Oh.my.goodness!!!
I am SOOO stoked about being nominated by one of my inspirations to the blogging worlds for the Liebster Award!!
^ Check her out, she's uhhhh-mazing!
So here's the thing, I answer 11 questions she's posted about me, and I pick 11 people to answer MY questions :)
Link-Up Par-tay!
Nina asked Ellie:
1. If you could only celebrate one holiday a year, which would it be?
Christmas. All of the other holidays wouldn't even exist without the birth of Jesus!
2. Which is better: the morning or the night?
Shew, I sure wish I could say night, but being a "big girl with a big girl job" makes me want to sleep during the night and be super perky in the mornings! I'm getting old!!
3. If you were stranded on a desert island, who would you want to be stranded with and what is the one item you would want to have?
My BFF/Sister for life. She's the only person I could put up with for more than one full day and she's SUPER smart so if we needed something useful she might be more capable of conjuring it up than I would!! And one item I would want to have with me would have to be my nook. I have tons of books (and could add more) that need to be read... endless reading on endless beach time? Sign me up!
4. Were you more interested in the Superbowl or the Bruno Mars half time show Sunday night? If you didn't watch either, what did you spend your Sunday evening doing?
Netflix- current show: Once Upon a Time
5. If you are a religious person, how does religion affect your life?
I am a Christian and most days I'm not the best one either. My whole faith revolves around Jesus and I strive to become better about worshiping Him.
6. The last thing you bought was . . .
A CAR! I am SO excited I finally bought a car! Eeeeeek!
7. Do you have any embarrassing stories you're willing to share with the internet world?
Well a couple are stories through some of my posts! But one in particular that still makes me laugh is:
This one guy I was texting and basically knew all about his life (and he knew about mine) asked me out on a face-to-face date after a few chats. I was super excited because I hadn't been out with anyone in a while and he was offering to take me to dinner and a movie (SCORE). Here's the embarrassing part... I didn't save his name in my phone, and I had forgotten it. I went back to the website where we first started messaging, and HE DELETED HIS ACCOUNT! So I had to resort to finally asking him and apologizing a million times for forgetting his name, and he stopped talking to me. I should be added to the HALL OF LAME for that one.
8. What is your number one pet peeve?
Bad grammar.
9. What do you prefer: movies, books, or the interwebz?
A nice combination of all 3! I get bored with just one of these for long periods of time. Usually, I will read a couple chapters on my nook, then turn on the tv for some good ole Netflix, then check out the world wide web for some good info.

10. What is your favorite season?
Spring. Everything is SO colorful & the weather is not too hot and not too cold.

11. Why do you blog?
I love writing, always have. Also, some of the stories I tell are quite hilarious, even to me. I want others to laugh along and realize that dating can be super fun if you stay positive and SAFE. Safety is super important as well.
NOW....it's my turn to ask the questions!! :)
- What is the absolute worst pick-up line you've received or have heard someone else be a victim of?

- Do you blog for followers or fun?
- What is one thing that you could eliminate from your Facebook/Instagram/Twitter feed?
