Unique Blogger Award

So waaaaaaaaay back in November, Shantelle tagged me for this. 

 After a few months absence, I have decided to give blogging one more try, so... Better late than never. Right?

 

Anywho. Rules:

Ask 3 questions

1. What are you passionate about? Tell us all about it!

 I'm an American history geek. I'm not ashamed to say it. 

Typically, I am the most passionate about the wars in America's pasts, but some peaceful times catch my interest as well. (The Lewis and Clark Expedition<33333, The Oregon Trail, Jim Bridger and other mountain men, The Great Depression; if that's considered peaceful...) 

 I used to be a huge Civil War fanatic, and I still am, mind you, but the war that grabs at my heart and mind is definitely the Second World War. 

 I mean, they were called the Greatest Generation for a reason, and they deserve to be remembered. <3

2. What is one of the best books, novel or nonfiction, that you've read in your lifetime? What is it you love about it?

That's a tough one.....I've read so many books. 

Uncle Tom's Cabin is a book that never fails to dig deep into my heart and reminds me of how strong the love of Christ can be. It gives us the strength to forgive even the most wicked enemy.

I just know I'm going to think of six more after I click the 'publish' button. *shrugs*

3. What is your favorite holiday? Why

I'd have to say either Christmas or Independence Day. 

 Christmas is kind of a given. Who doesn't love the warm feeling it brings, as the household buzzes around, preparing for the holiday? The smells, sounds, and sights are something that stays in your mind for years. 

 Independence Day has always been an exciting time for me. Maybe because I'm such a patriot? I don't know. 

 There's something about the smell of gunpowder, the sound of fireworks, the speeches and songs that make your heart swell and you sincerely pray, 'God bless America'.
