Getting to know “U” (SQUAD SURVEY)
What is your favorite season and why?
Summer! I enjoy being outside and in the sun. I love all the fun activities that go along with summer, especially going to the beach or Cedar Point. One of my favorite things about warmer weather (meaning any outside temp above 45 or so) is FLIP FLOPS! I hate to wear socks! They are cute n'all but I don't like to wear them! haha My feet like to be as naked as possible!
Where is the coolest place you’ve ever been?
This is a really hard one because I’ve been really blessed to experience lots of cool places. My top 3 are Nias, Indonesia on my 19th birthday where we slept in huts on the ocean, ate banana pancakes **cue Jack Johnson song here** and learned to surf (or at least fall down trying!). Also in my top three is Cyprus because it was absolutely, need to pinch myself, beautiful. Last, but not least, is the top of the 14er I somehow managed to scale in Colorado. It felt like a dream when we reached the top and it wasn’t because of the altitude sickness!
What is your favorite iPhone (or subpar alternative) app?
First of all, I’d be tempted to take offense to that if I were actually enjoying owning my android phone. Second of all, I really like the UVersion Bible app. It has some really great reading plans. I really like Pandora as well.
What was your favorite food when you were a child?
Well, some people like to call me a “cheese-a-holic”. I pretty much love cheese now as much as I did when I was a kid. My family would go to Amish country and my favorite part was the free samples.
What’s your favorite food now?
^^refer back to answer above^^ No really. I also really like sushi, my family’s recipe of red velvet cake, and chicken paprikas!
What is your biggest pet peeve?
When you are having a conversation with someone and they get a text and they stop talking to respond to it. I can understand if its super duper important but I think its more polite to focus on the person you are actually in the room with. I just recently realized this really bothers me, so I’ve been trying to be intentional to not do this to other people.
Do you have any strange habits/quirks?
hmm…sometimes I randomly break out into song with lyrics that are similar to something someone just said. haha and sometimes I laugh at how crazy I am!
If 10 of your friends asked to describe you in one word, what would be the most common response?
I think they would say that I’m caring maybe? And silly probably!
