photo that makes me sad

Today's topic for the 30 day blog journal is: a photo that makes you sad.

As soon as I read the prompt the photo I chose came to my mind... I thought about picking another picture, but I really want what I write to be honest. I want to look back at what I've written on this blog and see what I was going through @ the time.

The photo I chose is of my mom and dad on their wedding day:

This photo was in a frame on my mom's bedside table for as far back as I can remember. The reason that this photo makes me sad is because it hasn't been on my mom's bedside table since March 2009. The picture came down after we found out about my dad's affairs. This pictures makes me sad because when I see it I think of what could have been...

Day 5- Favorite Quote

"Be the change you wish to see in the world."

Whenever I read this quote I think of the person that I want to be and feel inspired to be the best that I can be in every area of life.

I've decided that I'm going to do my own "101 in 1001." The idea is that you make a list of specific goals or things you want to do in 1001 days (almost 3 years). I've always been a person that works better when I have lists or goals, so I think I can really get into this. I also like that it's not only for personal goals but adventures and fun things that you want to do in 1001 days. I feel like 1001 days (2.75 years) is a pretty realistic timeframe as each season is covered more than once. So... I'm working on my list but I'm wondering... do you guys have any suggestions? Any "must see" or "must do's" that you guys can recommend?

Over & Out!

WBoM and Blog Journal

Happy Hump Day friends!

I always giggle when I hear the word "humpday." Up until a few years ago I thought it was a sexual reference. One day after work I went out to dinner with my mom and was filling her in on this girl I worked with who, about once a week would tell me "happy humpday" which was way too much information. My mom burst out laughing and filled me in on the true meaning of the word... it's been a little inside {not so inside now} joke with our family ever since!!

Talk about a major blonde moment in my life...

Anyways, I'm joining in with Leigh Ashley today, feel free to hop and over and join in too! :)

{three} what's your guilty pleasure tv show?

I can't deny it... I love the Kardashians and I don't care who knows it.

It would be super hard for me to give up my Cliff bar/Awake tea ritual in the morning.

hmm.... I think either Hermione Granger [Harry Potter] or Alice Cullen [Twilight]

{six} what's your favorite season of the year?

I love things about every season, every time a new one starts I realize how much I appreciate it. That being said, I'd have to say fall. I love the smells, the leaves changing, fires in the fireplace, football, halloween [I'm SO excited to pick out a costume for Jay!], thanksgiving and don't even get me started on how excited I get for Christmas... I'm getting excited even thinking about it!!

{ten} if you could only listen to one song for the next month, which song would it be?

I LOVE music, but I don't know ANY song that I could listen to for a whole month without getting sick of it...

Day 4- My favorite book

Hands down... The Bible.

Jesus is my homeboy.

Happy Hump Day ;)

Joining in on the Journaling

I've decided to join in the 30 day Blog Journal. I know I'm a little behind but... oh well, right?! I'm going to cover Day 1, 2 and 3 in this post so I'm all caught up. Feel free to head over *here* to join in the fun!!

Day 1- My Favorite Song

Whoomp! (There it is) by Tag Team

I LOVE this song so much... it's just so much fun and always puts me in a good mood!!

Day 2- My Favorite Movie

When I was little I had strep throat quite a few times, every time I was home sick from school my mom would go to the library and check this movie out. She would get me popsicles [the rootbeer, banana and lime pack :) ] and then get me all snuggled up on the couch. Whenever I watch this movie it takes me back and makes me want to cuddle up with some popsicles.

Day 3- My Favorite Television Program

Ok, so LOST is over... but it was my favorite t.v. show!

And now that I'm all caught up I'm going to try and get some sleep while Jay's asleep!

Nighty night :)

one of those days...

Jayden was up until 4am... I woke up and stepped in cat barf [*so gross*]... Jay had a MAJOR #3 [If you aren't familiar with a "number 3" let me enlighten you:

...not a pretty sight!!]

The whole day was going down hill until... my dear friend Nicole came by and picked me up to go get pedicures.

... if I didn't know better I'd say that the woman giving the pedicure knew it was one of those days because she gave me an extra long massage! It was *heavenly*

It was the perfect escape! I came home, Josh left to go on call at the Fire Dept and then Nicole called and invited me over for big girl drinks!!

I ♥ Nicole!

Thanks for making "one of those days" into a great day!

Aren't good girlfriends just the best?!
