Rent. I can’t wait to move out of this house. Just one more month left in it!

2. Do you miss being a child?

I miss the idea of being a child, but not my actual childhood.

3. What chore do you hate the most?

Is “all of them” a choice? Okay, if I had to choose: vacuuming.

A little restaurant in a small town in North Carolina.

5. If you could go back and change one thing, what would it be?

If I had the ability to change anything, I would change an experience from when I was a kid.  Vague, vague!

Mrs. Clark, with the Snoopy-themed classroom.

7. What do you really want to be doing right now?

Talking to a friend I miss.

8. What did you want to be when you grew up?

One; I was there for five years in which I got my undergrad in Communication with an emphasis in Public Relations (SHOCKER?) and my masters in Youth and Family Ministries.

“Maybe tomorrow?”

“Maybe today?”

14. What famous person would you like to have dinner with?

Beth Moore. I know a lot of people say that, but I can’t help it. It’s really who I’d pick. And, for the record, I’d say “I really like your hair” at the start of the meal and then I would not say ANOTHER BLESSED WORD FOR THE ENTIRE MEAL JUST SO I COULD LISTEN TO EVERYTHING SHE SAID.

15. Have you ever crashed your vehicle?

A couple of little fender benders, but no actual wrecks.

16. If you didn’t have to work, would you volunteer?

Absolutely. In fact, I’m hoping to volunteer somewhere this fall, hopefully a children’s hospital. I spent a summer volunteering in a hospital when I was younger and I loved it, even though it was heartbreakingly sad when patients I helped take care of died, especially the babies.

17. Get up early or sleep in?

Depends… it’s hard for me to sleep in, but I sure do like trying.  I haven’t slept more than five hours a night for the last week, so I’m pretty tired.

Can I just pick the entire Jetson family?

I’m still waiting on that. I wish I could feel like I’m old!!! (Words that will haunt me later, I’m sure.)

20. Favorite lunch meat?

I don’t eat lunch meat. I still eat peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.

HellohavewemetmynameisAmyBethandIcan’twaittogetmarried.

23. Favorite movie you wouldn’t want anyone to find out about?

I certainly wouldn’t call it my favorite movie, but there are parts of Twilight that I liked. BUT I have major reservations about the whole concept behind that storyline so I’m not too vocal about liking parts of it. I read the first book and watched the movie because parents of girls we served in Starlite kept asking my opinion on whether it was appropriate or not. I’m very conflicted on it. But that’s another post for another time.

24. What’s your favorite drink?

Diet Crush. It has no caffeine, so I can drink it.

25. Who from high school would you like to run into?

I had this really good friend named Roberto that I’ve never been able to track down. I’d really, really like to know how his life is going these days. Can’t find him — or anyone that knows anything about him.

Typically pop but occasionally country.

Staying in a relationship that was just awful because I was afraid.

I am 24 years and 277 days old.
