Featured Friend

This latest featured friend is one of my longest friends. She has been one of the biggest blessings in my life. And I hope when we are Ba's age we are still friends. My favorite thing about Sharpie is her wit, if you know her...you know what I mean. We have too many memories to share them all, but one that I will never forget is- One winter Sharpie locked her keys in her car, with it running, while we were in the Applebee's for about 3 hours. When the police came and finally jimmied the lock Sharpie goes "well, ange at least the cars warm"! After that event her dad, the famous David Sharp, made me a spare key to Sarah's car. :)

1. Full Name: Sarah Elizabeth Sharp (soon to be Sarah Lucia Smith…I have to go to the SS office and have it legally changed. I’ve been married for 6 months and still have not done this.)
2. Favorite place to eat lunch? Chili’s is really good…..oh or Albie’s
3. what is your worst habit? Not picking up after myself…which is why my house if often messy
4. what is currently on your things to read list? Anything by Jeff Shaara, C.S. Lewis or Agatha Christie. More specifically? This book I have on the Cold War….I can’t remember what it’s called though
5. how do we know each other? 7th grade caregroup is where it all started. I remember hanging out with you for the first time at the Lohmanns’ group, and oddly enough I remember what I was wearing Weird. But, since then, it has been a wonderful (and adventurous) friendship. Lots of memories to laugh about
6. if you could star in a musical which one would it be, and what character would you play? Oh I do not know. Let’s say Phantom….and I’ll be that girl…
7. taylor swift or carrie underwood? Neither really. But since I have to pick one, Taylor Swift.
8. Favorite tv series? Right now it would be Life. It stars Damein Lewis, who was also in Band of Brothers, and I think he is a phenomenal actor.
9. if you could choose 4 famous people (dead or alive) to have dinner with, who would you pick? C.S. Lewis, Abraham Lincoln, George Washington, and Abigail Adams
10. what is something on your bucket list you haven't accomplished yet? I would need to look at my bucket list…which I do not have with me ummm….can I pick one from Mike’s bucket list? He said he will kiss me on top of the Empire State building one day. I am waiting for that one…
11. biggest change or goal in 2009? Well, the goal for 2009 is to somehow buy a house And I define “goal” very loosely, as we do not know how that will happen, but we trust that if God is leading us in that direction, He will provide!
