Today in my History 202 class we talked about a few emperors in Chinese history who were known as Emperor Shulyeman the Great, or Emperor Kimchi the Magnificent...or whatev. So our teacher says, take a minute to talk to your neighbor about what word you would choose to be known as. One girl said "the friendly"...ahh precious, right? Other guys said "the righteous", "the wise" and my personal favorite, "the chill". Then my professor said too bad none of us will ever get to go by these names because we'll never be significant enough in history. That was kind of sad. I thought long and hard about what I would choose, even though my dreams of ever being known by it were crushed. Here's what I decided: Abby the Determined.
I make goals and I like to reach them. My sister Hannah might put it, Abby the Stubborn, but that's not really inspiring. Guess what? Did you know that determined is another word for stubborn for real? It's listed in the Thesaurus as a synonym for stubborn. Great.

ha ha. That's hilarious. So my description is completely accurate and backed up by the thesaurus. Great!
After seeing your determination at work this last week, I seriously would put NOTHING past you. A-M-A-Z-I-N-G.
Abby the Determined aka stubborn. I like it. As Queen, I hereby dub thee "Abby the Determined" from here and forevermore. Thus shall it be written in the annals of history. You are definitely important enough to be known by that name.
Love you
Queen Mom
I read your post this morning and was thinking about what I would be called. I think after today I would have to go with something like: Andrea the Absent Minded.
I'm cool with that because then people won't expect a lot from me. If someone needs me to accomplish something I'll kindly refer them to my determined sis-in-law.
I always look forward to days when I google reader flashes and says, "Abby Marie, your favorite little sister, of your favorite friend, has posted on her blog." It says all that to me. Don't I have a great reader. I do, I know it. I like the "Abby the determined" thing. Mine would be something like, "Lindsi the crazy" Not as eloquent. You're cool.
