You don’t find too many pure-bred Georgia folks. That’s awesome.

Keri…I’m from Hawaii, but I live in Federal Way, a suburb of Seattle
Song: We Could Runaway by NeedtoBreathe
Perfect day: Laying on the beach in Kailua, followed by Island Snow, late night ukulele jam session at the bonfire
Favorite show: Friday Night Lights
Vacay: I’ve been to so many places, and there is something to love about all of them. But, my next dream vacay is Australia/New Zealand with my whole extended family (I know, I’m crazy)
Toy: Cash register…now, does my phone count?! :)
Advice: in the words of Israel Houghton: Love God, Love People
Hollywood: Can I go for singer instead, because I would pick Taylor Swift, who I love and who is currently touring with my all time favorite band, NeedtoBreate!
Me: Silly, Loyal, and Passionate (sounds like a dog!)
Keri recently posted..The Time I Made a Latte for Bill Nye the Science Guy
Keri…. love that Needtobreathe song. I really like their latest album, but when I hear “The Heat” every once in a while, I think that album is just as good.
Friday Night Lights? You know, I’ve heard really good things about that show.
And, hey- T-Swift is an actress…. she was in that movie Valentines Day (my wife’s pick, I promise!)
I second Keri’s motion! I’m trying to build up my blog readership/writing platform a bit, so I’m curious as well: how did you get so many readers so quickly?

10. Only three? Passionate (about many things). Fun (to be around). Caring.
6.
Bill, love #4 – those are so important.
Also, a little tidbit about myself… I met MacGyver at an LA Kings hockey game when we lived out in California (don’t remember how old I was… probably like 20 years ago). I was so geeked. :)
I would like to meet him although I suspect I may be somewhat disappointed since our way of life is so different. But I would like to meet him nonetheless.
correction: I forgot to mention that one of my all-time favorite songs is “Carry On Wayward Son” by Kansas now covered by Stryper. :) I also like Open Arms by Journey.
#9 should be NO desire. What a diff one word makes.

Susan recently posted..My Birthday Ebenezer – Part I
Awesome, thanks for sharing those things Susan. I think a lot of people (myself included) would love to spend a day just dreaming (and some of those other things you mentioned)…
Portugal, huh? That is really cool. Spending 11 years in one place… I can imagine a little “homesick-ness” every once in a while…
1. My name’s Zena (or Zee) and I’m from Ukraine (written without the “the”)
2. Humm… “I Feel Good” by Accapella – it’s a song that has been my “happy song” for over a decade now. Whenever I feel good, I find myself singing that (in all the voices).
3. Sitting with a book and my best friend on a sea shore and enjoying the warm sunshine and laughter.
4. Ability to laugh sincerely and loyalty
5. Highlander. The character… two – Xena the Warrior Princess (for obvious reasons, besides she’s cool) and Duncan McLeod (for his courage, loyalty, and handsomeness)
6. Never really taken a vacation… All my “vacations” were spent either in children’s camps or with Work&Witness teams, so I’d say a Work&Witness team somewhere in South America. I’d take my best friend Anne with me.
7. I had a Texas Instruments’ computer which taught English. I loved playing with it and learning stuff. Now… puppets – animal ones – those are amazing for the kiddos in the Sunday School! :D (and just per se…)
8. Not my original, it came from our missionary’s grandma – “If you can – you must.”
9. Daniel Radcliffe… although I am not sure whether he’s a Hollywood actor or a British one…
10. Books.Tea.Laughter
Zee recently posted..dangerous beauty
Highlander…. I can’t help but think of talladega nights…. :)
Zee, #4 is awesome. I like that a lot!
6 weeks? That’s it! Wow. You totally rock the community thing Dustin.
1. Michelle, Minnesota
2. Vivaldi Four Seasons (no words makes it much more tolerable!)
3. Doing something fun with the family and no fighting! LOL
4. honesty, being real, yet still showing compassion.
5. 21 Jump Street. Johnny Depp’s character. He was like my teenage crush until he got all greasy.
6. I would love to go to the Bahamas or any other place that is warm and there is a beach. I’d take my hubby and yeah, ok the kids too. LOL
7. Barbie dolls (oiy). Now, my favorite toy is the computer.
8. Draw near to God and he will draw near to you.
9. Joey Deschanel…she has an awesome voice and she’s cute.
10. loving, emo, weirdo..ha ha (the ha ha was for extra affect)
Michelle recently posted..A Hard Week
No fighting… LOL.
“got all greasy” HA! (I actually agree with you… :))
Too funny.
1. Jennifer and I’m from Snellville, but I currently live in Braselton.
2. Banana Pancakes by Jack Johnson, it just puts me in a good mood no matter what.
3. Spending the day outside with my family when the temperature is 70-75 degrees.Just relaxing with them and not having any plans.
4.Their Character, it kinda is a deal breaker for me. I would rather have a few quality people around me than a whole bunch of fake people surrounding me.
5. Friends, hmmmm all of them, it wouldn’t be friends with out on of them. That’s why I like the show.
6. Fiji, with my husband.
7. My Little Ponies, and now, my iPad
8. Communicate
9. Mandy Moore, she seems to have a good balance in her life, she’s not that flashy and looking for attention, fairly private, but with the benefits of being an actress.
10. Type A (ha, ha Jen will agree), nuturing, problem solver ( I know that’s 4, but I’m going to make the last one a compound word!
#6 now that would be sweet!
#10 type a…yeah you and jen are like sisters… :)
1. What is your name and where are you from? Sandy Collum Sandmeyer from Stratford, CT, but living in Pinellas Park, FL
2. If you could have one song on repeat for the rest of your life, what would it be? That is such a hard one because I love music, listen to it all day long, and can’t live without it. Probably something praise and worship, but not too light.
3. Describe your perfect day. Any day I can spend with my family and just being together is a wonderful day.
4. What do you value most in other people? Their love and friendship.
5. What is your favorite TV show of all time? Who is your favorite character? Love the old Looney Tunes. I could watch those over and over again.
6. If you could vacation anywhere in the world, where would you go and who would you go with? My dream trip would be to Ireland with my husband, Scott. I have always wanted to see Ireland, the green, the ancient history, the romance.
7. What was your favorite toy as a child…and now? My bear, Beary, was my favorite stuffed animal. I slept with him until I was 19 and then had to put him away because he was so tattered. Luckily, my husband didn’t get that tattered after 19 years, or did he?! Favorite toy now…the computer game!
8. If you could give the world once piece of advice, what would it be? Communicate!
9. If you could trade places with a Hollywood actor for a year, who would it be? I’m not much into Hollywood. I would rather trade places with a musician; maybe Amy Grant.
10. Describe yourself in three words. Friend to all!

