A FEW OF MY FAVORITE THINGS ...:
Color: Orange
I have loved the color Orange since my mission. My first companion liked the color a lot and I thought it was an interesting choice. After that I started to really notice it and it really made me happy.
Actor: Tom Hanks
Who couldn't like Tom Hanks? I mean seriously, he has to be one of the greatest actors ever. I think he could portray any role if asked to. I love that he does a variety of genres of film from romantic comedy to drama.
Actress: Kate Winslet
I fell in love with Kate Winslet in the film Sense & Sensibility. I loved how she portrayed the feisty Marianne. After seeing her in Titanic I decided to see as many of her films as I could. She truly is a gifted actress.
Singer: Josh Groban
This isn't entirely a fair question because I like many genres of music, but if I had to choose I would probably say Josh Groban. His voice makes me melt. It is so beautiful and I find myself totally relaxed when I listen to him.
Singer: Faith Hill
I love Faith Hill! Her music is fabulous and I always count down until her next cd is released. I have been to three of her concerts and own every cd she has released including the imports.
Musical Group : Counting Crows
I liked the Counting Crows long before I realized that I did. I would always enjoy their music when it came on the radio, but I never realized it was them. Then one day I was riding with my friend in his car and asked him, “Who sings this”? He told me it was the Counting Crows, this happened a few more times and I decided that I should go buy their cd. So I did and I instantly fell in love with their music and had to go buy the rest of their cds.
Drink: White Chocolate Creme Frappacino
Thank you to Lindsey for introducing me to the coffee-free side of Starbucks! I had my first Frappacino on a trip to New York City. I was hooked. When I returned home I tried some new flavors and have decided that while I have enjoyed all the Frappacinos I have tried the White Chocolate is definitely my favorite.
Soda: Vanilla Coke
I lovely love love Vanilla Coke! They discontinued it for a while and I thought I would cry. Now it is back and I am sooooo happy!
Food: French Fries
This was hard because I really enjoy food, but I love potato products, especially french fries. Especially if they are covered in melted cheese. I love a good trip to Dee's for cheese fries and a vanilla coke.
Dessert: Vanilla Ice Cream with fresh Raspberries
I love this sweet and tasty treat. I can't remember the first time I had it, but I sure am glad I did!
Word: Fabulous
Don't ask me why, but I love this word and think it is simply fabulous!
Store: Old Navy or New York & Co.
It really depends on what I am looking for. Old Navy is where I like to get my t-shirts and jeans type of casual clothing. Their clothes are so comfy and the prices are good. But if I want work clothes or a pretty blouse I love New York & Co.
Hobby: Photography
I love the many different aspects of it. Everything from taking the pictures to developing them to scrapbooking and displaying them. I find a lot of peace being behind the lens of a camera. It is interesting to see the different ways of looking at things. Plus I have been given so many great opportunities with my photography. I have been blessed to shoot everything from a National Scholarship Program to a Grand Prix Swim Meet with gold medal swimmers to performers at Carnegie Hall. I have met many amazing people and seen beautiful and fabulous places.
