Ok, now for the questions part...

1) What are your views on modern fashion, and how do you define modesty? Ack, that is an involved one!!! ;) For the most part, I like modern fashion... From what I have seen, I think there may be a few dumb looks coming out this year, but the colors are neat... I don't think that you should follow the trends for the sake of fitting in, but neither should you reject a certain look just because it is trendy... There is a balance to everything. My definition of modesty is... What glorifies the Lord??? What makes you feel beautiful??? What is considerate to your brothers in Christ??? Notice I put them in that order... Some people tend to overlook and completely reject the first two and focus exclusively on the last one... They think that not exciting sexual desires is the sole purpose of clothing... Like the Muslim Burka... I think that modesty should be between a girl and the Lord... Clothing represents a covering of sins for humans (go back to the Garden of Eden when God first clothed Adam and Eve) and as such it should be an exciting experience that brings honor and glory to the Lord... Not doubt and paranoia about whether or not a guy will give me a "look" if I wear this... Any way, rant over... ;)

2) What did 2011 teach you? It taught me a new meaning for what "staying at home" truely means... The first year after high school I stayed home and nannyed... I hated it... I hated being confined and never going anywhere and having to chase around a two year old in between dull things like laundry and dishes... And then I got two part time jobs... And my world went from always being at home to never being at home... Contrast provides perspective for me... And now I can see that being at home doesn't mean physically never leaving the house... It means your life revolves around your home... it is the center of your ministry, activities, and life... You may leave, but you always come back... :)

3) What is your favorite movie? I hate it when I get asked that... There are so many!!! For the sake of ease, I will cut out Mini-Series and Super long costume dramas... I would have to saaaaaay........... *thinking*.............. Ok, I am going to say my top three favorite movies... There is no way I could narrow it down to one... A Knight's Tale, Despicable Me, and THOR... :)

4) What is your favorite band/artist? Yay, an easy one!!!! The Band Perry!!!!!! :D

5) Do you like to cook? Eh, no... But I will if I have to... I just don't willfully seek it out as an activity of enjoyment...

6) What is something you like to do for fun? Dance!!!!! I do English Country Dancing and I am going to be taking Ballroom very soon... ;)

7) How did you get started blogging? Ummm... Because some of my friends did it and I needed a creative outlet at the time... :)
