These Are A Few Of Our Favorite Things

Get to know us! We are sharing a few of our favorite things in a variety of categories. See how many of our favorites are also yours!

Book

• Dan: "The Screwtape Letters" by C.S. Lewis or "Ender's Game" by Orson Scott Card. (No, he has not seen the movie :)
• Carrie: The "Christian Heroes Then & Now" series by Janet & Geoff Benge.
• Sarah: This is my least-favorite thing to pick a favorite for because I read SO. MANY. BOOKS! I've always said "The Bronze Bow" by Elizabeth George Speare but now I think it might be "Full Disclosure" by Dee Henderson.
• Joe: "The Blades of Acktar" series by Tricia Mingerink.
• Mark: "The Warrior Poet Way" by John Lovell & the "Mistborn" trilogy by Brandon Sanderson.

Movie

• Carrie: One of my favorites from my childhood is "Annie "(1982) but a more current favorite is "One Night With The King".
• Sarah: I have three go-to, comfort movies :) "When The Game Stands Tall", "Ice Princess", & "October Baby". Oh, and "Little Women (1994)"!
• Joe: Impossible to pick a top one but, "The Avengers", "Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol", and "How To Train Your Dragon" are all up there.
• Mark: "The Dark Knight" & "Captain America: Winter Soldier"
• Dan: "Megamind" or "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy

Season

• Sarah: Winter. I love snow, comfy sweaters, and I much prefer being cold to being hot.
• Joe: Fall. I like cold better than hot so going from warm to cool is nice. Also, hoodies!
• Mark: Fall. It has the nicest weather with the least amount of rain (compared to spring).
• Dan: Spring.
• Carrie: Winter. I love the snow and cold weather so that I can wear comfy clothes and curl up in a blanket to read or watch a movie.

Color

• Joe: Orange & Blue, but deep, vibrant shades.
• Mark: Black. Or sometimes very, very dark gray :)
• Dan: Dark Blue
• Carrie: It kind of depends on the thing but probably purple, dark green, navy blue, or burgundy. I like jewel tones :)
• Sarah: Purple. You'd never know that by my closet but it is. I'm super picky about my purples and tend to lean toward blue-purples as opposed to red-purples.

Food

• Mark: Potatoes. In any form. "Boil 'em, mash 'em, stick 'em in a stew."
  
• Dan: Pizza. There are so many ways to make pizza and I like them all!
• Carrie: Omelettes, salad (but especially a Buddy's antipasto), and smothered grilled chicken.
• Sarah: I don't really have a favorite meal but my favorite snack is popcorn.
• Joe: In no particular order, tacos, pizza, and hamburgers.
  

Place You've Visited

• Dan: Glacier National Park
• Carrie: I can't pick between Montana, the Grand Canyon, the Rocky Mountains, & Lake Michigan.
• Sarah: Oooh this is HARD! It's probably a tie between Lower Antelope Canyon and Mackinac Island.
• Joe: Also in no particular order, Mackinac Island, the Grand Canyon, and any Great Lake. I don't have a preference. Pick one and stick me in it.
• Mark: The Grand Canyon and Silver Lake Sand Dunes.

Animal

• Carrie: Elephants! I like how they are so big but seem so graceful.
• Sarah: Red Pandas!!!! I want one as a pet. At the very least I want to go somewhere where I can pet one someday.
• Joe: Real - Siberian Tiger. Fake - Dragon.
• Mark: Pangolin (because they remind me of tiny dragons :)
• Dan: Cow. Very useful!

Holiday

• Sarah: Easter. It is my favorite church service of the year and, in my opinion, has the best music.
• Joe: Either Labor Day because BOOM, or Christmas because nostalgia. Probably Christmas more.
• Mark: Independence Day
• Dan: Easter
• Carrie: Easter because Jesus wins!
