#7 What Makes You Happy?

my religion, my family, my friends, my people, my house, slc, logan, harbor springs, books, music, outside, good conversations
mostly just being with my people, reading good stories, in beautiful environments, and listening to music. that is just a big bowl of contentment and happiness right there don't you think?

#6 Pet Peeves

If you asked Mary she would make fun of me because I say just about everything is "my worst thing" or as Jordan just said, "what aren't your pet peeves?" but I would say my number one thing is....

When people start to say something and then stop and refuse to continue... SO ANNOYING if you are going to start saying something you better finish it. Goodness I hate that.

When people won't stick up for themselves or others.

When people tell me what to do

BAD TIPPERS

When people's voices sound different than they usually do.. Yeah that is a weird one, but it really bugs me.

Sometimes the way people just choose to live their lives is a pet peeve to me. Haha just kidding... sort of.

#5 What Song Inspires You?

There are so many songs that inspire me that I don't even know where to start. So I will name a few as I think of them

The Dance by Garth Brooks 
Fire and Rain by James Taylor 
I am obsessed with Beautiful Goodbye by Maroon 5 right now. Such a beautiful song. 
The whole Les Mis soundtrack!
Defying Gravity from Wicked and basically that whole soundtrack 
Come, Come Ye Saints
The Star Spangled Banner haha but really
 and I dunno. I LOVE music. It just makes me happy and can get you through a lot of stuff. All music inspires me.

#4 Your Parents

These are my parents Michael Wade Duffy and Julie Dahn Duffy.

Aren't they the cutest? They are high school sweethearts and have been married for 32 years now, I think it is. They are the perfect example to me of commitment, love, sacrifice, humor, and spirituality. I lucked out in having the best parents in the world. I am not kidding, they are freaking rockstars. My sisters and I are really blessed to call them our mom and dad. I am so proud to be the daughter of Mike and Julie Duffy. I love them more than anything on this planet. I miss them a lot.

#3 Your First Love?

Well people, I think it is safe to say I have never been in love. But three boys really made an impact on my heart growing up.

The first was Jaxson Judkins. Next door neighbor. First crush, Best friends. My oldest friend. He always looks out for me. Probably one of the best boys I know. We are still good friends to this day and probably always will be. I think we will always have each other's backs.

In elementary school it was ALWAYS Brian Orr. Another neighbor. We loved each other. He would pick up cute little things he would find off the ground and give them to me. I put them in my "love box" which I still have to this day. He gave me a teddy bear for my birthday one year. It was actually really cute how much we liked each other and we were so young. We are still good friends, and I think I will always have a little crush on him. He is on a mission right now in Brazil and I hear he is doing awesome. I need to write him.

I guess I have to mention William Bekker. Haha he really has been a huge part of my life. We started whatever it is between us in 9th grade. We are so different and sometimes I still wonder how I ended up liking him so much, but I did. He is now on a mission in Norway and I just recently got a letter from him and he's doing great.

I can't wait to really really fall in love with someone. Anyone who knows me knows that I love love! It's the most beautiful thing in the world after all.
