Day 25: A picture of your day

My day has been busy with driving from Miamisburg to West Chester to Centerville. Busy, busy busy day. The sad thing is that this is just the beginning of my weekend. Crazy driving for the next 3 days. Poor little car I feel bad for you.

Day 24: A picture of something you wish you could change

Okay, I am being completely honest. I wish I could look this happy when I look at myself. Yep that is what I would change. I know it's probably more than everyone wanted to know. I truly don't think much of myself. As we all know we are our worst critics and pick on ourselves the most. Kinda sad I know, but true. I want to be able to see what Trav sees.

(This is a picture of me while we are talking over webcams, you see how happy that man makes me)

Day 23: A picture of your favorite book

This was hard to pick. I love all books. When I read this one I immediately fell in love with it. Stephenie Meyer is an awesome author. I love the fact that she can write for teens and then write a adult fiction. She is really talented and I hope that she writes more.

Day 22: A picture of something you wish you were better at;

I really wish I was craftier. My mom is so very talented. If only I would have payed more attention to her when she was trying to teach me how to sew more when I was younger. Maybe with some practice I'll get a little better.

Day 21: A picture of something you wish you could forget;

This was last September when we lost my Grandma. I am so close to these grandparents. It breaks my heart that both Papa Bill and Mama Pat are both gone now. I know I will see them again, but I'll miss them so much until then.

Day 20: A picture of somewhere you'd love to travel;

My dream vacation is the Ireland. My mom's family is from here and it means so much to me. It's like something is beckoning me there. We will go there one of these days, and I will love every minute of it.

Day 19: A picture and a letter;

This is a letter from my Daddy after one of their visits to Trav and my apartment. I love the letters my dad gives me once in a while. Everytime I visit home he always leaves a note in my suitcase. It is a very sweet tradition that he has kept up with since I was a freshman in college.

Day 18: A picture of your biggest insecurity;

I am insanely self-conscious about my weight and my figure. I am always worried about if I workout enough. I hate what I look like even though my wonderful man tells me to not worry about it.

Day 17: A picture of something that's had a huge impact on your life recently;

Horse'n Around Farm

This is my awesome barn. We have over 30 horses that we have currently. Some are for our summer camps and some that are in training. We are busy busy people. I love how playing with horses can make me so happy. Whenever I am having a bad day I just go to the barn and the horses put a smile on my face.

I love what I do.

Day 16: A picture of someone who inspires you;

Travis is my hero. He has experienced, and accomplished so much. I supports me in all my crazy ventures. He makes me feel like I can do anything. I want to be the very most I can be. This man is amazing and all I can do is try to be worthy of his company.

Thank you honey for all that you are and all that you do for me.

Day 15: A picture of something you want to do before you die;

I have always, always wanted to ride a horse on a beach. There is something about being able to run as far as you can see with the power, beauty and grace of the ocean right next to you.

I will do this before I die, I just know it.

Day 14: A picture of someone you could never imagine your life without;

Ahh my 2 men of the house.

I really didn't have any stupendous pictures of all 3 of my great kids.

Rocco is my companion when Travis is gone.

And Travis is my partner in crime.

Oh the adventures we like to have.

Day 13: A picture of your favorite band or artist;

Thrice

It was first band that I thought of that I love.

I just LOVE loud awesome music.

Day 12: A picture of something you love;

I LOVE horses!!! This is one of my favorite pals, Jewell. Now all I gotta do is get a good picture of Travis and I. Then I would have a picture of 2 of my favorite things.

Day 11: A picture of something you hate;

I told you they were evil! No they are not cute, they are not sweet, they are rodents and are evil!

Other things would include, spiders, stupid people with no common sense, oh and the list goes on......

Day 10: A picture of someone you do the most effed up things with;

I have done some pretty strange and crazy things in my life, thanks to Jessica, and Natalie, but Travis and I are insane.

This picture is when Travis and I went snorkeling in Ketchikan Alaska, the water was at least 50 degrees. One of the crazy things that we did while there.

Day 9: A picture of the person who has gotten you through the most;

So this was harder than I thought it would be.

I had to pick my parents. I will admit there were times where I really didn't know where to turn and I could always talk to either one of them. They have always been good listeners and have directed me on the right path when I have gone astray.

I love you both. I don't think I will ever be able to fully show how grateful I am for both of you.

*There have been more wonderful people in my life that have helped me through some AWEFUL times. I didn't want you to think I forgot about you.

My beautiful sister Jessica

My gorgeous best friend Natalie

And my oh so handsome husband Travis

Thank you all!

Day 8: A picture that makes you laugh;

This is a hilarious yet humiliating memory! This was the first time I ever tasted sushi. It was only a California roll with imitation crab meat. Oh but it was horrible! We actually have video of the experience with Travis and our friends laughing me the whole time.

Horrible I tell you, horrible!!

Day 7: A picture of my most treasured item;

Ok so it's more than item. But we just got approved for this house. We are so excited because we have been in an apartment for umm the last 9 yrs!
We are so excited!!!

It had 4 bedrooms, 2 baths, a huge kitchen, a dining room, living room, family room, and a 2 car garage. Not sure what we are gonna do with all this room. But hey it is not an apartment!!

Day 6: A picture of a person you'd love to trade places with for a day;

Now don't get me wrong but I am very happy with my life and I really don't want to trade places with anyone but when I saw this picture it got me thinking.

Our friends Jim and Erin are really close to family out west so they can visit more often than we can. That makes one reason I would trade places. Ok really that's the main reason. We miss family a lot!

Day 5: A picture of your favorite memory

Ok actually I have way too many favorite ones. The first being the day Travis proposed but when I saw this one on my computer I had to post this one.

This is at our reception in California. Travis dancing with my youngest sister, Amelia, while the rest of us get ready for the evening. She loves her big brother, and always has. She was so young, wow she has grown up so fast.

Day 4: A picture of your night

Umm do I look tired to anyone else? This is after being on the go since 5:30 this morning and I just got home at 9:45 pm.

Needless to say, it's been a very long day.

Can I go to sleep now? Nope got paperwork to do :(

Day 3: A picture of the cast from your favorite show;

Well honestly I have several, but we'll go with the first one that comes to mind.

Bones

I LOVE this show!!! Missing this show is the only reason I miss having cable. Sometimes I wonder if I chose the wrong profession. Forensics are awesome!

Good thing I have a very laid back schedule today. Not sure how the rest of the week will go.

Day 2: A picture of you and the person you have been closest with the longest

I love my momma! This was taken with my bridal pictures. We have always been close. Sure we've had our bad days but I can still always tell her everything. It's great to have such an awesome relationship with such a super mom.

Now on to tomorrow.
