Tag!

I was tagged by BP to answer the seven questions she gave me. Then I am to come up with seven questions and tag seven people to answer those questions.

These are BP's questions for me:
1. Do you exercise regularly? If so what kind of exercise do you do?
Not so much. I'm married to a PE teacher that workouts out enough for the both of us.... Does that count? Didn't think so... I walk, rollerblade, and ride bike when it's nice out. My husband drags me to the gym in the winter but I don't enjoy it one bit.

2. What is your favorite fast food restaurant?
Panera! (But only because that's what I had last night- this answer could easily vary)

3. Do you use plastic, paper, or reusable/recyclable bags?
I'm married to the best husband in the world... he does our shopping and he gets plastic. (gasp, I know. But we reuse them all the time, does that help?)

4. What is the best book you've ever read?
The obvious answer is the Bible. But I'm going with 19 Minutes by Jodi Picoult. It's been on my mind lately because it's been a hot topic of conversation with my homeroom. It's not even a book I like but it's very thought provoking, especially if you work with teens.

5. What is your favorite drink?
Orange juice almost every morning. Hot carmel apple spice if I'm feeling lazy. Moscato if I'm feeling festive.

6. What's a website you go to every day?
facebook. {captured by} heidi. under the sycamore.

7. Do you have a favorite charity? What is it and why do you support them?
Compassion. My husband and I have a heart for kids. All kids.

Here are the seven questions I am asking.
1. Do you prefer email, texting, phone calls, or face to face interaction? Why?
2. What are your favorite blogs?
3. If you could go anywhere, where would you go and who would you take with you?
4. Have you and your husband created any traditions for your family? If so, what are they?
5. What's on the menu for your favorite meal? (Recipes optional....) :)
6. What is your favorite date night?
7. What's your goal right now?

Now I am tagging the following people: (and posting with their answers- will that guilt trip them into playing?) ;)

A {cb}h Post.... for the D Family!

Okay... I don't normally do this... but this family's preview isn't scheduled to post until Monday and I couldn't make her (or Mary for that matter) wait until then to see her preview.... but I also didn't want to budge her up in the line. So to be fair (in a sneaky sort of way), I'm just showing her preview here. Until Monday. Then she'll be up on the main blog.

And by the off chance that a client reads the Hickstionary- and you were ahead of her in line and want to see your preview, I'll get yours ready for you too! Just let me know! :)

The D Family

In case you are like my husband (and I guess nearly all the rest of the population) and you don't get what the big deal is about blogging.... you probably don't get that this girl is a great friend of mine! Never-mind the fact that I didn't actually meet her until she showed up for family photos! :) It was soooooo much fun to meet this family (you know, in real life as opposed to the blog world), even though I already felt like I knew them when they showed up. I didn't plan it this way, but she was the last session of the evening that night so I got to chat her ear off forever before her husband finally got to take his family home.

And yes, I know, they're stinkin' adorable aren't they?! Thanks for coming up for photos! And thanks to Mairs for introducing us in the blog world! :)

blog roll

If you don't check out all of the awesome blogs in my blog roll to the right, you should take a gander.

And if you don't read Team Sullivan, by all means, check it out.

They are our neighbors (well not really, but in a town this size, we're all practically neighbors) and they are adopting from Ghana. It's a great time to pray for them!

I used to have all these pretty little tabs across the top of my blog about past topics.... then I realized that was way too much work and TAGS are much easier. So here's some past topics from the Hickstionary. You can search through tabs and use that handy little search box up top to find more! :)
