friday blanks with Lauren!

1.  Something I am very proud of is  choosing the narrow path in life

2.  My favorite thing about myself is  ugh awkward, um... probably how much I've grown over the last 10 years or that I have Jesus who makes me new daily and reminds me to pursue true and real life

3.  My favorite color for fall is  oh goodness I love every fall color, I'm loving the dark forest green this year!

4. Something I've been learning lately is   ugh so much, being content? I think I'll always be working on this

5. A book I am reading now/have read recently is  Having a Mary Spirit

6. My favorite Pandora Station is  probably Mat Kearney or old school Brittney, Desnitny's Child, Backstreet Boys

7.  This weekend I will go to the high school football game tonight, run errands (looking for paint colors & appliances for the house) and hang with friends tomorrow & celebrate my cousins birthday

friday blanks

its been a while :)

1.  My favorite grade in school was   oh this is hard. 3rd because I had a great teacher and learned about Native Americans (?), 7th because of my classmates and teacher, sophomore year because I got to transfer out of private school back to public, or senior year because I loved my friends so much. 

2.  My favorite teacher was  Mr. King   because,   he made learning super fun and I actually remember things I learned from him in the 7th grade. and he was funny. He made me love the Outsiders, Shakespeare, CITYSTATES and lots of other things. He also started each class with "Tales of the UT" (untold) that were odd facts, that is where I did most of my learning.  He is now an awesome author in Portland, you can find his books here.

3.  The highest level of education I have completed is  bachelor's degree

4. School lunches for me were usually     made by my mom and gross healthier (therefore not as yummy) as all of my friends lunches

5. The amount of money you'd have to pay me to go back to high school would be  not much... as a Young Life leader I get paid nothing and go back all of the time :) I actually loved high school so much. yes there was always a little drama that I would take out but when I look back on it I don't remember that. I just remember all my incredible friends and the fellowship and community I had. I was so taken care of, so loved, so poured into. I would go back in a heartbeat.

6. A few things that will always remind me of going back to school are:  going to the beach for Labor Day like we do every year because it used to symbolize the end of the summer and a transition into school and now it just means I get a 4 day work week 

7.  The first day of school was always  really exciting because I got to organize all my new school supplies and see who was in my classes and felt excited for the school year, and football season.

1.   My idea of pure perfection would be   more time in the day and the week and people only having to work 4 days of the.

2.   Jesus's love & grace     makes the world go 'round.

3.  If it weren't for   responsibility     I'd   be on vacation all of the time  .

4.  Bloggers are   an inspiration, makes me so happy to be apart of this world .

5.  If I had    allll da money in the world   I'd buy you   a boat.. and a lake and a lake house to go with it  .

6.  I'm glad it's Friday because      bri and I are leaving for Bend to celebrate our 2nd anniversary   .

7.  Something I'm excited about is    my garden and the fall (i hate to say it already but I really DO love the fall and our summer here has been super dumb weather so I'm just ready to move on if its not going to get any warmer...)  .

1.   People always tell me I look like      either Sarah Michelle Gellar when she was young and had dark hair or Jennifer Aniston? I WISH .

2.  Friends don't let friends    stay the same, they encourage each other to grow into better people.

4.  My favorite accessory is  my scarves I guess
