What kind of a car do you want when you're older? I have no clue!

Where do you want to live when you're older? As long as it's in the mountains I'll be happy. :)

Do you want to go to college? Nope. If I do anything it will be something like College Plus

, but not even that really appeals to me right now. Maybe when I get older I'll want to do it.

How many siblings do you have? Two older sisters and a younger brother.

How many children do you want to have when you're married? A lot!

Boys or girls? Both!

City girl or country girl? Country, definitley.

Flying or driving? I've never flown before. The thing I'd want to do the most is ride a train, but since that's not a choice I'll say I'd rather fly.

Bike riding or swimming? Bike riding.

Sports or no sports? Okay, this question is like in every tag! How many times do I have to say I like to play sports, but I don't like to watch them!

Books or movies? Both!

School or chores? Well, probably chores.

Inside or outside? Usually outside.

Wednesday or Sunday? Sunday!

Friends or Family? Both!

Fried or scrambled eggs? Scrambled. I haven't had scrambled eggs in like four months cause I fixed them too much for a while and burned myself out on them.

Pancakes or cereal? Pancakes, definitely! I never have liked cereal and haven't had any in like six months!

Big meal or something small? Big meal, probably.

Movie or TV show? Usually movie, but I do like to watch "Sue Thomas F.B. Eye," "Doc", and "I Love Lucy."

Thing to do outside? I either read or play with Josh and/or Toby

Favorite meal? What kind of a question is that? Well, if I have to answer, it would have to be Thanksgiving dinner.

Place to read a good book? Outside in the middle of the fruit trees.

What is your favorite vegetable? Potatoes or "PO-TA-TOES!" like Sam would say. :)

Where do you want to live when you graduate? At home, until I get married.

What time or day do you like the best? Morning because that's when I get the most done.

What is your favorite flower? Probably roses, but I'd have to think about it.

What is your favorite weapon? The Bible!

Do you like sports? Why is this question in the tag if there's another question asking the same thing above it?

Do you like writing? Yes.

What is your favorite month? December!

Do you like adventure? Yep.

Do you collect anything? I guess so.

What do you collect? Pens, stationary, cards, and stickers.

Do you live near your grandparents? No, that's why I write to them.

Are you bored of this? Not really.

Okay, I tag anyone who's willing to spend the time to answer the questions! :)

Merry CHRISTmas everyone!

A Cute Award!

This is an award I received from Eldarwen! I really like the poem that goes with it! :)

Before Lizzy could get away,

Mr. Collins came forth to say,

You can hardly doubt my intent,

After all the time we have spent.

My attentions have been too marked,

That they can hardly be misread.

Right as I came into this house,

I meant to take you as my spouse,

I'll state my reasons to marry.

It would add to my happiness,

And set a model of marriage,

In my home and in my parish.

For it is the right thing for me,

And also now dear cousin see.

That is the recommendation,

From my most lovely patroness.

She said to me to take a wife,

As the companion of my life.

She said to me the girl I pick,

Should be gentle and kind,

Which I why I have you in mind.

Many Blessings,

Haley

~ My Ten Things ~

My sister Lindsay and Caleb tagged me! This tag seems to be very popular lately and looks fun!

Here are the directions:

1. Say thanks and link to the person who gave you the award. (Thank you, Lindsay and Caleb!) :)

2. Share ten "honest" things about yourself.

3. Award this to seven people who's blog design/content you admire or who have encouraged you, and inform them of their win and of the rules of this award.

~

1. I do not like coffee. No, I've never actually tried it, but it doesn't smell very good.

2. I usually prefer cooking or baking alone than with other people.

3. I've gotten very behind in blogging lately. Yes, there are so many posts I didn't read this week and, well, I haven't posted, so... Yeah, I'm behind!

4. I've been busy freezing apples and peaches and making peach preserves. Yes, and it's a lot of fun! :) This is my first year to actually do anything like that, but I like that kind of stuff and no one else in the family does so I've been busy in the kitchen!

5. I love picking up cats and smaller dogs! Neither of our cats like it though, and if I'm not careful I'll receive a nip or scratch! Yikes!! The funny part is that our dog doesn't mind it one bit! Yes, there's something wrong with this picture.

6. I go and play outside with my brother almost every day. He appreciates it and we have tons of fun together! :)

7. I like to play them, but will not watch sports. It just seems like such a waste of time, especially if your team loses.

8. I am going to learn Spanish this school year. I am excited about it and can't wait to start!

9. I use to be a very messy person, but not anymore!!

10. My two favorite Christian music artists are Amy Grant and Michael W. Smith.

~

Okay, that's ten! And, just so you know, it took me a long time to think of all those!

I am going to have to break the last rule because everyone I know has already done the tag! But, if anyone sees this and wants to do it, feel free!

An Award And Some News

Hello everyone,
I received this cute little award from Sarah H. Thank you so much, Sarah, I like it!

I am now going to award:

McKenzie Elizabeth

Lindsay


Okay, I'm sorry I haven't posted this week, but my Blogger page was messed up for a couple of days so I couldn't.

We are going to take another trip! This time it's to see our grandparents. Yeah, remember when the tires on our van had leaks? Well we never were able to schedule another visit. We will be leaving tomorrow and getting home on Sunday.

And just so everyone knows, it looks like the moving company will be packing us. I'm sorry I'm so back and forth on just about everything, but that's literally how we are here. One day we'll decide on one thing, the next we'll change our mind.

I hope everyone is having a wonderful week!

Blessings,
