seven by seven.

7x7.

Hey, look! My amazing friend Chelsea tagged me today :) this makes me quite happy! I love tags....

Rules:

1. link back to the blogger who nominated you.

2. Share 7 facts about yourself.

3. Share 7 blog posts that fit into 7 categories.

4. Nominate 7 award-winning blogs/bloggers.

1.) I am a really awkward dancer. No lie. It's a good thing I'm not one to want to "go dancing", i.e., clubbing....because it would embarrass you to no end. I just don't have the flow. Awks.

2.) most people I meet don't believe I'm 16. The most common guess/assumption is 21 and 23. I think I've gotten16 like four times since I've actually been sixteen...weird.

3.) I pretend like I'm an iPhone guru, but I really have no idea how some of the stuff on my phone works. It's pathetic.I often find myself going "um....what the heck just happened..............." yeah. true story.

4.) If you tell me something I do bugs you, chances are that I'll keep doing it because I hate letting others dictate what I should and should not do. Drives me nuts.

5.) The only herb I have an aversion to is Cilantro. It makes me sick. Literally sick to my stomach I'm going to puke all over you sick. Gross, eh?

6.) My daddy has this terrible problem with heartburn, and unfortunately it's hereditary. I have frequent heartburn at 16. Cool, huh? No. Not at all. My addiction to tums at such an early age is baaaaad.

7.) The worship pastor at church told me, when I was 12, that he thought I was going to be a worship leader someday. I said he was crazy...but hey, 4 years later and a lot of mentoring by him, and here I am...an official worship leader at church. Who knew.

And 7 posts of 7 different categories:

1.) a favorite thing I've made.

2.) my second post.

3.) an inspiring story about a childhood friend.

4.) some of my most favorite photos ever.

5.) a post of all things awkward.

6.) that time I gushed about John Mayer.

7.) me trying to be funny.

And now for seven blogs I'm going to tag!
1.) My dear friend Beka over at Forever Unique
2.) Miss Amanda at Anthropomorpity (coolest blog name ever? basically.)
3.) Lauren from The Perfect Pear
4.) My new friend Susannah at Susannah Bean
5.) Leney from a Girl Named Leney - I love her blog. SO much.
6.) my four favorite sisters over at The Letter 4 - I love them SO flipping much.
7.) Miss Lauren from Tastes Like Love :) adore.

Okay, those who have been tagged....GO!

Happy monday, friends!

oh dear me. and a tag....again.

*in a sing song-y voice* IIIIIIIIIIIIIII hate packing!

Seriously. I never know what to bring...how many shoes....what tops....which jeans....and then.....

it gets even worse when I'm constricted to a suitcase of "carry on" proportions 

oh, dear me.

But I think I've got it down.....seven tops (that are all really easy to roll up), three pairs of jeans - one of which I'll be wearing, so only two have to go in my suitcase...two pairs of pj bottoms & a couple tees, workout gear (because I plan on taking advantage of the glorious gym!), intimates, and then shoes.....I'm praying it all fits....EEP! But then I still have to figure out where I'm putting my makeup/cosmetic bag.......so, maybe this is gonna be harder than I thought.....meh....

ANYWAY.

Mooooooooving on.....

Remember this tag I did? Well. I was tagged again by miss Chelsea over at Happy Bow Lucky - she's one of my favorite bloggers right now and I am so in love with her little space! I'm not going to tag anyone else again, but I just wanted to answer her tagged questions cause they were so great! :)

I'll give y'all another 11 random things about myself (because we all know how much you love reading them....haha noooooot ;) and then I'll do hers :)

1. I lose my phone every day. Seriously. I'll walk into my room and set it down somewhere, and five minutes later, I can't find it. It's awful. 

2. I have a crush right now on a college senior. if you follow me on twitter you've heard all about it. It's quite depressing, actually....but whatevs. 

3.) I used to freeze worms with my daddy and then watch them come back to life. cruel, I know...

4. I am fairly certain, that if given the chance, my brother and I would kick butt at the amazing race. SERIOUSLY. 

5. I have horrible vision. I wear really thick glasses/high prescription contacts.

6. I am not soul-less, contrary to popular belief.

7. My closet is 10x12. And I love/hate it . It causes many problems.

8. I hate swimming and am terrible at it. Meh.

9. I want to get married sooooooooo badly.

10. I want to sing the national anthem at the world series one day. Totally unlikely, but hey, a girl can dream.

11. if I could visit every thrift store in the country I would. I looooove them!!

And now for Chelsea's questions :)

1. If you could open your own business, what would it be?

I'd love to own my own fashion line. Which is weird...haha

2. What is your greatest fear?

Losing my entire family. I have dreams frequently that they all die except for Addy and I - it's awful. 

3. How long does it take you to get ready in the morning?

Getting dresses, doing my makeup, and hair? 15 - 20 minutes. Waking up is the hardest part.

4. What is your greatest talent?

Humility, definitely ;) bahahahaha. I don't know!

5. Who is your favorite actor/actress & why?

I loooooooove Kate Hudson. Don't know why though.

6. If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be?

Right where I am. Or a private island....

7. If you could go back in time, what's one thing you'd change?

Eve listening to the serpent...and she and Adam eating the fruit.

8. If it was possible to see into the future, would you want to?

No.

9. What's one thing about yourself (inwardly) you'd like to change?

How much I talk. I dominate too many conversations and leave feeling badly.

10. Do you regret your past or learn from it?

To trust God in everything. And listen to your parents...hahaha

11. What is your ALL TIME favorite song?

Basically, this is impossible for me to answer. Anything Adele, John Mayer, or country....hahaha. Yeah. I have no idea. You should see my top 25 most played playlist. I kid you not, to make it to that list the song has to be played over 1500 times - that's the MINIMUM number of plays of those songs. 

That was fun - if you want to do the questions Chelsea gave me, go for it! And let one of us know!

Happy Tuesday, lovelies!
