1. What's your favorite holiday?
Now that I have a child, I LOVE Christmas. I could not wait for Thanksgiving to be over this year just because I wanted to decorate and get into the holiday spirit.
2. When you were young, what did you
want to be when you grew up?
When I was young, I think I wanted to be a teacher. I remember having a classroom all set up in my bedroom complete with dry erase board, stuffed animal students and grading homework.
3. What hobby would you like to take up if
you had more money/time?
I would love to become a legitimately good cook and baker. Also: grow and can my own vegetables, read A LOT more and learn to sew. That's my short list! Ha!
4. What TV shows do you currently watch?
Frasier, Nashville, The Big Bang Theory, Shark, Amazing Race (most of these start at 8, right after Finn goes to bed. This is not an accident. )
5. How
long do you spend getting ready on a typical morning?
Probably 45 minutes, average.
6. What does your
name mean?/Why did your parents choose your name?
I think my name means white island. Both are true. ;) I think my parents chose it because they both liked it. Actually, I think my mom liked the name Brooke (my middle name) and dad liked Whitney. Dad always called me "WB". Especially when it came to sports.
7. What's the best
gift you've ever received?
I think the most meaningful gift I ever received was from my dad on Christmas. He gave me a guitar. I will learn to play it one day. Some of my best memories of dad were when he would play guitar and sing and I would play piano. We played "Silent Night" together the most because it was really beautiful. To this day, someone playing an acoustic guitar and singing brings me back to listening to dad play when we were growing up. 14 years later, that guitar sits in my closet. I fully intend to continue our jam sessions when I get to heaven. Everyone's invited.
Thanks Kayla! That was a lot of fun! (Hope the last question didn't depress anyone. This book helped me a lot to heal. I highly recommend it.)
Thanks for answering! I remember playing school with your stuffed animals, especially the time Nathan came and shot them all with his blow gun. :)We were soo mad!
ReplyDeleteI don't remember hearing your dad play guitar very much, but I loved listening to him sing. I'll definitely be attending those jam sessions.
Your last one didn't depress me at all. It just gave me another opportunity to remember your dad--something I enjoy doing!
