Ten Random Questions for Grace

   So, as always on this blog, Grace and I are bored, and we're doing a Q&A.These are ten questions that Grace has to answer.

1. Do you do Halloween? Why?
We used to do Halloween when I was younger, just like we always used to do Christmas with the whole Santa thing and Easter with the whole Easter bunny thing, (and the tooth fairy and whatever).  I don't really do Halloween anymore because I'm not really big on the whole dark, scary fantasy that my generation seems to be obsessed with.  BUT... I do love dressing up when I can.  :)  I'm excited for this Halloween because I'm going to wear my Civil War costume and hang with Promise and some other friends.


2. Favorite song? Why?
Currently my favorite song is Deep River by Vocal Majority... or anything by Vocal Majority.  But I LOVE the opening harmonies of their Deep River.

3. France or Italy? Why?
France.  Because, Belle.  Beauty and the Beast.  Gorgeousness.


4. Nickname or given name? Why?
Do I use a nickname or given name, or do I prefer a nickname or given name?  Some of my friends call me Peachy because my family used to call me that when I was little.  And when I was little, my grandpa called me "Sweetheart", and now my best friend calls me that a good amount of the time (haha, that sounds weird,  but it's true).  But I use my given name on a day-to-day basis.


5. Favorite color? Why?
My favorite color right now is emerald green.  It will probably change, but I'm kind of obsessed with it at the moment.  Long-time favorites include lemon-y yellow paired with different shades of blue.  Oh, and I love royal purple and lavender (by themselves).


6. Three names you like? Why?
Can I use combos?  Hehe...

Joseph Ray is my favorite boy's combo right now. Joseph is my all-time favorite boys' name, and Ray is after my dad and grandpa.

Mary Eleanore or Eleanore Mary (probably the first) is my second-favorite girls' name.  My dad's maternal grandmother was Mary Norene, and my mom's maternal grandmother was Eleanore.  I never got to meet them, but I've heard many stories and I'm currently finishing a baby quilt my Grandma Mary started.  I think it would be special to have a girl named Mary and give her the quilt my Grandma Mary made.

My third, very favorite, best, most lovely, FAVORITE NAME IN THE UNIVERSE is Theodosia Irene.  It's a long story, but I L.O.V.E. I.T.


7. What animal would you be? Why?
A cat.  Cause...naps.  and fur.  I'd never be cold.


8. Courting or dating? Why?
I've talked about this extensively between my friends and in Junior High classes (ahhh, the good old days of 6th grade relationship talks...), and I've decided I'm kind of in favor of a mix.  I want to have strong, good boundaries (holding hands, hugging, maybe a kiss on the cheek), but I don't want my first kiss to be in front of all our friends and family at our wedding (so like, maybe the morning of?  Haha).  Likewise, I want both of our families heavily involved (I'd especially appreciate it if my man talked to my dad about dating me and asking for my hand), but I don't want them to tag along on e.v.e.r.y. s.i.n.g.l.e. outing.  Some people act differently when you're with a group versus alone, and I don't want to cause stress between my parents or his for feeling like they have to be there.  That said, I really DON'T want to put myself in situations where I'm tempted to do something I shouldn't.  So....yeah.  A mix.  :P


9. Do you support our President?
Yes.  I might not approve of everything he does, but yes, I support him.


10. Something you like about Promise? Why? ;)
I would say, "The way she has stuck with me through the years", but you said "like" and I love that about her.  :D  So I guess I'll have to stick with the way she says "meep" and calls me "fluffy" occasionally.

Nah, really, Promise's always been there, even during the tough times.  I'm eternally grateful for that and I love her for it.  :)
