i'm passing test

so, i am getting married and we are having a wedding hence the lack of recent blog post. one of dominick's groomsmen lives out of state and i have not yet had the pleasure of meeting him. since the wedding will be our first meeting he took it upon himself to get to know me a little better/see if i am good enough for his friend. this was the facebook interchange between us and i thought you might all enjoy it. it made us (mike, dominick and myself) laugh.

also he told dom that if i didnt pass his test he would be forced to release a wolverine during our wedding.

So, I am very sad that i don't know you...and that ill first meet you when i'm in your wedding(which I'm very happy about.) So i decided to facebook you a few questions...like a get to know chelsea better quiz.
1. Favorite color
2. Favorite Band
3. Which do you think would win in a fight a bear or Dom.
. Apples or oranges
5. Winter or summer
6. Superman or Batman
7. Why do you follow god?
8. Who would win in an arm wrestling match, the statue of liberty or king kong
9. The Office...best show ever, or who cares?
10. Last question... Is dom's friend mike crazy...or dom's coolest most awesomest friend ever?

thats all, good luck and god speed.

Mike,
I am also sad that we don't know each other. Dom speaks very highly of you and honestly I am pretty intimidated/nervous about the man love between you two. I will gladly take your test and hope to pass with flying colors. Should I fail and you feel forced to inform Dominick that I am not cool enough for him be warned that I will then be forced to kill you. :/

1. baby blue and green (mainly the color of a clean sky and trees)

2. this one is pretty hard. I dont think I can list just one so i have broken down some categories:-favorite band to see live:MuteMath
-favorite single man singer-George Strait
-favorite country band-Randy Rogers Band
-favorite when i'm mellow and happy- Joshua Radin
-mostly played in my car are mixes of mae, anberlin, david gray, cross canadian ragweed, bob marley, death cab for cutie, lady antebellum
-favorite music for worship-shane and shane, shawn mcdonald, dominick adamo

3. the bear if it were a fair fight, dom if it was prison rules

4. yes please

5. summer- I love to play outside and swimming and the ocean and being able to wear sandals. However I have never lived in a pretty place during the winter were snow is a regular and I truly believe that if I lived somewhere were it could be winter and you could still play outside because there is snow and not just ice falling from the sky that I would enjoy winter much more.

6. Batman, he was really just a man with no special powers just smart gadgets and a lot of bravery.

7. Because without God, his son Jesus Christ who is my savior, my life would be pointless/hopeless/depressing instead of being joyful/hopeful/with purpose.

8. King Kong. This probably makes me the worst feminist ever but women can't/shouldn't be able to, beat men at arm wrestling. Even if they are tough women who stand for liberty.

9.Up until about a year ago I would have said The Office is the best show ever. While it still ranks in my top four it's position as my favorite show has seriously been challenged this fall by 30 Rock, Parks and Recreation and Community. Definitely not "who cares?" It is still a work of awkward genius.

10. Dom's friend Mike is the coolest of Dom's friend as well as the one I feel most challenged by for the position as "The love of Dominick's life." \

hope this helps in my winning your approval. looking forward to meeting you,

Chelsea

chelsea...i just informed dom, that you are for sure, funnier then him. well done you passed with flying colors. my favorite was the reference to "prison rules" because in my world, those are the only rules. look forward to meeting you soon too
