Sunday Social: Blast from the Past

It's Sunday, which means it's time to link up with Neely and Ashley for Sunday Social! I'm having so much fun linking up each week and finding some great blogs to follow along the way!


1. What was your first car? I was very hesitant to learn how to drive, so I wasn't anxiously awaiting my 16th birthday like most teenagers typically do. I got my first car during my junior year of high school (2002), and it was a black 1993 Ford Mustang.

2. Who was your favorite childhood teacher? Without a doubt, Mrs. Brown...my kindergarten teacher. She was probably the teacher that most inspired me to become a teacher.

3. Were you involved in any sports/extracurricular activities? In middle school, I played the trumpet, sang in the choir, and played volleyball and basketball. In high school, I was in colorguard during marching season and played the trumpet during concert season. I also participated in UIL Spelling from elementary through high school.

I still have the same dream about once a month where I'm in band getting ready to perform, and I don't have my uniform on or know any of my colorguard routine. Freaks me out EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.

4. What was your favorite birthday party? I don't have one favorite birthday party, but I do have a special memory from my childhood birthdays. If our birthday fell on a school day, my sister, my cousin, and I would go out to my memaw and papaw's house where there would be one of those cookie cakes waiting for us. We got to eat the cookie cake and open some presents. It was something I always looked forward to. Mmmm...now I want some cookie cake!

Okay, I never find anything with my name on it, but it's on a stock picture of a cookie cake! Meant to be...

5. Who was your teen celebrity crush? J.C. Chasez...my walls were plastered with pictures of him

If they do a reunion tour, I will forgive them for these overalls.

6. What show/movie did your parents not allow you to watch? There's Something About Mary...I was 13 when it came out, and I remember going to my aunt's house with my mom. They made my sister and I go play with our cousins in the other room while they watched it. I was so mad because I could hear them laughing in there, and I wanted to know what was so funny! When I was older and finally watched it, I realized why I shouldn't have been watching it at the age of 13!
