I was tagged!!! :)

Hey everyone! Well, I was tagged by my bloggy friend Kari from The Busy Busbys! I hope these help you get to know me better! I love getting to all of you better too.


1. You can only pack 3 things on vacation. What are they?
Well this is a trick question....cause it would be different if I was going to the beach or to the mountains! hah! So, let's say it's a beach vacation...cause that is my favorite! I would pack one fabulous sundress, a swimsuit and good book! I think that's all I would need. There is nothing better than laying on the beach with a good book, taking in God's beautiful creation!


2. Where would that vacation be?
Well, I love Destin, Florida. But if I could pick anywhere.....it would have to be HAWAII!!!! Hopefully someday my sweet hubby and myself can enjoy a vacay to that beautiful place! sigh....


3. Where was your first plane ride to?
I'm not sure I can remember. But, I'm pretty sure it was to Disney World! yay! I think that was my first family vacation. I heart Disney World. That is another place I would love to go to with my man!


4. Do you prefer turkey or ham for Christmas?
Turkey is my favorite, though I love both. However.....our family has a different tradition. For as long as I can remember we make a huge roast on Christmas Eve! And we always call it roast beast! (you know from the Grinch....they carved the roast beast?!) I love that tradition. And my momma always makes the most delicious roast. You would love it!


5. When is the earliest you shop for Christmas presents?
Probably November. If I see something special for someone....I will pick it up whenever. My mom and I have a tradition of going out on BLACK FRIDAY!!!! We have the most fun together. I will always try to do all of my shopping on that day. Then I can have the entire month of December to just relax and enjoy the festivities!


6. What is your favorite comfort food?
I love mashed potatoes and gravy!!!! I think that is as comforting as food can get!


7. You have a shopping spree to any store you want. What store is that?
Definitely TARGET!!!!!!!!!! I can find anything I'm looking for at that amazing place. And everything is so cute to top it all off. I wish I had one closer to my home. I have to drive across town to get to ours. But, I still love it.


8. What movie makes you cry everytime you watch it?
I ball like a baby when I watch Marley & Me. As you know, I'm in love with my sweet Miss Maddie....so that movie just kills me to watch it. I almost hyperventilated last time! oh my. Also, the Father of the Bride movies always make me cry. I just love em! I'm already a cryer....so I tend to cry easily in movies anyway.


Well that's it!!! :) Feel free to answer these questions one and all! I love reading everyone's answers. Happy Thursday Friends!


xo,
Amanda

Ummm...are we sisters? I'm with you on basically all of that! Hubby & I are hoping to save up and maybe visit Hawaii next summer...I've only been once with my family but it was INCREDIBLE!!! And Marley & me...seriously, I live with Marley and I sobbed through the entire thing; I don't even watch the end now.

I have the same Black Friday tradition with my mom! We've been doing it since I was in middle school. Unfortunately though, this is the first year we'll be apart for Thanksgiving. :[

I hope you and your hubby do get to go to Hawaii one day! It really is a beautiful place!!!! I think you'd love it!

Amanda Moury said...

Oh my gosh, that's so funny that you said "Father of the Bride"! My coworkers and I were just talking about that! Because I bought that movie a couple weeks before my wedding and couldn't watch it without blubbering everywhere! LOL Great post :)

Rebekah said...

This is great! Father of the Bride is my favorite movie! Before I got married, I watched it all the time and couldn't stand it. Ha, my dad did too!

LOVE your answers!!!!! Our whole family went to see Marley and Me...including hubby's sister/bro-in-law and their kids...every single one of us cried...one of the 12-year-old boys cried, but tried to hide it until my hubby said, "It's okay, we're all crying!" Then we all cried some more...greatness!!!!

Love the Roast Beast tradition!!!

Mmm, I want mashed potatos and gravy now :) And careful what you wish for with living close to Target. I live literally 5 minutes away and can't get there fast enough :)

Jessica said...

Um, Hi. I'm your twin. I love potatoes, LOVE Hawaii and cried the first time I met Cinderella in person. :/

I cannot watch Marley and me. I become a total mess!!!

I too am obsessed with Target! I want to play supermarket sweeps there! haha

Kari said...

I went to the movies to see Marley and Me and I was a mess. I cried like a baby and I hyperventilated too!
