We got the fever...

Emily: I think you think about babies like 90% of the time.

Me: It's true.

Emily: It's like me with food.

Yellow and orange

Yellow: Seven facts about my childhood.

I was always the peace maker. In friendships, in the classroom. With friends, I always found a compromise that made both unhappy parties, happy. In the classroom, I was always put between the two trouble makers who couldn’t get through a day without yelling at or cheating off of each other. (Putting me there didn’t help the cheating thing.)

I got my first homework notice (is this a thing at all schools?) in fifth grade, and I was completely devastated because I had legitimately done the homework, but then promptly lost it in our van.

I gave my sister a bloody nose in the back seat of our van on accident on our way to Wisconsin Dells.

Camping was a huge part of my growing up.

I was in girl scouts for three years.

My favorite stuffed animal was a white teddy bear named Teddy. He was a Christmas present from family friends when I was 5 or 6. When I cried, I always had him. Even through and past high school.

I loved when I got a loose tooth. I loved pulling teeth. (Maybe I missed my dentist calling… :P Just kidding…)

Orange: Six facts about my hometown.

Town of 1,500.

My class sizes consisted of…Elementary — Roughly 40 kidsJunior High — Roughly 60 kidsHigh School — Roughly 90-100 kids, graduating size(We were a consolidated school district)

Trent’s family is actually a big family in my hometown, but we didn’t meet until Geometry class freshman year. (He lived 20 minutes down the road.)

Until the last five years, we had two places to rent movies: the grocery store (which is no longer open) and the gas station (which no longer has rentals).

The cemetery, which is on the very edge of town, is one of the most peaceful places to take a stroll. It isn’t gloomy It’s actually pretty full of the life of flowers, grass, and trees all around.

Walnut used to be a happening place: bowling alley, Pizza Hut… That’s mostly it. But everything except the Pizza Hut left by the time we moved there (when I was in first grade). The Pizza Hut left by the time I was in fifth grade.

Your second answer entertained me even though it was conclusionless. I like it :D

Hahaha. I'm glad it entertained you. That question freaked me out! I feel like I was assigning myself to some kind of life goal if I assigned myself to a fictional character!

Keep placing all these poop feelings at Gods feet. He's going to take them all and turn it into joy even if it feels so far from that. Promise.
