Thanks for all of the comments! I really enjoyed learning some random facts about all of you. I’ll probably do a “Fun on Sunday” post every other week, so check back for more questions :)
Linsday - I’ve loved Johnny Depp ever since the first time I saw Cry Baby, lol. Loved your “one word” weekly meme too.
Crystal - I love the classics too - Charlotte Bronte is one of my fav authors, and I think I’ve read Wuthering Heights at least 10 times. And I think we share the same brain because I really contemplated putting Sixteen Candles as my favorite movie. I LOVEEEEEE Long Duck Dong! “No more yanky my wanky, the Donger needs food!” LMAO! And I could listen to Otis Redding all day every day.
Ruby - I’m also a hat girl
Vintage - the Underworld series, Nick and Nora’s Infinite Playlist, and Resident Evil are at the top of my list - all great movies. I love Fireflight, Skillet, and Plumb! And congrats on Brayden Michael!
Andrea - very unique name choices - love them!
Precious - love Paramore!
Suey - I’m absolutely dying to go on another cruise! My future husband and I have talked about getting married on a cruise ship so I can run around in Jamaica and take pictures in my wedding dress, lol.
Nakesha - going check yours out in a minute. Thanks for stopping by!
Sandra - The Goonies completes me, lol. “Rocky Road?!?” I love Sloth! And you just convinced me to go to Vegas. I’ve never been there, but my best friend lives in Utah and she drives there at least three times a year. I’ll be giving her a call very soon, lol. Thanks for following!
Bookgirl (wish I knew your name, lol) - So glad you stopped by to answer these questions. I absolutely loveeeee learning things about people who don’t live in the U.S. I still can’t believe that you guys don’t have football there! Football is amazing! If you visit the U.S., you must go to a professional football game - you’ll have the time of your life (drinking beer, yelling at the top of your lungs, and eating all the hot dogs and nachos you can get your hands on)
Kyanara - you totally need to come to the U.S. and go to a professional football game too! I’m baffled that you guys don’t have football! Thanks for stopping by!
Jenny - I loveeee the classics! Jane Austen is amazing and Sense and Sensibility is one of my favs. And now I’m craving sushi.
Ms. Blasé - no problem, I know the feeling. My brain feels fried at least once a week, lol.

Mandy, that video was super fun! Those guys move better than I do and I'm a few years younger. LOL
And I don't know why I've always thought of Shiloh as a girl's name and Elliot as a boys, but it would be fun to mix them up.

10. FOOD? All food is my favorite. I just like food.
11. RESTAURANT? I could eat at McGuire's every day!
12. NAME? (BOY & GIRL) Oliver or Simon for a boy. Penelope or Clementine for a girl.
