Hello!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For our first post, we thought we would do a Q&A so that you can get to know us better!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. 3 fears?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amelia: Heights, public speaking, and change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mattie: Public speaking, big dogs, bugs (except for ladybugs and butterflies, of course).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. 5 things that you like\/make you happy right now?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A:Music, journaling, the warm weather, skateboarding, Adventures in Odyssey!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

M: Reading a lot more than I have been in a long time, journaling, rollerblading again now that it is warmer, having the free trial of the Odyssey Adventure Club, playing the piano.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Dream Job<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A:to be a musician\/pianist <\/p>\n\n\n\n

M: My dream job would be a historical seamstress for movies or plays or something. Or a mom. Or both \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Top five hobbies and why you love them<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A:I love listening to music because I relate to music more than anything else, and I like playing music because it’s so fun and I hope to get good enough to get better at songwriting! I love to read because I love to hear other people’s point of view and read about other people’s lives that are both true and fictional. I love drawing because it’s so fun to be able to create things that never existed before! I love to longboard\/skateboard because it’s a very fun way to get outside and think or talk to people about things! And I like to knit because, though I am still a beginner, it’s fun to see different shapes and patterns form out of a ball of yarn and some needles! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

M: 1. Reading – I love being able to go on adventures all while sitting on my bed! I also love to learn and grow with the characters in the story. Sewing – For one, I love getting new clothes, like most girls my age do, but I also love to create. And being able to wear and be proud of something that I have made is nice! Drawing – A lot of the time I just draw historical dresses, or random faces, or book characters. I’m not super skilled at this hobby, and though I do all of my hobbies because I have fun, this is one that I mostly do just because it is fun. I like that I can create something without having to spend weeks working on it. Thrift Shopping – Not sure if this one is a hobby, but I love searching through people’s old stuff, finding old books and teacups and fabric, which are the three things I always search for. It also helps that everything is significantly cheaper (seriously, people buy books for twenty dollars??). Rollerblading – Something about rolling along really fast with the wind rushing past me is appealing. Rollerblading is faster than walking, and sometimes I just want to go as fast as I can.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Typical day in your current life<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A:A lot of my day is spent doing school work, but I also spend time pursuing my hobbies as well as any kind of work I have to do for the day! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

M: In the morning I read my Bible and pick up my room, or go to class depending on what day it is. It takes me a while to start school (I am not a morning person), but a lot of the day I spend doing school. I take a lot of breaks in between school where I read, sew, knit, journal, etc. At some point, Amelia and I usually take a walk or go rollerblading\/skateboarding. When I go to bed I always read for at least<\/em> 30 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. 5 Weaknesses and 5 strengths<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A:Weaknesses: verbalizing my thoughts, staying calm, having confidence, saying no, indecisive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Strengths: humorous, trustworthy, honest, loyal, thoughtful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

M: Weaknesses: bad at talking to people, staying consistent, trouble saying no, lack of confidence, indecisive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Strengths: helpful, resourceful, thoughtful, laid back, creative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. If you were an animal, what would you be and why?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A: A polar bear! (according to a quiz :D) <\/p>\n\n\n\n

M: Bear (? I took an animal quiz (which honestly, why did I do that?) and that was my answer, but I don’t really know if that is true!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

8. What is the thing you most wish you were great at? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A: Playing music  \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n

M: Sewing \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n

9. Where would you live if you could live anywhere and why?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A: I wouldn’t want to leave Idaho, but if I had to choose, I would want to live in a castle in Europe! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

M: I love living in Idaho, but if I had to choose I would want to live in Ireland or Scotland. I like the accents and the scenery is beautiful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

10. If you could have one superpower what would it be? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A: Probably the power to teleport because of all the places I want to go someday!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

M: Teleportation<\/p>\n\n\n\n

11. What do you think people misunderstand most about you?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A: People always think I’m very quiet and shy because I act that way in crowds and gatherings, but I’m very loud with my family and close friends!  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

M: People think that I am super quiet at home because I am super quiet when I am around other people, but you should here me! Singing, yelling, running up and down the stairs, the cacophony I can make is quite astonishing!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thank you for reading! We will be posting again soon!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
