Forgotten Awards Turned Q+A

Okay... About 6 or 7 months ago someone nominated us for a few awards. We were super busy and after we copied the questions down to answer later, we completely forgot about it and who nominated us! :-(
So... after we remembered it I started typing up my answers whenever I had the time. Obviously, I didn't have too much extra time. But now it's going to be a regular Q+A post!
                                          Rebekah's "Liebster Award" Answers:

Q: If you could visit any place in the world where would you go? 

 A: I really don't have a clue! There are too many beautiful places to choose from! Okay- I'm not fooling anyone. Ireland definitely.

A: Five.

 A: My dog. ;-P

Q:Do you like morning or evening better?

 A: Evening.

Q:Who is your role model? 

 A: I don't really have a particular person that I try to be like. But my role models I guess would just be a lot of different people- not just one.

Q:If you could meet any person on earth, who would you want to meet? 

A:  ONE PERSON? Well, Kent Hovind really intrigues me with his self-assured approach on Creation so I guess him! (Otherwise... the Duggars, the Bates,the Pearl family, etc...)

 Rebekah's Answers to Sweeter Gets the Journey Questions:

1. What is the last book you read?
Without a Trace by Colleen Coble! [It's set in the U.P., Michigan's upper peninsula.]

2. Do you have any pets?  If so, what.  If not, what would you like?
Yes. The ones I have that qualify as pets would be a Saint Dane [Great Dane/Saint Bernard] named Harvey, and a Holland Lop rabbit named Mopsey. [We've got lots of other animals but they're considered livestock.]

3. What would you do with a billion dollars?
 Where to start oh where to start!  First: adopt about 10 orphans; then pay for 10,000 wells to be dug in Africa; then pay for a Christian Republican campaign for president (and make sure he won!).  Now for some selfish things!  Buy a giant ranch or farm [and have all Red Brand fencing!];  buy all the horses at a slaughter auction and pay for their training and upkeep then give them all to kids who can't afford to buy one; buy a grand piano; go back to Lithuania; finish our house [It's been under construction for...a very long time!]; then invest some here and there for my future family!

4. Do you sing or play any instruments?   If so, what, if not what would you like to learn?
I sing and play the piano. But I would love to play violin! It's the most beautiful instrument in my humble opinion!

5. If you knew you would not be unharmed, what risky thing would you try (ie. swimming with sharks, riding a lion, bungee jumping... etc.)
Ride a bull at a rodeo for the full 8 seconds!

6. Are you a morning or night person?
Neither: either or!  :-D

7.What makes you laugh out loud?
Babies trying to talk and kids [Baby goats] running around and bouncing off everything!  [Any Waltons fans out there?  The scene where Jason comes down the steps to the kitchen and trips over Jim-Bob's scooter cracks me up every time!!!]

8. What is something(s) you dislike?
People pretending they know about animals.The new John-Boy in the late seasons of The Waltons. Math.

9. What is something you find amazing every time you see/hear etc. about it?
Myself of course! ;-P   I can't think of a real answer.

10. What is your favorite holiday and why?
Is this weird?  I don't have a particular holiday I favor!

11. What's your top source of inspiration (for anything, from anything).
Pinterest of course! Hahaha!  No, probably just all of the many [MANY] the books I read!
