Day 6

A picture of your favorite memory

I know this picture isn't of a specific time or event but it's a picture of my grandparents house. Since I was a child, this is one of my favorite places to visit. Some of my fondest memories are in this house. Whether in the pool that used to be in the back yard, or on the metal swing set (which I'm sure is painted with lead based paint), picking berries from my grandmas garden or sending my dolls down the laundry shoot, a good time is always had by all who enter this home. No matter how old I am, or how long its been since my last visit I know this place has a bowl of yankee salad and a cold cherry coke waiting for me!

Day 5

Someone you would trade place with for just one day.

I love Paula Deen! Her southern charm, and skills in the kitchen make me admire her, and want to be her sometimes. Just for one day though. I like being me!

Day 4

A picture of a fun night!

Every year my friends and I have a murder mystery party for Halloween. We've done it for the past 3 years and I look forward to it pretty much all year. Themes from the past 3 years have been Trailer Trash Tragedy, Lights, Camera, Murder (picture above is from that night), and this year we had a Murder at the Abby Manor Masquerade. Its such a fun night for friends to just be together and silly!

Day 3
A picture of the cast of your favorite TV show
Why yes that is the Gilmore Girls!

Day 2
A picture with the friend(s) you've had the longest.

These two beautiful ladies are my sweet, sweet friends Betsy and Paula. We have all been friends since 5th Grade where we met in Mrs. Rogers class at Tyson Elementary. To say we share a past would be an understatement. As friends and young women we've all gone our separate ways but when we can we get together and have a great time, and always share a ton of laughs. I know that I can depend on these two for anything and am so blessed and grateful for their friendship!

30 Days

So, lots of my friends on Facebook are doing this 30 Day project and I thought it looked like fun.

Here goes.

DAY 1

A picture of yourself with 15 facts.

1. I love to write. I doodle with words not pictures.
2. My two biggest fears in life are grasshoppers and public restrooms.
3. I love my job, and I'm so thankful God has blessed me with the opportunities that are presented to me daily to serve Him.
4. I love cherry coke, it's my favorite drink. However it has to be bottled by the Coca-Cola Company and it cant be mixed anywhere else.
5. I'm addicted to Post Secret. I think it's because I wish I had a fun secret to tell.
6. I'm an aunt to the coolest 6 kids you will ever meet.
7. There are several jobs I want to have for just one day. Examples are; being a shampoo girl in a salon, working at a coffee shop and a nurse.
8. I want to learn how to cook. I'm a very pick eater, but I would love how to make more than just mac-n-cheese
9. I suffer from extreme motion sickness. Sometimes I get car sick when I'm driving
10. I often think about who will come to my funeral. Morbid I know. But it's true.
11. I love to travel and am always up for a road trip.
12. I don't necessarily love sports, but I love live sporting events. The atmosphere at the games is always so exciting.
13. I'm obsessed with Chick-fil-A and if I go too long without eating it I go through withdraws.
14. I love apples and oranges, but hate apple juice and orange juice.
15. Stationary and pens are my favorite things to collect. I could spend hours upon hours in a office supply store.
