Falling behind...

I know that I'm two days behind, but I am really stuck! What do I hate??? When I figure that out, I am going to have to find a good picture from me a year ago... And by the time I get that done, I will have to figure out who my favorite band is! I will get there eventually :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

My favorite color

Purple

Pretty much every shade,

though I like the darker ones better.

Surprisingly, I don't have much purple in my wardrobe;

so instead you get a picture of this beautiful flower!

My most treasured possession

Today I am supposed to post a picture of my most treasured possession. This should be easy, right? Wrong! The thing that breaks my heart is that I know exactly what it would be. I should be showing off pictures of my beautiful scrapbooks. That and the hard drive with all my digitals on it. I have always said those were the things I would grab in a fire.

So why can't I post them? Well, because of an idiotic moment that ruined a lot of hard work and great memories. It is my own fault and terribly embarrassing so I won't even tell you what happened, but a little over a year ago my scrapbooks got wet. Almost all the pages were ruined. The beautiful book chronicling my courtship with Jeremy, my first year of college and our wedding album. It makes me sick thinking about it all over again. After it happened, it hurt so bad I couldn't even look at them.

My wonderful, beautiful, selfless mother took on the rescue and recovery mission. She took pictures of the pages, salvaged what she could and threw away the rest (something I could not have done). Then, unbeknownst to me, she had Jeremy mail her the negatives and had all the pictures reprinted. In addition, she purchased all the supplies for me to remake the books - pages, paper, stickers etc!! She is one of the most amazing people I know!!!!!

That was Christmas 2009. Partly from the heartbreak, partly out of laziness, and mostly because scrap booking isn't nearly as much fun by yourself, I have not even begun to work on the new books. One of my goals for this summer (one of MANY) is to make major headway on that.

So, all that to say, no picture today. Just think about all the millions of pictures I post on my blogs and facebook and you will know what I treasure the most, memories with the friends and family that I love.

Someone I want to trade places with

I started to post a picture of her as Hermoine,

because that's who I really want to change places with!

I mean who doesn't want to be an

incredibly smart girl with a magic wand?!

Back in reality,

I am also impressed with her real world persona

Emma Watson.

She has handled her fame well

and is using her name and money to support

Fair Trade clothing and other charity work.

I just hope she doesn't turn out to be yet another celebrity

that let's me down...
