Kevin Answers YOUR 13 Questions!

1. Do you love dogs? Yes

2. What is your Myers Briggs Type? ESFJ

3. What are Elizabeth’s traits that you admire most and why? Being my opposite to best be my compliment and helper. It is wonderful that we have common things that we both can share (likes and dislikes), but it is more wonderful for there to be aspects of her that I do not necessarily have (like hospitality) whereby she can compliment me and I her. There have been times where I have thought how easy it would be to have someone that was just like me, but then I think how annoying it would be and how easy doesn’t always equal better or best.

4. What was the very first thing that attracted you to Elizabeth? I am not gonna lie…right off the bat, it was her beauty, but once I got to know her more, she became more and more attractive to me.

5. Before you went, did you ever think you’d stay in Oklahoma after graduating? Absolutely not! I was sold on graduating and moving back to Maryland and living in the house that I grew up in.

6. What is one thing you have been afraid of and have had to overcome? How did you overcome it? And what was the result? Roller coasters. When I was in elementary school I went on this one roller coaster and cried the whole time. Up until late high school, I never rode a roller coaster. I overcame this fear by facing it and getting on a roller coaster and realizing that it wasn’t bad at all and that there was nothing to be afraid of. Now, I have no problem riding roller coasters.

7. What passage of scripture have you taken most encouragement from and why? The whole story of Joseph. The man was humble, loved God wholeheartedly, was able to look temptation in the eye and run away from it. The man was faithful to God during the highs and lows of his life and God blessed him for it. He humbled himself and God exalted him before the world. He is also an example of patience, hard work, strong moral character, and non-instant gratification.

8. What would you consider to be the most pinnacle moment in your Christian walk? Has something happened that really changed the way that you walk with the Lord? The “most” pinnacle moment would have to been when I began the journey accepting Christ in high school. Getting involved with the Baptist Student Union when I came to college has really changed how I walk with God.

9. Tell me about the time that you felt most loved by another person. As I was telling Liz, anytime I am given a hug is when I feel loved because my primary love language is physical touch.

10. What is your salvation testimony? I grew up in the Episcopal church and was involved in almost everything at my church. In the summer of 1996, before my sophomore year of high school, I was in a serious car accident with my brother. He was fine, but I was stuck, eventually having to be cut out of the car. Due to some other details, I ended up at a hospital to stay overnight for observation. My mom told me what she had been informed of by one of the paramedics and told me that she believed an angel was sent to lessen the blow on my side of the car and that God had a purpose for my life. I couldn’t sleep that night partly because of what she said and partly because I couldn’t sleep slightly sitting up. I just consciously made the decision to give my life to Christ, but didn’t learn how to really grow until I came to college.

11. Where is your favorite place to go by yourself, and what makes that place so special to you? Other than the bathroom, I guess my favorite place would be my room mainly because its a place where I can be by myself to just relax.

12. If you could go back and change one things you’ve done with regard to your relationship with Elizabeth, what would it be? Maybe starting it earlier than I did, but then that would have meant that it would be longer before getting married, so I am gonna say I wouldn’t change a thing. I have loved every moment of it, good or bad.

13. What’s your dream vacation? Anywhere as long as Liz is there with me.
