HERE.
Then, three, I broke my arm when I was about six. I was jumping on the trampoline and it got twisted in the springs when I was flung forward. But, I just got a cast and was fine after about six weeks of wearing that awful, itchy thing. xP
What is the craziest thing you've done?
Hmm. I really don't know if I've done anything crazy. *hides face* Yeah, I'm a boring person. xP
If you could meet anyone from the past, who would it be and why?
Roy Rogers. He was, and forever will be, my hero. The person who was always ready to save the day. *happy\sad sigh* Whenever I watch his movies, I am thrown back to my childhood, and the long hours of watching him ride his beloved horse, Trigger to save the day. <3
If you could visit any fictional place or world, where would you go?
Neverland. It's the place where you stay a child forever. Never growing old, and fretful. *cries because it's just sad* When I was little, I used to watch "Peter Pan" and want to go to Neverland so bad. To run around with Peter and the lost boys.... <3
Lexah's questions:
What is your favorite memory of growing up?
Hmmm. I'll have to think back. *does just that*
To tell the truth, any memory of growing up, is the best. I mean, how can you just choose one, when your childhood was beautiful? <3
What is a random/funny story that has happened to you?
Oh, I know what to say.... *chuckles*
(this is gonna be a long story)
Me, Damara and our cousin Danielle, were asked to wrap Christmas gifts for our grandparents... Danielle came and picked us both up, (she's a couple years older than us) and we headed out.
Once we got there, we seen a note left for us from our step-grandma, and we tried our hardest to understand what she wrote. xP (she's a doctor so... she has doctor handwriting) We got to wrapping, gifts and noticed we were the only ones home. After a long time of wrapping, the sun went down and night fell. We were having a great time, telling scary stories and scaring ourselves,
(you know that's the best) and laughing a lot.
Well, I got up when I noticed a car light come up to the house. We knew that Grandpa wasn't going to be home, and Nana Sue had just left town... I went to the window that stood by the front door and peaked out. I seen a man in an orange tee-shirt coming to the door and called out, "Damara I think it's your dad."
Damara got up, confused because Danielle was going to bring us home.
I went back to the living room when we heard Damara yell, "That't
not my dad!" And she took off up the stairs screaming. I looked out the window before racing after her, all the while screaming.
Danielle was struggling to follow us, and we stumbled up the stairs our hearts pounding.
We stood at the top of the stairs for awhile trying to figure out what we should do. I decided we best go down and see what the man did. All the while thinking,
"It had to be someone we know." I had seen a glimpse of the man's face before rushing up the stairs screaming, and I thought maybe I recognized it.
We went to the front door and seen that it was still open a little. We, panicked and decided he was hiding in the bathroom by the front door, ready to murder us. *laughs*
Guys. I'm laughing at myself as I write this. *tries to stop the laughter*
We pushed open the bathroom door and peeked inside. No one.
Also, dear readers, take note that we were all clinging to each other like we were glued together. xD
I closed the front door all the way and locked it. Then we went back to wrapping gifts, turned on every light in house, and hoped we were going to be okay. xD
After Nana Sue got home we told her what happened and she was all like, "How scary. Yeah, you better keep the doors locked when you're home alone." Then she turned to Grandpa as he walked in and said, "Tell Grandpa what happened."
So, me loving to tell stories, went all into detail about what happened.
All the time I spoke, my grandpa had an odd smirk on his face. I wondered about it, but finished my story. Well, he just smiled sweetly at me and said, "Clint stopped by to drop off a gift."
Guys. Clint is our uncle. *bursts into laughter* We sure made fools of ourselves. Screaming in his face. *dies of embarrassment* He must have thought we were crazy!
Would you rather visit Peru or France? (Before you answer make certain you research both of the countries. I recently did a report on Peru for school, it was super interesting!!)
Peru! (and yes, I did my research *winks*) I went and looked it up and things, and... the mountains are beautiful! I just love mountains. It just looked like an awesome place to visit. xD
Would you rather visit Hawaii or Alaska?
Definitely Alaska. 'nough said. ;P
Did you train Lottie yourself? Did you follow a certain method like clicker training, or just kinda did whatever you thought?
Yes. I did all the training myself.
(it wasn't easy xP) I just did what ever I read in books, or came up with on my own.
I just used puppy treats, and hand commands along with the verbal commands until she understood what I was saying. I started with sit, for the first few days\week(s) and then advanced to lay. Then, to stay, and come... She is such an angel I sometimes forget that I'm the one that trained her. *sly smile* *winks* *laughs* But then there are the times she runs off with a shoe or something and won't come back... *rolls eyes* xP Then I know I must have train her. *laughs*
What is your favorite second hand store?
Well... I don't really shop second hand, or shop at all. xP But if I do, I always end up going to Goodwill. It, most of the time, has nice things and I can find what I want.
How are you so pretty?? Like I literally think that every time I see pictures of you <333
Girl. You're so sweet. <3 *grins* I was created by a wonderful Creator and He made me. So that's my answer. <3
Whew! That took more thought than I expected! *laughs* I hope you didn't get too bored reading this long post. Again, thanks for all the questions! May God bless you all!
