Day 14: A Picture of...

...someone I can't live without.

Anyone see a theme??

Day 13: A Picture of...

...your favorite band or artist.

Again, do I really have to pick?? Here are my current top three:




(From L to R -- BarlowGirl, Casting Crowns, Switchfoot)

Day 12: A Picture of...

...something you love.

Day 11: A Picture of...

...something you hate.


Seriously. That's nasty crap.

Day 9: A Picture of...

...the person who has gotten you through the most.

I have a lot of relationship baggage from my boyfriend in high school, and J has been so patient, kind, and understanding through it all.

Day 8: A Picture...

...that makes you laugh.

I have a whole album of stuff I find online that makes me laugh.

Day 7: A Picture of...

...your most treasured item.

This makes me feel really materialistic, but the wording is "item," so here goes:

When J got his Motorola DROID in November 2008, I was like, "I'll never want/need a smart phone. Those things are so expensive and such a waste of money." Open mouth, insert foot. I love my phone. I love that I have access to all my Google calendar, which I have color coded depending on what aspect of my life it affects (seriously, the OCD side of me LOVES this!!). Plus, when I do get a Nook, I'll be able to read those books on my phone if I don't have the Nook with me. I look up teaching ideas at school, I know that weather. Man, when did I become such a tech geek??

Day 6: A Picture of...

...Something You'd Like to Do Again

I would love to go back to the Goshen Valley Boys Ranch in Georgia. My friend T gets to go back in June or July and I'm SO FREAKING JEALOUS. Please refer to my blog post about this trip here.

Day 3: A Picture of...

...the cast from your favorite show.

Off-air:

On-air, I can't choose. I have a few absolute favorites:

Day 2: A Picture of You...

...And the person you have been closest to the longest.

I big puffy heart my mom and my brother. My brother Matt and I have a GREAT relationship, and I blame my mom for that. Well, my mom and my dad. They never really played the "Why can't you be more like your brother/sister" game, and when they divorced in 1997, I had to stay home after school and take care of Matt. As a result, he and I became super close. I lvoe that I can count my brother as one of my best friends. Same with my mom. We've never really had terrible arguments about anything, or had any of those "I hate you" moments as I grew up.

Day 1: A Picture of Yourself...

...With 15 facts

1. I'm trying to teach myself how to play the guitar (I already know how to play bass, as you can see).

2. I think we overpay for our membership to the gym, but it's got a pool and 2 of my best friends work out there, so I'm willing to pony up the price.

3. I like to cook, but I'm terrified of burning what I'm making/totally screwing it up.

4. When I was a kid I really wanted to be an actress.

5. In fact, I still have dreams of stardom -- but as a Christian singer/in a Christian band.

6. I SUCK at video games. At least the RPG ones -- I'm pretty decent at Mario games and I really enjoy puzzle games..

7. One of my most favorite moments of my life -- other than saying "I Do" was when I surprised J with a song at our wedding rehearsal.

8. As huge of a role as camp has played in my life, I definitely feel that I left at a good time. I miss it, of course, but not in a "man, I really wish I could go back" kind of a way -- just a "man, those were good times," kind of a way.

9. I love my cats, and I love watching J interact with them.

10. I am a CPR instructor, and I used ot be a swim instructor; these two qualifications, I think, really helped me snag my job.

11. I'm planning on starting grad school in the fall for literacy -- reading specialist. I'm loving teaching my pre-K kids early reading skills.

12. I love jelly beans, but not cheap ones -- Starburst ones are my favorite.

13. I really hope to pay off as much of our debt as possible before we have children, because Jerome earns enough to pay for pretty much everything, which means I could stay home for a while with our kid(s).

14. I want to buy a Nook Color with my first wedding paycheck (I'm the facilities supervisor at church) and turn it into an Android tablet.

15. I love my youth kids, but I think God is calling me to a different ministry at my church...
