I know that everyone has a million tags to do, so I'm not going to tag anyone. But if you feel like doing this, consider yourself tagged!! What makes you happy happy happy?!
Aw, thanks, so happy I can make you happy! ;) We haven't watched Duck Dynasty in awhile, though my husband loves it, especially Phil. And I want to visit Charlotte (and Charleston) someday!
ReplyDeletePhil is the bomb.com. Charlotte is gorgeous! Belmont Abbey is right by it, so you should definitely come visit me if you end up going while I'm in school (if I go there) ;)
DeleteI love this tag, it's so cute <3
ReplyDelete~Noor
Thanks for commenting!
DeleteD'aww, Ingrid Michaelson and Taylor Swift's music give me the warm fuzzies, too. And the Avengers. And Tangled (the Avengers really could learn some combat skills from Rapunzel and her frying pan).
ReplyDeleteAnd question: what is Duck Dynasty? I've been hearing that show for awhile now but I have no idea what it is. My science teacher says not to really watch it, though.
xoxo Morning
TRUE (about the Avengers and learning from the frying pan). Truer words have never been spoken.
DeleteDuck Dynasty is so good! It's just so real-- real people, real struggles. It's so funny and actually, it's really inspiring for writing dialogue, because of the way that they all communicate. Plus the faith aspect is there, which is super awesome, so I love to support it.
*happy feelings* Thanks for including me!
ReplyDeleteOoh, yes about For King and Country! I got to see them live this year and it was super awesome. They are VERY energetic.
And I had to laugh that two of your happy books involved lots of tears. xD
I've seen them at least twice (maybe three time?)...they're seriously amazing!! And oh my goodness, right, I didn't even think of that...but actually I think I cried during all of those books.
DeleteI actually love very sad books, though. It's weird, but I think sad books make the story more memorable in a way? I got you, girl. ;)
DeleteThis was a really fun tag! I love the Avengers, too! I haven't seen the second one yet, but only one more month until it comes out on DVD...
ReplyDeleteI like your booklist! I just bought A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, and I'm looking forward to reading it!
Thanks for including me! :)
I'd love to hear what you think about ATGIB, it's such an amazing book. =)
DeleteThis is such a sweet tag, I loved reading all you answers. I am a huge fan of Duck Dynasty too.
ReplyDeleteI was pleasantly surprised to see my name.
That made me happy happy happy.
:D
So much happy! Thanks for doing the tag :) Avengers are defiantly a big source of happy.
ReplyDeleteI can tell you're happy. Your profile pic always makes me smile too. Glad I'm one of the bloggers who make you happy.
ReplyDeleteAnd I want to try some Rita's Italian Ice!!!
*shrieks like a pterodactyl* MMMMMERLINNNN!!! How far have you ever watched that show? Have you finished it? OhMahGawsh, that show, YES. XD AND BBC'S PRIDE AND PREJUDICE IS THE BEST! *cough* alright, I'm ok. X)
ReplyDeleteAlso, looking at your "happy classes" list, it looks like you're in your....last year of highschool? Yes no maybe so? Lol just curious.
What a super happy happy happy post, Anne Marie - you've got me smiling ear to ear.
ReplyDeleteI'm a huge fan of the Book Sense and Sensibility, and have watched the BBC version of Pride and Prejudice a billion times - seriously. I'm a fan of all things Jane Austen.
Thank you for adding me to your list of Bloggers that make you happy happy happy. Back at you! :) :) :)
I hope this finds you in a very happy place, smiling, joyful and blessed.
Sending along some hugs too, Jenny. xo
