Thank you Brooke!!

These are really random.... :)
Seven things:
1. I like roses and daffodils and sunflowers best...but I like all flowers, except green flowers. Green flowers don't really seem like flowers at all.
2. Of the four seasons, I like winter the best...but that may be just because I've never lived anywhere where it gets REALLY cold in the winter. If I lived somewhere colder I'd probably like spring or fall best.
3. I enjoy Christmas the most of all holidays...and yet Easter is to me the most wonderful of all. I enjoy Christmas because of giving gifts, the chilly weather, the warm and jolly feelings everyone has...but Easter is the most glorious, because then we celebrate our Savior's resurrection, and the amazing, astounding gift of salvation.
4. I love beading jewelry...but otherwise I'm not a particularly crafty person. I don't really care for sewing, needlework, or quilting, and most other crafts don't hold my interest for very long.
5. I don't think our family could survive without bread. We eat a lot of bread, in various shapes and types: tortillas, store-bought whole-wheat bread, homemade whole-wheat bread, homemade sourdough bread, rolls, flatbread (or pita bread), crackers, etc. etc. etc.
6. I love old movies!! The majority of movies that I have watched in my lifetime were made before the 1980s or '70s...more like the '40s and '50s! I particularly love old westerns, but old musicals -- and other old movies too -- are great.
7. I am a very type-A person... A perfectionist, an overachiever, a worryer/stresser, on organizationalist... I am trying to be better at this, and the Lord is helping me get better at lot of that stuff, but that is what is natural to me.