I live in Monroe, GA(@25 miles from Athens/UGA) Where are you?

Ok, first of all…seriously! You started this blog 6 weeks ago?! What did you do to get everyone so chatty? Did you have another blog before? You are my new blogging hero!
Now, on to the questions:
1. Melissa Brotherton and I’m originally from WA but currently reside in So Cal.
2. Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For – U2, Rattle & Hum
3. All of my kids sleep in, allowing me to sleep in. Then we have a yummy breakfast (which I make but don’t have to clean up after). We spend the day with friends and family at my grandpa’s house; swimming in the pool and BBQing. Then, at night we have a bonfire and sing worship songs, and eat s’mores. That would be a fantastic day! :)
4. Honesty
5. I’m totally addicted to NCIS right now. I can watch those episodes over and over. But my favorite TV character of all time would be Rachel from Friends.
6. I really hope to tour Europe someday with my husband.
7. My favorite toy was my two-wheeler I got for my 10th birthday. Today it would be my iPhone…I can’t wait to get another one!
8. Trust God.

10. Sassy. Extravertedly-Introverted. Chatty.
Melissa Brotherton recently posted..Check for a Pulse
Ha! I wish I knew….but I like it! :) (this is my first blog)
You said two important things…. “don’t have to clean up” and “BBQ” — two excellent additions to a great day!
1. Clay Harryman – Yewsten, TX
2. As much as I love music, I don’t know that I could handle ANY song on repeat for the rest of my life.
3. Perfect day. Sunshine, 75F. Camping with my kids at Garner State Park. Relaxing in a hammock under a tree.
4. Authenticity
5. Night Court. Bull.
6. Mountains. I don’t care which one. With my wife and kids.
7. Fireworks (I know…). past and present…
8. Little children, love one another.
9. I don’t think I’d want to. But if I had to, probably Gene Wilder simply for his faithfulness to his wife.
10. A low-down sinner.
HarryClayman recently posted..not the Last Word on Love
I looked up Garner State Park…. the pictures look gorgeous!
And I’m sure you’re not alone with the Fireworks. No matter how old you are, they are mesmerizing!

Dude, I had no idea you’d only been at this thing for 6 weeks – that is crazy man! I think I know your formula though, not too hard to figure it out. You spend a lot of time on other people’s blogs, you take an interest in them and they, in turn, find you. It’s something I’ve tried to emulate too, not to get 100 comments or have a 1000 page views, but to develop friendships and community as you have here. Just wish I had more time to dedicate to it. ;) Keep it up bro, it’s working!
thanks nathan, appreciate you!
dustin recently posted..Kingdom Speak
It’s late, unfortunately I’ve been behind =(
1. Alex Humphrey from Dallas, TX
2. “Drops of Jupiter” – Train
3. Spent waking up around 8, eating a delicious breakfast with my fiancee, then spending a few hours with God before I go for a walk. afterwards I come home write, spend time with the fiancee (who in this version of the world is my wife) and maybe grab dinner with some close friends.
4. Good communications kills (both in speaking and listening)
5. Scrubs. J.D.’s my favorite
6. Jamaica with my wife on our honey moon! Wait, that’s already about to happen! (sorry, can’t think of anything more awesome than that right now)
7. Legos. Now it’s my books!
8. Give yourself up to God completely. It’s worth it.
9. the dude from 500 days of summer. He’s in some of the best movies!
10. faithful, reliable, future-oriented (had to use a – to get that last one. Hope it counts!)
Alex Humphrey recently posted..Cross the Line
