Day 16: Someone Who Inspires Me

My mom

She is such a wonderful person.

She is the most selfless, loving, kind, giving person I know.

If I could be even half as compassionate and giving as she is I would be happy!

Day 15: Something I want to do before I die

This is my precious nephew Charlie one day after he was born.

I can't wait until I am holding one of my own.

Day 12: Me a Year Ago

Taken February 2010

Hmmm....

How have I changed?

Well, I hope I'm a few pounds lighter! :)

I hope my face doesn't look so chubby in pictures any more.

Ummm...

I am a homeowner now.

That's something big.

In some ways, I'm a much more in control of myself.

I am proud of how much weight I have been able to lose.

I am proud of being able to count calories and make sacrifices.

I am proud of how many of those changes have become permanent for me now.

I am also proud of how long I have kept up my disciplined nightly schedule,

(though I am way off tonight...)

I have felt for a long time that I should be more in control of my time,

that I should have time to do the things I wanted to,

I just had to be a little more disciplined.

I have finally done that.

Other than that, I don't really think I have changed that much,

but it's hard to tell. :D

Day 10

The description of today was obviously written by a teenager.

Or someone with a much more interesting life than mine...

So I'm modifying a little bit.

Today is a tribute to the person with whom

I have done the craziest things, for me.

Because I am not really a crazy kind of girl.

I am a stick to what I know, routine, stay in my comfort zone kind of girl.

The person who has pushed me

out of that comfort zone the most is Jeremy.

And not because he is a crazy kid,

but because together, we are much more brave!

This picture was the last one taken of us before we boarded a plane to Italy...

And yes, that does go down in my book as the

"craziest" thing I ever did.

I left behind ever conceivable comfort zone

to live two years in a foreign country.

I would NEVER have done that without Jeremy.

Thank you honey.

You are the love of my life,

the breath to my soul,

my inspiration and my strength.

Day 9

I will be away from my computer this weekend, so I thought I would get a little ahead.

This is one of my all time favorite pictures of my family.

And this is the reason I will be gone.

This is the reason I am stressing myself out

trying to get things ready for a sub

and get myself ready for another weekend away from home.

My family.

As I mentioned in the 15 facts about me,

I LOVE my family!!

I HATE that we live so far from each other

and I am THRILLED that I get to see them again so soon.

And yes, this picture is taken at Whataburger.

If you know us, you know how appropriate that is! :D

Someone I have been closest with the longest

July 2001

I always wanted a best friend,

I mean a true best friend.

One that sticks around no matter what.

Someone who would stay close emotionally

even if we had to be apart physically.

I was 17 before that prayer was answered.

God knew exactly what I needed when he

brought me together with Jeremy.

12 years later we are still together

and he is still my best friend!

Fifteen Facts about Me

I don't even know where to begin! What in the world would anyone want to know about me???

1. I adore my husband! I think he is one of the best human beings on the planet.

2. I am OBSESSED with the Twilight series! I own all the books and movies and listen to the books repeatedly.

3. I LOVE the Harry Potter Series. We own all the books and movies and watch/listen to them over and over. I would love to go to the Harry Potter Theme Park.

4. My new passion is working out and eating right. Since the new year, I have worked out on a regular basis. The only days I tend to cheat are Fridays, but hey, everyone needs a day off now and then!

5. I have lost one pant size and am only 10 pounds from my goal weight. It is going to be a real struggle to make that final push, but I really hope to by summer.

6. We are really getting into organics and generally getting back to eating natural foods. We are far from perfect, but working on it.

7. I actually enjoy weeding. It gives me such a sense of accomplishment to conquer those feisty little things! Until I look up at the other 7/8s of the yard yet to be done... :D

8. I strongly dislike cooking. I like how happy it makes my husband when I do, but I really don't enjoy any part of it. Unless we are cooking together!

9. My new favorite food is Jeremy's pizza! He makes the dough himself and cooks it on his grill. It is the most delicious thing EVER!! If you haven't had some, you need to come visit. :)

10. I absolutely ADORE my nieces and nephews!!! If it were up to me, they would live next door so I could love on them whenever I wanted to!

11. I desperately miss my family in Italy. My heart aches to see them again, but every time things look promising for a trip, something goes wrong...

12. I really wish I could afford to have an interior designer come in and decorate my house. I am so not good at it and I want so bad to have a nicely decorated house. So tired of boring white!

(Wow, once I got started I was kind of on a roll...and now I'm stuck...)

13. I really like crime dramas like Without a Trace and Bones, though they often give me nightmares...

14. I have a bad habit of washing laundry and then not folding it, or folding it and leaving it on the couch :/

One more, oh what should it be???

15. I love my family. My mom is my best friend. I am my daddy's sweetheart. My brothers are two of the coolest, most wonderful people I know!
