Kar's Questions:
1. How do you deal with nerves/anxiety?
Unfortunately it takes me a little bit longer than I'd like to realize that I'm "freaking out" from anxiety or nerves but once I'm able to realize it I feel like I am able to deal with it better if I talk to friends/family about what is stressing me out. The longer I keep it in the worse I feel. Usually while voicing what is bothering me I can see how I'm being ridiculous and I can usually calm myself down and then my friends help validate my anxieties.
2. When something totally awesome happens, who are the top 5 people you want to tell?

My Mom, Dad, Karlie, Anisa and Kaylyn
3. When you are having a rough day, what is the one thing you can always do that will cheer you up?
Listen to the song Red Red Wine by UB40. For some reason that song ALWAYS makes me feel good. Perfect vacation on the beach song. If only I drank red wine.

4. What is your favorite memory from Elementary School years?
Honestly, one of my favorite memories from elementary school is when we would play SLAM during lunch. Eventually we got to be good enough to play against a teacher and that was a huge victory in and of itself.
5. If you could get paid to do absolutely anything, what would you want to get paid for doing?
5. If you could get paid to do absolutely anything, what would you want to get paid for doing?
I would love to get paid to do crafts or creative projects all day. I love making things, sewing, cooking, creating, etc. Or I'd love to have a business with my mom where we fix up houses and sell them. HGTV here we come!
6. What is one item that is always found in your purse that you always need?
6. What is one item that is always found in your purse that you always need?
My wallet. :) Other than that, I'm always searching for a hair elastic or bobby pin. I always seem to lose them and I can only last so long with my hair down in my face.
7. What do you do when you have absolutely nothing to do and are bored out of your mind?
Watch Netflix. I never thought I'd be such a Netflix junkie but I'm obsessed. I love watching random documentaries and trying out new TV shows.
8. What is your favorite month of the year?
July is tied with December. July is full of summer, corn on the cob, BBQ, family and fireworks which I can never get enough of. December is full of snow, scarves, sweaters, charity, selflessness, family and hot chocolate - a month full of warm fuzzies.
9. What are 3 words that describe you perfectly and why?
I'll describe myself physically because that's self explanatory and less awkward: blonde, white and mediumlyaverage (totally one word)
10. If you had to decorate one room and live in it for the rest of your life, what colors and theme would you give the room?
I would choose my bedroom which is connected to my bathroom.... does that count? haha and I would decorate it with a Beachy feel. Blues, lots of white, tan, flowy, light, relaxing and awesome.
11. If you were to go on a road trip where would you go and what would you do?
It is on my bucket list to visit each state in the United States. I don't want to just drive through each state and stop at their gas station, I want to visit something special and unique to that state. Amusement park, national park, crazy diners, historical landmark, infamous gems and movie scenes.

Facts About Me:
- I'm a scaredy cat when it comes to changing my hair color/cut. I have a slight panic attack after a bad hair cut and feel as if the world is over. I'm not sure why, but it is what it is.
- I have a hard time finishing projects.
- I love coupons and getting a killer deal.
- I like to be the center of attention if I am putting myself there, otherwise I hate it.
- My favorite flowers are Sunflowers and Daisies.
- I really like going shopping by myself.
- I'm terrible at gardening and don't care much for it.
- I don't like taking medication. I like to believe that my body can usually take care of itself.
- I have the potential to be a hoarder. Luckily I received my mom's joy of organizing so it doesn't get out of hand.
- I laugh at my own jokes. (because they are funny... duh)
- I don't like dealing with car issues, which I happen to have a lot of. I should probably date a mechanic.
